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

"This is what keeps traditions going. Although Gen Y and Gen Z are making their own rules right now, it's the little things like wearing your mother's veil or wearing jewelry or incorporating colors. This keeps the meaning and tradition alive. Memorials are a big part of nostalgia. Unfortunately COVID-19 has taken a lot of parents and grandparents from couples who are set to wed. Adding picture lockets to bouquets or memory tables will be a definite thing going forward." — Racquel Guyton, principal designer and planner, St. Germain Design & Co.
