Hey y’all and welcome back to the blog! I wanted to take a second to reintroduce myself. My name is Sara and I am the Sales Manager here at SOHO Event Rentals! This week we are discussing some wedding trends that I feel like we will see in 2021! While every couple and every wedding is different, there are some details that are increasingly popular for this year.
Unexpected Colors and Patterns
As we head into this new year, I feel like unexpected colors and the use of patterns will be a trend we see in 2021. Over the past few years, neutral colors and tones have been popular, but I foresee a turn toward brighter colors and fun patterns that mirror the joy and happiness of a couples wedding day. Some of this can be inspired by one of the pantone colors of the year, Illuminating yellow. These colors can be incorporated into numerous wedding details, including; rentals, linens, florals, stationary, food and more.
Tented Events
With obstacles still posed by Covid-19, couples may continue to prefer outdoor spaces to allow for safe gatherings of their loved ones. Because of this, we expect a surge in interest in tent rentals. At SOHO we carry so many beautiful tents that will create a beautiful defined space for your wedding while remaining open and airy. In addition to the tent itself, I expect an increase in tent accessories, including; flooring, lighting, and draping. These accessories will contribute an intentional design aesthetic contributing to the beautiful design.

Another obstacle of the Covid-19 Pandemic was the need to eliminate self service meals such as buffets. Couples got creative in terms of meal service because of this and I feel we will continue to see this trend in 2021. I have loved seeing creative food displays that make individual servings both unique and fun. Miniature cakes or individual cheese boards are a fun way to still make a statement with your meal. I also love anything that is premade in a single serving container; individual shrimp cocktail, tacos, individual charcuterie boards and more. The creative options are endless.

Non Traditional days of the week
The combination of rescheduled weddings and new booking for 2021 has meant that Saturday dates book up quickly. Because of this, couples are turning to less traditional dates to celebrate their nuptials. I predict we will see an increase in Friday and Sunday weddings throughout 2021. I also feel we may see an increase in weddings being held earlier, such as brunch weddings.
I hope you’ve enjoyed reading about some of my favorite trends.
Til next time.
Cheers!
