💍 Well, Ring-a-Ding-Ding, It’s Wedding Time!
Presented with Cherry Pop Sass & Style
Hello, darling dolls and dashing grooms! Here at Cherry Pop Events, we know a thing or two about throwing a wedding that’ll make your guests swoon and your Aunt Betty clutch her pearls. We’ve polished up our crystal ball (and maybe a martini glass or two), peeked into the fabulous future, and voilà! These are the Top 10 Wedding Trends for 2026 that’ll have your big day going off like a firecracker on the Fourth of July.
1. 🎨 Color Comeback: Bold, Moody & Unexpected
Blush and beige? Honey, those are so last season. 2026 is painting the town in moody burgundies, deep teals, chartreuse, and burnt orange. The color palette is giving vintage glam with a modern pop. Pair with gold accents for that Hollywood Regency flair.
2. 💡 Maximalism is Back, Baby!
Minimalism? Not on our watch. 2026 brides are embracing the more is more motto. Think layered textures, lush floral installations, oversized bows, and patterned linens. It’s a feast for the senses, sugar!
Sassy Tip: Florals hanging from chandeliers? Yes, please!
3. 🏕️ “Glamper” Weddings
Backyard weddings just got a glow-up! Think vintage Airstreams, fairy lights, fire pits, and fancy s’mores. Cozy meets classy in these camp-meets-cocktail celebrations.

4. 🍰 Dessert Bars Over Traditional Cakes
Tiered cakes are cute, but 2026 is serving dessert bars that’ll knock your garter off. Think pie flights, mini milkshakes, donut walls, and French macaron towers. We’re in sweet heaven.

5. 🪩 Retro Dance Floors & Live Vinyl DJs
Put on your dancin’ shoes, doll! Couples are bringing back checkered dance floors and vinyl-spinning DJs. It’s a sock-hop soirée with a splash of Studio 54.
Recommended Vibes: Live ‘50s cover bands or a retro mix from a DJ with a record spinner.
6. 🎭 Themed Attire & Costume Hours
Guests aren’t just attending—they’re part of the show. Themed receptions (think: masquerade, Old Hollywood, garden fairytale) are encouraging guests to glam up and play along.

7. ✨ Intimate Guest Lists, Luxe Experiences
Smaller guest lists, bigger impact. With fewer mouths to feed, couples are opting for indulgent experiences—think wine pairings, private chefs, and luxury welcome bags.
Stats Show: Smaller weddings are 34% more likely to invest in upscale experiences.

8. 🌿 Sustainable is the New Chic
From florals repurposed after the big day to vintage rentals and locally-sourced cuisine, going green has never looked so good. It’s elegant and eco-conscious.

9. 📱 Techy Touches (Without Losing the Magic)
QR codes for seating charts? Digital guestbooks with audio messages? Oh honey, even grandma’s impressed. Tech is being blended seamlessly into the day without stealing the spotlight.

10. 🕊️ Legacy Tributes & “Something Sentimental”
Couples are honoring loved ones past and present in meaningful ways—be it heirloom jewelry, memory tables, or handwritten notes to every guest. Tearjerkers, incoming!
Sassy Reminder: Don’t forget the waterproof mascara, sugar.
