Luxury Wiltshire hotel Bowood reveals a wedding showcase on Sunday the 18th of February and unveils 2024 wedding trends.
Bowood Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort is the perfect backdrop for a wedding ceremony and reception. On Sunday the 18th of February, couples will be invited to see the function room dressed for a wedding day and meet with the team and suppliers to discuss their ideas.
From 10:30 am until 2:30 pm, the Kerry Suite will be transformed into a wedding wonderland, with dedicated appointments available with the hotel's wedding coordinators to discuss dream wedding plans with the latest trends on show from trusted and preferred suppliers.
Couples stuck for ideas or want to know what the biggest trends for the 2024 wedding season will be, Ellen Ford - the wedding coordinator at the hotel has given her expert predictions, and visitors can find her on the day-to-discuss more.
Barbie is back!
It will come as no surprise with how massive the Barbie movie has been this year that Barbie pink is back and anticipated to be massive in weddings in 2024, from touches of pink in the dress, jewellery, and shoes, to bright pink florals and décor.
Savvy wedding budgets
Couples want to get more from their wedding budget and are being much stricter with their invite lists, cutting out relatives that they haven't seen for years and even choosing to invite guests to the evening instead of the day.
DIY décor
Couples are thinking about what is most important to them on their special day, and we are also seeing the return of more DIY wedding décor helped by creative family and friends.
Celebrant-led ceremonies
Legal registrar-lead ceremonies will always be around for obvious reasons, but we are seeing a rise in blessings and celebrant-lead ceremonies, and the great thing is that couples can make it their own, with personal touches and completely out their ideas. Couples are finding new ways to make weddings more personal and unique; this is certainly a great way to do that.
