Saciva Events is not just an event organizing and planning company, but also one is always in vogue. The young and informed team members ensure the most possible options are available for the bride and groom, to fulfil their dreams of a perfect wedding. Let us take a look at some of the latest trends the team has noticed in recent times:

WHAT’S IN

• Themed Parties

With more and more people getting double vaccinations, there has been a rise in the request for themed wedding parties in recent times. Rehearsal dinners, welcome parties and other wedding events are all about fun, with themes that are all about fun and humour and whimsy: the circus, outdoor bonfires in the woods and masquerades with a point of view, to name some. 

• Silver Touches and Wallpaper Accents

Silver seems to be the colour on everyone’s mind, as it has the ability to add some old-world charm to any modern space. Wallpaper accent walls are also becoming increasingly popular among young brides and grooms. Be it the grand entrance backdrop or the scene behind the band, these are the perfect places to bring in your signature wedding colours.

• Serious Wedding Guest Style

Your weddings are not just your day to shine, but as per a recently developing trend, there is more emphasis put on how the wedding guests dress up – some of them pulling out all the stops to look dashing at your wedding!

• Virtual Save-the-Dates

Since the pandemic hit, most of the world’s operations now happen virtually – now wedding planning has also moved virtually with the new virtual save-the-dates. In order to avoid spending a large amount of money on custom stationery, printing and mailing, the Virtual options seem a lot simpler and more convenient. There is instant gratification in sending the save-the-date and getting responses right away. Also, being able to start communicating messages about the details of the wedding weekend virtually has been very appealing to today’s brides and grooms. With many of our friends and family getting dispersed during the pandemic, planners are increasingly encouraging their clients to go the virtual route for saving the dates and invites. Going virtual not only our couples to saves money, but it eliminates the stress of snail mail never getting to guests on time and allows for last-minute changes and is sustainable. 

• Open Air Tents

In 2022, the pandemic is still going to be an issue with crowds collecting in closed areas making people uncomfortable. To accommodate such concerns, weddings are being planned more and more in open-air tents that help people breathe easier.

• Speciality Bars and Hanging Florals

Physical bars are back in demand after a couple of years of virtual satellite bars – with tequila bars proving to be a crowd favourite! In fact, there has also been a huge demand for hanging florals and also large floral installations where they are suspended above tables or even move from floor to ceiling along the full length of the table.

• The Long Wedding Weekend

Clients these days want to stretch their wedding weekend out with different kinds of events throughout three to four days, from a large welcome party, a rehearsal dinner, and something active to do during the day, whether it’s a red robin tennis tournament or a group hike/walk/run, all sprinkled into the long wedding weekend. And why not end your wedding weekend with a ‘detox to retox’ event or a day party to send your guests off?

What’s Out

• Family Style Meals

“Goodbye, family-style dinner service! Leave this sloppy casual supper for summer BBQs. Clients want formality, ritual and elegance…and lots of room on the table for flowers.

• Multiple Toasts at the Reception 

Toasting happens the night before or for the smaller group at the rehearsal dinner. At receptions, brides are saying, ‘Let’s dance!’ and dispensing with long, formal dinners. Getting the speeches done the night before (except for the groom, best man, and father of the bride) turns the reception into a dinner party, letting the guests get onto the dance floor much earlier in the night.

• Monogrammed Dance Floors

We’ll always love a monogram, but the statement dance floor monogram we can leave with the trends of the 2010s. If branding the dance floor is for you, think further with artistic touches and graphics to create a statement, pattern, or colour that represents your overall wedding style and personality.

• Muted Colour Schemes

We’re seeing less white/ivory/green this upcoming year as couples gear up for a vibrant 2022. As lovely as white is, couples want to pick a colour and go for it. As the saying goes, go big or go home!

• Overly Packed Welcome Bags

As we all try to be more sustainably conscious, couples are now offering a simple yet thoughtful treat or gift for guests to enjoy, perhaps a nod to the wedding location. This also means less ‘stuff’ for guests to travel home with.

Whatever the requirement of the bride and groom, the dynamic Saciva Events team makes sure to deliver! Be it in terms of the latest decors, the most often offered cocktails or the photography – the vendors provide options aplenty for all your budgetary constraints!
