Weddings abroad in an arbitrary destination: A dazzling dream or a dazzling risk

The idea of a destination wedding with no real connection to the couple may seem to offer an aura of mystery and an opportunity to surprise your guests. Nothing could be more natural for a couple than to want to organise a unique wedding that will leave a lasting impression. However, this attractive idea is often confronted with less attractive realities. Many clients now prefer to avoid celebrating their union in a venue that holds no sentimental value for them.

Guest gifts

Welcome bags, although generous, often tend to be left behind. Guests who are already loaded down with luggage don't always want to take extra items home with them. Brides and grooms are now opting to give their guests gifts that can be consumed during their stay, such as a box of chocolates, elegantly wrapped and personalised with a thank-you note.

Dress codes that are too strict

Eveningwear is timeless! But weddings are entering a new fashion era. From vintage pieces to bold patterns and pretty mixes of chic and casual, guests are encouraged to create their own look based on ideas shared by the bride and groom. This more flexible approach not only makes guests feel more comfortable, it also creates a more dynamic and visual atmosphere, reflecting the personalities of the bride and groom and their loved ones.

The colour theme

Matching all the elements of your wedding, from the bridesmaids' dresses to the table decorations, has become outdated. We prefer to play with textures. Dare to use prints and showcase handicrafts. Think outside the box so that your wedding tells a story and becomes a true expression of your unique love. From now on, the perfectly imperfect! In short, forget magazine weddings and remember: the height of chic is not to overdo it.

Buttonholes

I'm happy to say that buttonholes are giving way to suit pockets. I love this trend, because buttonholes never look good at the end of the evening.

Monochrome colour palettes

Monochrome weddings are no longer in vogue. Of course, white tablecloths remain timeless, but this year white and ivory drapes have taken the wedding world by storm. We're finding that our customers want to add a touch of whimsy by using unexpected colour combinations or applying graphic or floral motifs to the floor and tablecloth.

Photo terminals

Brides and grooms are opting for unique ways to capture memories of their guests. Many couples choose an illustrator to paint or draw personalised portraits of guests. These options offer a new artistic perspective on traditional event photography.

Too much plastic waste

Couples are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their wedding and now celebrate their love by making sure to reduce the indelible ecological footprint. Don't buy too many unnecessary items that guests throw away. The bride and groom are making less and less use of plastic accessories and glow sticks. This conscious approach reflects an environmental commitment that means a lot to this generation of future brides and grooms.

Themes that are too strict

Today's weddings are evolving towards an elegant, timeless approach that is gradually replacing overly concrete themes. Couples are focusing more on atmosphere and artistry to create a wedding that is both chic and timeless, rather than obeying a theme that leaves little freedom.

Programmes to be followed to the letter

The first dance, the cutting of the cake, the tossing of the bridal bouquet... These are traditions, of course, but they don't have to become chores. The secret of memorable wedding celebrations lies in spontaneity and authenticity. Rather than following a rigid programme, let the atmosphere dictate the rhythm of your wedding. Innovate so that everything flows naturally and the D-Day is dictated by the atmosphere, not the other way round.
