C<\/span>OVID-19 turned the wedding industry on its head last year, and, unfortunately, it will continue to affect couples in 2021. However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t tie the knot and have an awesome time doing it. We\u2019ve highlighted five trends below for 2021\u2019s wedding season that will keep you and your guests safe while ensuring you have a fantastic event. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Plated Meals<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While buffet catering is typically most popular for weddings as it is easy to set up and allows guests to choose what they want, in the COVID-19 era, plated meals are becoming more popular. Fewer hands on food and serving utensils is safer for everyone. Additionally, skip a candy or dessert bar in favor of prepackaged desserts and plated slices of cake. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Welcome Boxes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Another COVID-19 addition, couples are now providing guests with welcome boxes that contain 2021\u2019s essentials: hand sanitizer, masks, programs, etc. These personal boxes are more sanitary than communal sanitation stations or program baskets. Many couples are even including their favors in these boxes, as well. <\/span><\/p>\n

3. Yellow and Gray<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Pantone\u2019s Colors of the Year for 2021 are PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating<\/span><\/a> Is there anything more perfect for 2021? According to Pantone, \u201cA message of happiness supported by fortitude, the combination of PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating is aspirational and gives us hope. We need to feel that everything is going to get brighter \u2013 this is essential to the human spirit.\u201d Expect to see this pairing in many upcoming weddings as couples look to embrace a bright and cheery color palette. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Informal \u201cWed Now, Party Later\u201d Events<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With ever-changing rules on gatherings, 2021 couples are planning more intimate \u201cmicro-weddings\u201d of 25 guests or less with larger receptions down the road. For these ceremonies, brides often choose a simpler dress (or even a pantsuit!) and save the more ornate details for later. The overall mantra is that saying \u201cI Do\u201d is most important while the celebration can wait. <\/span><\/p>\n

5. Weekday Weddings<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Couples who postponed their weddings in 2021 have had to compete with those already scheduling for 2021. To be able to snag a desired venue or date, many are opting for weekday weddings. The costs associated with these dates are usually much cheaper, allowing couples to save for a potential \u201cparty later\u201d reception. And who doesn\u2019t want to skip out of the office for a mid-week wedding?!<\/span><\/p>\n
