5 Wedding Design Trends I’m Loving

Weddings are all about the details, the little elements that bring a vision to life and make the day feel uniquely personal. As a wedding designer and photographer, I love seeing how trends evolve, blending classic elegance with fresh, creative touches. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with a few design trends that elevate wedding decor in a stunning and intentional way. If you’re planning a wedding (or just love good design) here are five trends I can’t get enough of!

Linen Signage- An Elegant Statement

There’s something about linen signage that feels effortlessly romantic. Instead of traditional acrylic or wood signs, couples are opting for fabric-based designs. Flowing welcome signs, cocktail menus draped over the bartop, or hanging seating charts that add movement and texture. This trend blends seamlessly into both modern and vintage aesthetics, creating a soft, organic touch that makes wedding signage feel more like an art piece than just information.

Abstract Florals- Sculptural & Cascading Arrangements

Florals have always been a centerpiece of wedding design, but lately I’ve been loving the shift toward abstract, sculptural arrangements. Think lilies and orchids cascading in unexpected ways, asymmetrical installations, and bouquets that feel like modern art. These designs bring a touch of drama making them perfect for statement moments like a bride’s bouquet. They add an editorial, fashion forward touch while still feeling romantic and ethereal.

Colored Glassware- A Vibrant Pop on the Tablescape

Colored glassware is an easy, inexpensive, yet impactful way to add personality to a wedding table. Whether you’re incorporating bold colored goblets for a statement or soft pastels for a romantic touch, swapping standard clear glassware for something with color instantly elevates the tablescape. You can go all in with every place setting or just use it at the head table for an eye-catching focal point. Either way, it’s a simple design choice that makes a big visual impact.

Long Banquet Tables- Picture Perfect

Banquet-style seating has taken over wedding receptions and for good reason. Long tables create a warm, communal atmosphere where guests can engage with more people instead of just those seated beside them. Not to mention, the photos of long, candlelit tables stretching across a reception space… absolutely breathtaking. This layout works especially well with abundant floral runners and layered taper candles, giving a full, luxurious look to the tablescape.

Printed Plates & Patterned Linens- The Chicest Accent

If you’re looking for an unexpected way to make your tablescape feel more curated and layered, printed plates or patterned linens are the way to go. Whether it’s delicate florals or bold geometric patterns, these elements add a pop of personality. They are a great way to break up a table setting and make everything feel styled and intentional. It’s all about those simple touches that take a table from simple to stunning.

The best part about these trends? They create a wedding atmosphere that feels intentional, immersive, and full of character. Whether you’re drawn to the elegance of linen signage, the vibrancy of colored glassware, or the sculptural beauty of abstract florals, these details work together to bring a wedding vision to life.
