The trend:
This trend embraces free-spirited vibes, organic textures, and eclectic elements to create a relaxed and whimsical atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from nature, global cultures, and artistic expression, Bohemian Chic celebrates individuality, creativity, and a sense of adventure. It features vibrant colours, layered textiles, natural materials, and an abundance of greenery, flowers, and foliage.
Behind the trend:
Couples are drawn to the authenticity and personalisation offered by a bohemian vibe, which allows them to express their unique personalities and eclectic tastes in a non-traditional way. The laid-back and carefree atmosphere of this trend also fosters a sense of joy, spontaneity, and intimacy, creating memorable and meaningful experiences for couples and their guests.
What it means for creators:
Start with nature-inspired fragrances elevated by bold and bright colour schemes and natural vessels. For diffusers, we recommend rattan and flower-shaped reeds. In candles, explore wax melt embeds and crystals to add texture, patterns, and eye-catching elements.

The trend:
Vintage Revival themed settings transport couples and guests back in time, celebrating the elegance, romance, and nostalgia of bygone eras.

Period-specific details are incorporated to create a timeless and romantic ambience.
Behind the trend:
Incorporating vintage elements allows couples to infuse their weddings with personal history and sentimental touches, honouring family traditions, heirlooms, and cherished memories. Couples are also drawn to the nostalgic charm and timeless elegance of vintage decor, which evokes memories of a simpler time and celebrates the beauty of the past.
