The wedding industry is just one of the many industries that has been shaken up during the pandemic. From single-digit guest lists to
outdoor venues to innovative favours (read: masks), wedding planning has stepped up to the task in big and small ways. According to
the authors of
The New Wedding Book, Michelle Bilodeau and Karen Cleveland, it’s about time soon-to-be weds start saying “I do” their way. “A trend that I’m
particularly excited for is around broadening the lens on weddings,” says Cleveland. “I’m loving representation of different cultures
being mashed up and couples really finding their own footing, as opposed to following the scripts, so to speak, of the White Western
wedding.” Here’s how to make the most of your nuptials and embrace 2021’s top wedding trends.
