6 Wedding Trends You’ll See Literally Everywhere in 2019

I’m not getting married anytime soon, but one of my favorite things to do when I’m really, really bored is plan the wedding I’ll one day, maybe, probably have. This usually involves some combination of losing myself in Pinterest rabbit holes, Googling dreamy wedding destinations and perusing lists of 2019 wedding trends. (Yup, 2019 wedding trends, because the new year is just around the corner, folks.)

Thankfully, Pinterest has made this venture easier than ever; the platform just released its annual Pinterest 100 report—a summation of 100 trends that await us in the new year. The report covers everything from fashion and home decor trends, to food and travel trends, to—you guessed it—event and wedding trends.

A handful of Pinterest’s 2019 event trends don’t really apply to weddings. “Mini moment celebrations,” “number cakes,” “moon gatherings” and “godparent proposals” aren’t really what a bride-to-be (or in my case, pretend bride-to-be) is looking for. Thankfully, Pinterest hit us with six stunning 2019 wedding trends that definitely apply to brides-to-be, grooms-to-be or anyone else (me) who’s interested in the whole wedding thing.

Some of the trends—namely, donut decor—have been in the bridal zeitgeist for a while. A couple—backyard weddings and flower garlands—are classics experiencing a kind of trendy revival. And a few—gold wedding gowns, smoke bomb photography and neon signs—are pretty damn new. The result? A wedding trend landscape that’s rich and varied—and one where any interested party can find a trend that works for them and their upcoming gathering.

Ahead, we give you the low-down on all six of these 2019 wedding trends—and hit you with the same data Pinterest shared with us.

4. Gold Wedding Gowns

This year, brides moved away from traditional wedding gown conventions—embracing champagne textiles and jumpsuit cuts. In 2019, it seems like they’ll sink even deeper into this willingness to think outside-the-box, as searches for “gold wedding gowns” are up 1,552 percent. (That’s a lot—and we’re totally here for it.)
