2023 Wedding Trend Predictions: Plan Your Dream Wedding with These Inspirational Ideas

These 2023 wedding trend predictions come straight from our crystal ball to you! Ok, we may not be psychic but we’ve got our fingers on the pulse of the wedding world and these are the trends we think we’ll see for destination weddings in 2023. Ready to be inspired?

Bright, bold and beautiful: 2023 wedding decor that POPS

Rich purples, deep emerald greens, fun fuschia, we are expecting to see some colorful weddings this year. Of course we will still see the beautiful neutrals many brides prefer but we LOVE when Villa la Joya is full of color and light. A destination wedding in Mexico was made for colorful decor, from flowers to napkins to the sweetheart’s table, viva Mexico, viva los colores!

Unconventional wedding dresses and an eye on sustainability

2023 brides are going to bring us some GREAT surprises! The trends for 2023 wedding dresses are taking us down an unconventional path with suits and separates that can be worn again and paired with anything. Wearing a bridal gown once is not sustainable so many designers and brides are taking this into consideration. A super hot trend is bridal gowns with removable long skirts that convert to a sexy short dress for the reception and we think we‘ll be seeing a lot of sexy thigh-high slits this year!

2023 Bridesmaids dresses for destination weddings

We are going to see more and more mismatched bridesmaid dresses coming up in 2023. This is a super way to allow your bridal party to show off their own personality, giving them the freedom to choose silhouettes that best fit their bodies. The styles will be less formal and more laidback, again leaning towards sustainability and giving bridesmaids a dress they can wear again instead of just hiding it away in the closet in a garment bag.

2023 Destination Wedding Trends: Big weddings are back

The pandemic put a damper on a whole lot of wedding plans, with cancellations everywhere, and couples trying to find a way to have the wedding of their dreams during a world crisis. As travel restrictions were lifted, we saw a lot of lovely small weddings and intimate affairs with the nearest and dearest. With the world opening up again, we’re going to see some FABULOUS fiestas and a trend to the bigger weddings we used to see. Invite ALL your family and friends and celebrate with a huge party!

Wedding photos in 2023: Candids, Polaroids and Natural Light

Wedding photos in 2023 are going to be less formal and posed and more casual and candid! We can help you choose a great Playa del Carmen wedding photographer who will be the perfect fit for your big day and have a great understanding of the latest wedding trends. We are going to be seeing a lot more disposable cameras and Polaroids at 2023 weddings in Mexico, snap and instant print and enjoy the moment forever.

Tik Tok Don’t Stop: Move Over Pinterest, Tik Tok is Taking Over

The video application TikTok is THE way for young couples to look for 2023 wedding inspiration. More than just pinning a look, TikTok video creators are bringing content full of ideas, inspiration, and loads of tips and tricks for wedding planning in 2023. TikTok has been given the title “the future of wedding planning”, if you don’t have the app, download it now! Or follow our Wedding Planning TikTok for inspiration.

Wedding gift registries 2023: Move over toasters, welcome experiences!

Wedding registries of course will always have the “traditional” household items to get the newlyweds started in their new life. We are now seeing more and more registries leaning towards “experiences” rather than the consumable goods that many couples already have. Register for a dinner cruise in your hometown, a fun class for the couple to take together (salsa dancing anyone?), or a trip of a lifetime to swim with whale sharks near Cancun. There is now a big trend towards cash registries too, as simple as adding a Venmo or other money-sharing apps that make it easy for your loved ones to send a little something for the newlyweds.
