Are you looking ahead to your wedding in 2023? If so, you’re probably searching for inspiration and ideas of what you can do to make your special day a unique one. North Carolina has some beautiful venues and landscapes, and there are many trends emerging that will make your big day truly spectacular. Here are a few wedding trends that we predict will be popular in 2023.

Smaller Guest Lists

We expect more couples to opt for smaller guest lists this year. After all, the pandemic has forced many people to downsize their celebrations, which has made them realize just how important it is to have an intimate gathering with only their closest family and friends. Smaller weddings also give couples the opportunity to create a more personalized experience, as well as keep their budgets in check. Plus, it’s easier for couples to manage the logistics with fewer guests!

Outdoor Ceremonies

With so many incredible outdoor locations across North Carolina, we expect outdoor ceremonies to become increasingly popular this year. From breathtaking beaches and sprawling vineyards to lush gardens and picturesque farmsteads – there are endless possibilities for hosting an unforgettable ceremony outdoors! The great thing about having an outdoor ceremony is that it gives you plenty of room for creativity when it comes time to decorate – from string lights strung through trees or draped across columns, or wildflower arrangements cascading down aisle runners – the possibilities are endless!

We predict these trends will be popular among North Carolina brides-to-be in 2023. Whether you choose an intimate celebration with close family and friends or something larger with virtual elements included – remember that your day should reflect your unique style as a couple! With so many stunning outdoor venues available as well as plenty of options for personalizing even the smallest details – planning your dream wedding should be both fun and exciting. Best wishes on finding just what you’re looking for!
