17 Unforgettable Wedding Trends to Wow Your Guests in 2019

"Anthurium is the next It flower for boho weddings." — Euri Wong, lead designer at Bloominous

"Triangular arches (structures) are gaining as much momentum as much as their circular cousin." — Euri Wong, lead designer at Bloominous

"Black is the new black. If it is an indoor affair and after 6 p.m., I think we are going to see a resurgence of the black suit and tux. It pairs well with any color creating timeless pictures, it is slimming, and the suit can easily be dressed down for the dance floor." — Nathan Bellah, director of marketing at Generation Tux

"Stop looking around, and make him your something blue. Yes, coral and dusty rose are classy calls, but I have a feeling that shades of blue are going to keep things nice and cool for the Summer heat." — Nathan Bellah, director of marketing at Generation Tux

"The norm is dead. Be you, and let your wedding match. I definitely see this as a year for brides and grooms to let their personalities shine. Now more than ever, there are options for grooms to customize their looks. Gray with a touch of anything is sure to complement that wedding gown." — Nathan Bellah, director of marketing at Generation Tux

"In 2019, we predict the classic and timeless solitaire engagement ring to gain popularity . . . but with a 'twist.' Adding just a little flair to a solitaire can really give it the extra wow factor! This solitaire with a twist keeps the ring timeless but gives it more dimension, and in turn, a little extra sparkle, taking a ring so many have and making it more unique and eye-catching. You can add a little twist to your solitaire in so many different ways, choosing yellow gold or rose gold, adding a milgrain detail to the band, or like this ring here, with a literal twist! What is important in the solitaire is keeping the center diamond as the focal point. But explore — make your solitaire unique and special to you." — Kaeleigh Testwuide of The Diamond Reserve

"When it comes to engagement rings and weddings bands, less metal is more! Single shared prong diamond settings allows for just that, which means all diamonds. What so many love about single shared prong diamond settings is the illusion of the diamonds floating, as there is barely any metal visible from the top viewpoint of the ring. This style can be done with many different shaped diamonds and sizes. Having single shared prong diamonds in you setting or your wedding band will give it a timeless yet unique look." — Kaeleigh Testwuide of The Diamond Reserve

"All the talk about Princess Eugenie's stunning and rare pink padparadscha sapphire engagement ring is sure to boost confidence in choosing an alternative center stone for an engagement ring! Choosing a sapphire, topaz, opalescent, or gray rose-cut diamond can allow for a unique look that will separate you from the rest." — Kaeleigh Testwuide of The Diamond Reserve

"Environmentally friendly brides looking for sustainable alternatives to their big day are buying their designer dress preowned and up to 80 percent cheaper." — Bruno Szajer, cofounder of Still White

"We think this will be perfect for the fashion-forward bride! Fancy colored lab-grown diamonds — in colors such as pink, blue, yellow, and gray — represent an opportunity for exceptional savings compared to natural fancy-colored diamonds, which often sell for millions of dollars at auction." — Kelly Villarreal of Ada Diamonds

"Wedding signage has been trending for a few years now, but up until this point, we've seen mostly wooden signs, elegant framed signs, or hand-calligraphed mirrors. This year, it's all about electrifying the typical wedding decor — and what better way to do that than with neon signs? Couples are giving new meaning to the term 'lit' by literally putting their names (and other messages) up in lights. Whether it's a 'crazy in love' illumination behind your sweetheart table or a simple monogram, these neon signs are amping up the 2019 wedding scene." — Jenna Miller, creative director at Here Comes the Guide

"Flowers aren't the only means of injecting color into a wedding! This year, greenery abounds, while bold prints on both the table linens and wedding backdrops give a festival vibe to the reception. Tablescapes, including colorfully patterned linens and bright napkins, are the perfect way to punch up the look of any event space. Plus, couples are gravitating toward statement-making modern art (making gallery wedding venues a popular choice) and even vibrant murals as the background for their ceremony — or just a few wedding photos." — Jenna Miller, creative director at Here Comes the Guide

"Perhaps our favorite way of injecting a rainbow of color into your nuptials is with smoke bombs. You may have seen these eye-catching photos all over Instagram — and there's no sign of these smoke signals stopping any time soon! Besides using them as a cool addition to photos, couples can also consider using them to accent their outdoor ceremony recessional. Just think: your first kiss as newlyweds, a burst of beautiful colors, and the most extra walk back down the aisle of all time. We're here for it!" — Jenna Miller, creative director at Here Comes the Guide

"Speaking of wedding ceremonies, 2019 will continue to bring the eye candy in the form of statement-making ceremony arches. Couples can keep the color party going with custom backdrops in various patterns, textures, and hues. Because there's no better way to frame your I dos than — say it with us — in living color." — Jenna Miller, creative director at Here Comes the Guide
