Classic wedding details are getting a dreamy modern update in 2026, with traditions reimagined in ways that feel fresh, personal, and unforgettable. From fashion moments that turn heads to styling touches that transform the atmosphere, these are the wedding trends we can’t stop loving – and we have a feeling you will be too.
Vintage Chic Styling
Heirloom-inspired styling is on the rise, with couples choosing details that carry character and timeless charm. Think antique cutlery, pressed-lace linens, velvet ring boxes, and crystal glassware. Vintage chic is less about recreating the past and more about layering history and elegance, giving your wedding a look that feels rich in story and personal meaning.
Veils, Hoods & Headscarfs
Veils are back in a big way – and they’ve brought friends. Think dreamy hoods, chic headscarfs, and dramatic drapes that feel equal parts vintage romance and runway moment. It’s all about turning a classic bridal accessory into the ultimate statement piece.
Confetti Moments
A “just married” confetti toss will always be iconic (and honestly essential, if you ask us), but couples are finding new ways to make confetti part of the celebration. Imagine Confetti Cannons going off as you enter your reception, guests showering you in petals during your first dance, or a dreamy twilight photo shoot with confetti at dusk. More than just a pretty detail, confetti gets everyone involved, fills your photos with joy, and creates wedding-day memories you’ll never forget.
Tablescape Lighting
Nothing transforms a reception quite like lighting. Sweet table lamps, flickering candles, and soft, glowy details are replacing traditional centrepieces for a look that feels intimate and romantic. The right tablescape lighting creates ambience, sparks connection, and makes every shared meal feel like the dreamiest celebration.
Corsets, Drop Waists & Lace
When it comes to fashion, classic bridal fabrics and silhouettes are trending in a big way. Corseted bodices, drop-waist gowns, and vintage-inspired lace are flattering and feminine, while still feeling modern. It’s giving romance, glamour, and a touch of vintage drama – basically everything we want in a wedding dress.
Off-Table Florals
Florals are moving beyond the tablescape. Instead of filling the centre, couples are opting for bold floral installations surrounding the table – think ground meadows, statement arrangements, and floral frames. This trend is both practical (especially if you’re serving shared plates) and gorgeous, transforming your dining space into an immersive floral experience.
✨ Whether you’re drawn to nostalgic accessories, romantic lighting, or bold floral styling, these wedding trends prove that 2026 is all about elevating tradition in beautiful new ways.
