The wedding industry continues to change as society changes, reflecting what’s in vogue and what we consider important. Trends tend to global but some regions catch on sooner than others. For example Australians are at the forefront of wedding design and decor and then it sort of spreads to the rest of the world - makes sense as they are in the future anyways haha! (GMT +11 hours). Canada often been last! There’s a saying that Canadian are 5 years behind every wedding trend. Although, I see that slowly changing.

We are seeing couples embrace modern touches, infusing their personalities in their big day through decor choices, personalized vows and doing away with outdated traditions like wedding party reception seating and cake cutting are no longer standard practice. Couples are all about good vibes and having fun with their friends and families.

For 2024 and perhaps 2025, design and stying is heavily focused on creating memorable experiences for attendees. Here at Sokari Weddings, our passion is to provide on brand, on trend rental pieces for all your events, weddings and special celebrations alike.

Champagne Tower

Champagne Towers have made a comeback in 2023 and we are definitely seeing more of it in 2024! Couples are skipping cake cutting and instead pouring champagne to toast to their union. It is modern and gives sophisticated vibes. It’s fun and interactive, instantly upgrading a minimalist wedding and can be incorporated into cultural weddings as well. The beauty about champagne towers are that they are highly customizable, as little as a few glasses to a huge pyramid of glasses.

Thinking about having one at your wedding? Check out our champagne tower rental right here in Edmonton! Click here!

Chic Curves & Arches

There’s something aesthetically pleasing about curves. Throughout architecture, curved buildings and structures, have always looked stylish, evoking feelings of sophistication and beauty. Wedding design and styling have seen an increase in the use of arches for backdrop design, signage and more. Covered in florals, arches create the perfect backdrop for any event.

Clear (Transparent) Wedding Decor

Clear decor or “Ghost” as we like to call it here at Sokari Weddings, are getting more popular. They give couples the freedom to add colours to their design because you are not worried about clashing elements. For couples going for minimalist design, this is perfect for you! On the perfect sunny day, florals on clear arches look like they are floating in the air….just breathtaking!

Check out our extensive clear decor inventory. From clear arches to plinths rentals.

Audio Guest Books

One trend that has gained popularity is Audio guest books. It provides interactive entertainment for your guests which is always fun! Couples are able to get a recording of all the messages left by their guests. It provides a memorable keepsake couples can enjoy over and over again throughout the following years!

We have some accessories to complement design for your audio guest book seating area.

Black & White Palettes

The ultimate minimalist wedding decor styling is the black & white palettes. This timeless design will always remain relevant and chic. Silver or gold is often used to complement black & white wedding designs, but if you want to go even further, try adding silver mirror decor elements. It is sure to elevate your wedding styling to a whole new level!

We love how local wedding planner Sandra Bettina Weddings, styled this wedding.

Statement Signage

Couples are steering away from traditional seating charts, and rather giving their guests an immersive and interactive experience. Weddings are no longer boring events, couples are prioritizing guest experiences. If COVID-19 taught us anything, it is that experiences matter, celebrating milestones matter, and couples are making their big day fun for their loved ones.

Welcome signage as well as seating charts often set the tone your event because this is what guests see before entering the venue. Make it a memorable one using our signage rental inventory.

Simple Bouquets

For the minimalist or modern bride, simple bouquets are what’s in. A couple roses, orchids, lilies are all that’s needed for that elevated luxe look. We offer premium silk floral bouquets. Shoot us an email to inquire.

Sustainability

Couples are embracing eco-trends from sourcing locally, working with eco-friendly companies that source their items locally, renting wedding rather than buying or DIY and reducing waste. As an Edmonton party and wedding rental company, we can help you achieve your sustainability goal for your event.
