If you’ve spent any length of time on the internet, you’re probably familiar with the “Ins and Outs for 2024” trend. Well, what kind of trendy, ahead-of-the-curve wedding planners would we be if we didn’t put our own spin on it?! Here are the things that we’re saying hello and goodbye to this year!

Ins:

1. Nods to Vintage Wedding Pieces: Say hello to the charm of weddings past! Vintage is making a grand comeback, and it’s all about the little details. Think bows, brass, and all things nostalgic. Incorporate vintage elements into your wedding for that timeless, romantic touch. Your guests will adore the classic vibes! Bonus points- your mom may still have some details from her wedding in the 80s or 90s that you can borrow!
2. Earthy Textures and Tones: Get in tune with nature by using earthy textures and tones. Swap out traditional florals for greenery with minimal blooms, embrace bamboo textures, and introduce stone signage like travertine. The result? A wedding that feels organic, serene, and oh-so Instagrammable. We actually talked about this a few months ago in a blog post we wrote about the Japandi style!
3. Experiential Favors: Move over, traditional favors! 2024 is all about giving your guests an experience to remember. Consider henna tattoo stations, a classy cigar bar, or even permanent jewelry stations. These personalized favors add a unique touch to your celebration, leaving your guests with lasting memories.

Outs:

1. Traditional Guest Books: Toss out the classic guest book and make room for creativity! Audio guest books, instant camera photo albums, and coffee table books are stealing the show. Let your guests express themselves in unique ways, capturing their heartfelt messages and well wishes.
2. Generic Decor: Say goodbye to generic and hello to personalized! 2024 weddings are all about showcasing your personality through color palette, playful patterns, and rich textures. Infuse life into your decor, making it a true reflection of your love story. Don’t be afraid to let your creativity shine! We also love to see elements of your love story infused throughout the day- your wedding day is a celebration of what makes you YOU!
3. Open Seating at the Reception: The era of open seating is taking a backseat. With weddings accommodating more and more guests, it’s crucial to ensure each person has a spot that’s theirs. Couples are getting inventive with seating charts, incorporating themes and even tying them into their experiential favors. Goodbye seating chaos and hello organization and structure!

There you have it, our 6 Ins and Outs for 2024 Weddings. Embrace the trends, make it uniquely yours, and let your love story unfold in the most memorable way possible. Happy planning!
