Rhode Island Weddings: 5 Trending Themes for 2024
Hello, lovely readers!
As we’re deep in 2024, Rhode Island weddings are coming in hot and stylish, making a mark in the wedding scene! I can’t believe I’m already completely booked for weddings in 2024 and starting to make moves for 2025, and as I start my prepping I’ve been looking at a LOT of wedding pics and trends that have been popping up in my feed. If you’re in the midst of planning your own nuptials or just an enthusiast like me, you’ll want to know what's shaking up the Ocean State this year. So, pull up a chair, grab your favorite beverage, and let’s dive into the top 5 wedding themes that are causing all the buzz.
1. Nautical Chic: Anchors Away!
2. Eco-Friendly Elegance: Going Green, the Stylish Way
3. Rustic Rhode Island Retreat: Back to the Basics with a Twist
Who doesn't love a good ol' barn wedding? But the rustic theme this year is getting a dash of sophistication. We're talking about barns adorned with twinkling fairy lights, lace table runners over raw wooden tables, and cute, customized mason jar giveaways. Imagine a backdrop of Rhode Island’s lush countryside with the soothing tunes of a live folk band playing. As I’m sure many of you have noticed about my work, I looooove that connection with nature and the rustic elegance it lends to photographs (and an event, of course). It’s simple, intimate, and oh-so-beautiful. And not to mention SO much fun. Definitely one of my favourite trends I hope is here to stay for awhile.
4. Vintage Garden Party: Old-School Cool
Drawing inspiration from the glitz and glamour of the 1920s and 1930s, the vintage garden party theme is all the rage. But it's not just about flapper dresses and classic tuxedos. Venues are being transformed into green, leafy havens, reminiscent of The Great Gatsby’s lavish parties. With antique tableware, vintage photo booths, and a jazz band to get everyone on the dance floor, it’s the kind of party even Jay Gatsby would envy. The palette has seen a shift towards muted golds, soft pastels, and intricate lace, all complemented by the sparkling glow of chandeliers and candlelit centerpieces. While we can’t all expect our guests to don feathered headbands, pearls, and suspenders, there are so many decorative touches that can transform your wedding day into an extravagant, immersive experience. The cocktails served are classics, with bartenders shaking up mint juleps, gin fizzes, and sidecars. Everywhere you look, there's a nod to the old-world charm, from the Art Deco invitations to the vintage cars that whisk couples away. But beyond the aesthetics, what truly stands out is the aura of opulence and romance, where every detail is a loving ode to a bygone era, yet tailored to modern sensibilities. It’s an exquisite blend of nostalgia and contemporary elegance, making it an unforgettable experience for all who partake.
