Wedding inspiration is all around you, all you have to do is look! We’ve put together the best ideas from around the world including 2023 trends in pop culture, interior design concepts, and more, and tell you how you can incorporate them into your wedding. Check out this 2023 Wedding Trends Look Book sneak peek below.
Designing your wedding can be a lot like planning the interior of your home or choosing the perfect outfit. The colors, textures, and patterns are a reflection of who you are and how you want to present yourself. As we search for trends across the globe in streetwear, interior design, and pop culture, we envision how these ideas can influence wedding design as well. The best part is that everything you see in the world around you is fair game. Think about the outfits you see on the Paris Fashion Week runway, the illumination of an art studio, glassware at your favorite restaurant, and even plush furniture settings in hotel lounges. You can weave any of these elements into your wedding day with a little creativity and imagination.
In the Wedding Trends Look Book you’ll find our predictions for upcoming trends and ways to absorb these ideas and make them your own. Guests will be delighted to see that you’ve taken inspiration from across the globe and infused them into your décor, fashion, and overall ambiance.
2022 was the first year that we saw fashion runways back in full action and designers delivered. One particular look that we consistently saw throughout the catwalks was leather and vegan leather in all forms. Oversized coats, thigh-high boots, jumpsuits — you name it. Celebrities like Bella Hadid and Kylie Jenner are loving this look with skin-tight head-to-toe looks or rocking a biker flair with leather jackets and chunky boots. Black is the most popular hue for this material, but we love to see tones like lavender, camel or off-white. Make a dramatic wedding exit with a fringe leather coat or use leather napkin rings for your tabletop. Maybe you’ll even see leather bridal gowns in the coming years! The possibilities with this material are exciting and endless.
Leather is no stranger to interior design, either. You’ll see this versatile material introduced in unique ways as kitchen cabinet pulls, wall coverings, throw pillows, and more. Leather is timeless and adds a discerning aesthetic to any room in your home.
More than ever, we’re seeing emerging trends surface from social platforms like TikTok. Over the past year, we’ve seen a heavy presence of what is being termed “Dark Academia” in both fashions and in the home. Picture a wood-burning fireplace, floor-to-ceiling leather-bound books, antique finishings, and sophisticated furnishings. The days of modern farmhouse are fading away and we are seeing moody tones and dramatic décor take center stage.
In 2023, homes are becoming artful displays of individuality. Cookie-cutter color palettes to appease the masses are on the way out and off-beat touches are in. Darker tones like onyx or a deep forest green create a rich sophistication and pair beautifully with textured vases, above, and pieces of art you may have collected on your travels. Finding ways to showcase your personal interests and curating a space that feels authentic to you is what matters.
Both leather and unconventional colors evoke a feeling of luxury and implementing them into your wedding is an unexpected twist your guests will love. Layer these elements into your fashions, like a black wedding dress, or into your centerpieces and signage and you’ll be right on trend for 2023.
