Couples Are Tossing Out the Wedding Playbook in 2021 — Here Are the Trends to Watch

"A reliance on technology and virtual services throughout wedding planning is here to stay, from online consultations with wedding vendors and 360-degree virtual venue tours to at-home try-on services from local bridal salons. When it comes to the incorporation of virtual services at the actual wedding celebrations, most couples and wedding guests will want to celebrate in-person together when it's safe to do so. However, couples may opt for virtual elements to involve guests who are unable to attend the celebrations in-person, for example elderly family members, so we don't anticipate them going anywhere anytime soon." — Kristen Maxwell Cooper, editor in chief, The Knot
