WEDDINGS
TOP WEDDING TRENDS
for 2020
GETTING MARRIED IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST OCCASIONS IN ANYONE’S LIFE. WHETHER YOU ARE GOING
FOR A SIMPLE, INTIMATE WEDDING OR AN ALL-OUT EXTRAVAGANZA, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO
GET YOUR DREAM DAY JUST RIGHT. FROM THE INVITATIONS AND WEDDING RINGS, THROUGH TO
THE OUTFITS AND HAIR, THERE IS SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT AND EVERYTHING MUST BE JUST
PERFECT FOR YOU AND YOUR PARTNER. HERE IS insideKENT’S GUIDE TO THE TOP TRENDS FOR 2020,
TO HELP YOU PLAN THE WEDDING OF THE DECADE!
Sustainability From Start to Finish
With the increasing concern and importance of
climate change and a move away from plastics,
sustainability is a key trend for any wedding in
2020. From sustainable invitations, plastic free confetti
and favours, through to recyclable decorations,
holding a planet-friendly wedding is top of most
people’s agenda.
The great news is there is so much choice out there
to enable you to have the perfect sustainable wedding.
Starting with the invitations, Paul Dickinson,
managing director at Norma & Dorothy, a hand-
crafted wedding stationery business, observes that
“The biggest trend we’re seeing across everything is
32
sustainability, which affects the design and style of
a wedding throughout. An increasing number of
people are using wildflowers for their sustainable
weddings and flowers are just everywhere at the
moment. Customers are creating floral pieces for
tables, wall decorations, archways and floral hoops
have been a big trend as central design features. It
is leading to an increase in customers choosing
wildflower designs for their wedding stationery,
with our biggest seller continuing to be our floral
hoop invitation.”
Making Sure Your Day is a Blinder!
The Peaky Blinders TV show has had a lot of
influence on male wedding attire. Whether the
groom, a groomsman, or a guest, tweed is the hottest
material for any male at a wedding in 2020.
Hockerty.uk, who have been producing made to
measure suits since 2008, have seen that vintage and
rustic weddings are right on trend. “Our customers
are demanding more and more tweed fabrics for
their wedding day. We are expecting this trend to
keep growing in 2020 and 3 piece tweed suits are
becoming really popular.”
So whether you opt for a classic grey tweed
that looks good during every season, brown tweed
that is ideal for country weddings, blue tweed
which works perfectly for autumn and winter
weddings, or the classic plaid tweed, you are sure to
be right on trend.
