2026 Wedding Trends: What Couples Are Loving (and What We’d Love to See More Of)
As couples start planning their 2026 weddings, one thing is clear: celebrations are becoming more intentional, more personal, and more food-focused than ever. From the way weekends are structured to what’s appearing on the menu, these are the wedding trends we’re seeing take centre stage next year - and how we’re bringing them to life.
Weddings That Go Beyond One Day
Saturday celebrations still reign supreme, but 2026 weddings are stretching beyond a single event. Recovery brunches are now a must-have, giving couples the chance to extend the experience, reconnect with guests, and enjoy a more relaxed moment together the morning after. Think great coffee, comforting food, and beautifully curated menus that feel indulgent without being overdone.
Food as a Talking Point
Food isn’t just part of the day anymore - it’s a highlight. Couples are increasingly keen to build menus that feel them, which is why in-depth food consultations during the planning process are becoming essential. By honing in on flavours, memories, and seasonal produce, menus are more tailored, more thoughtful, and completely unique to each celebration. Food stations and sharing menus remain in demand, transforming dining into a shared experience that sparks conversation and connection.
What We’d Love to See More Of
Looking ahead, we’re excited by the move towards hyper-seasonal menus and elevated comfort food. Dishes that feel familiar but are executed beautifully, using the best ingredients at their peak. It’s all about food that feels generous, satisfying, and perfectly suited to the time of year.
Styling & Aesthetic Shifts
Neutral colour palettes continue to dominate, often inspired by the Colour of the Year, creating timeless backdrops that let food, florals, and styling shine. One noticeable shift? Gold accents are taking a step back, making way for silver and chrome, which feel fresher, cleaner, and more contemporary for 2026.
If you’re planning a 2026 wedding and want your food to be as memorable as every other detail, we’d love to help shape something truly personal - inspired by what you love, what’s in season, and what will keep guests talking long after the last dance.
