Veil Alternatives
Traditional veils are a timelessly chic choice. But it appears that today’s modern brides are looking for a more unique headpiece—like feather and floral toppers, turbans, bowler hats and even oversize bows. (Very fashun.)

‘90s Style
The decade has enjoyed a renaissance across decor and fashion over the past few seasons—now weddings have joined in on the fun. Etsy has seen a huge uptick in ‘90s-reminiscent decor additions like iridescent paper goods and disco ball serveware, and in Paris Hilton-approved fashion decisions like rhinestone-encrusted garters and even—wait for it—butterfly hair clips.

Sustainable Celebrations
Three cheers for eco-conscious nuptials! Vintage and/or upcycled decor and biodegradable sourcing choices like reusable straws, bamboo tableware, seed paper paper goods and floral confetti are all surging in popularity this season.
