With covid-19 still very much on people’s mind, couples are choosing to err on the side of caution by integrating some covid safety recommendations into their big day.

For this reason, it is expected that more people will opt to book outdoor weddings in 2022. But it’s not just outdoor wedding venues which expect to see an increase in demand. It is also expected that more people will host ‘back yard weddings’ on their own land making use of partially open marquees and tipis.

My third trend to note is the final one which has derived from the pandemic, and that is the increased use of local suppliers for weddings. The country has really pulled together to help small businesses survive through such difficult times and it is fair to say that people appreciate the value of small businesses more than ever.

Moving away from the doom and gloom of covid, another trend which is predicted for 2022 is the more inclusive approach to food and drink. With increased awareness of dietary requirements like gluten free as well as personal dietary preferences like Veganism, it is expected that couples will chose to source more diverse catering options.

It is also expected that more alcohol-free drinks options will be on the menu for 2022 weddings as pregnancy is booming and people are also drinking less in an effort to become healthier.

And finally, one big thing on many brides’ minds is the 2022 wedding colour trends! Much like in the world of home décor, couples are moving away from the ‘all grey’ approach and opting for warmer neutral colours like beiges, creams, and browns. These earthly colours are particularly in-keeping with the use of outdoor space for weddings.

I expect to see the use of dried flowers carry over from 2021 to 2022 but again these are predicted to boast more neutral colours with the inclusion of pampas grass.
