DIY Wedding Ideas for the 2024 Chicago Bride...And Beyond!



Modern couples are all about personalization, individuality, and breaking away from tradition (Yay!). Here are the top trends you need to know and some suggestions on how to make your wedding uniquely you!


Be Uniquely You: Forget cookie-cutter weddings! Couples are ditching the rules and infusing their special day with personal touches that reflect their love story and personalities. What do you love? There are tons of ways to incorporate you in a wedding because let's be honest - there is a vendor for that. Coffee Bar, Boba Station, Record Store theme welcome table - insert you into your party!


Retro Revival: It's time to bring back the retro vibes! Think throwback elements like vintage cameras, vinyl DJs, and film photography. Retro is the new cool, adding a fun and nostalgic touch to weddings.


Small and Intimate: Intimate gatherings are in! Couples are opting for smaller guest lists to create a more relaxed, meaningful, and authentic experience. Depending on what venue you are choosing, this may lower the overall cost allowing you to save more for that honeymoon.


Fashion Forward: Brides are going bold with their fashion choices. Get ready to see colorful wedding dresses in pastel pinks, blues, and even black (*Gasp!*) Two-piece gowns and natural fabrics are also making a statement, and we have all seen those pre-reception hair chops on Instagram! The courage of these brides!


Non-Traditional Fun: Traditional weddings are taking a backseat. Couples are embracing non-traditional experiences, focusing on celebrating love with a laid-back and casual vibe. Family-style menus and unique dining experiences are on the rise. This is your sign that is okay to insert your personality into your wedding - this is your party!


High-Tech: Say hello to immersive digital experiences! Couples are incorporating innovative tech into their weddings, like digital guest books that capture heartfelt messages and memories. It's a modern way to relive the special day.



These trends are guaranteed to make your wedding unforgettable in 2024. Remember, it's your day, so don't be afraid to shake things up and make it uniquely yours. Happy planning and cheers to a wedding full of love, laughter, and memories!
