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

"Outdoor weddings are becoming increasingly popular due to COVID-19 restrictions on indoor events. With microweddings on the rise, couples want to make their guests feel at home.

We project a lot of outdoor weddings will be less formal in nature." — Racquel Guyton, principal designer and planner, St. Germain Design & Co.
