The hottest wedding trends of 2019

From food trucks to photobooths, here are seven ideas to inspire your big day

Balloon installations

Party balloons have come a long way – balloon arches, installations, garlands and sculptures are now a fully-fledged business, and add a fun, modern vibe to your wedding. Choose a subdued hue that matches your bouquet or go for bright metallics and install them above the table settings for maximum impact.

Photobooths with a difference

A photobooth makes a wedding as memorable for your guests as it is for you, and it’s often the focal point of all the fun. SAVVY Selfie Mirror Booth is a full-length interactive booth that comes with classy props, several photo strip designs and fits up to 15 people at a time. It’s also powered by a high-end digital SLR camera, so you can get your favourite photos of the day printed on large canvas to capture your favourite wedding moments.

Crowd-sourced playlists

Want all of your guests to be catered for on the dancefloor? Email everyone prior to your big day asking them to send you three songs they love to dance to, then get to work compiling the playlist.

Food trucks

 Tacos, wood-fired pizzas, hot dogs and fries, gozleme – food trucks are still big news, so hire them to cater for late-night feeds and add some culinary fun. Delight your guests by serving up locally roasted barista-made coffees from a truck – after all, who doesn’t love a coffee (serve them out of personalised Mr + Mrs paper cups for an extra touch)!

Succulents and greenery

From foliage on your table runners to fresh leaves tucked in your hair or flower crown, greenery is having a big moment. Consider mini succulents or cactus as favours for your guests or a green bouquet to create a stylish and down-to-earth vibe for your wedding.

Grazing tables

 The ultimate in Instagrammble wedding features, grazing tables – also known as feasting tables – are beautifully styled charcuterie boards piled high with delicious antipasti, cold meats, olives, cheeses and bite-sized deliciousness such as fresh fruits, dips, assorted breads, crackers and salads. Add an extra twist by picking grazing table themes such as summer seasonal, vegan or dessert. Local caterers can help you out and abundance is the key word here.

Flower walls

Hanging flowers, flowers entwined with fairy lights as the backdrop to the wedding party table … the possibilities here are endless. Flower walls are a beautiful way to bring the outside inside and are big news at weddings. Keep the vibe monochrome with traditional white or go for a tropical theme. And, remember, you can also have a flower wall that isn’t a square block – circular or heart-shaped walls make a gorgeous take on the traditional flower wall.
