The Hottest Wedding Trends of 2024: Favors, Decor, and Gifts That WOW!
Ceremony Trends: Nostalgia Meets Whimsy
Retro-Inspired Welcome Signs
Set the tone for your big day with a Retro Wedding Welcome Sign that features customizable names and dates. It’s the perfect way to greet your guests and give them a taste of your wedding vibe. Bonus points if you incorporate a disco ball theme for a vintage-meets-modern twist, like this Arched Retro Welcome Sign that pairs beautifully with colorful florals and retro fonts.
Quirky Cake Toppers
Say goodbye to boring cake toppers! Couples are choosing toppers that reflect their personalities. Whether it’s a Shark Bride and Groom Cake Topper for the fun-loving duo or an adorable Lovebird Cake Topper, these tiny details make a big impact on your dessert table.
Vinyl Record Guest Books
One of my favorite trends? Turning your guest book into a keepsake that you’ll actually use. A Vinyl Record Guest Book lets guests leave heartfelt messages while tying in a retro aesthetic. Prefer something more traditional with a luxe touch? Opt for a Gold Foil Retro Wedding Guest Book for timeless elegance.
Reception Must-Haves: Let’s Party in Style
Disco Ball Decor and Place Cards
Disco fever is back, and I couldn’t be happier! Incorporate an 8-Inch Disco Ball into your decor to bring sparkle to your reception. Pair it with matching Disco Ball Place Cards, doubling as decor and seating arrangements. Your guests will love the fun, playful vibe!
Custom Signage with a Twist
Custom signage is having a moment, but couples are leaning into humor and creativity. A Hand-Drawn Welcome Sign adds a personal touch, while a playful Digital Sign Like “Get Giggy With It” makes for a memorable photo op.
Unique Favors and Shower Gifts
Personalized Matchbooks
Practical and chic, personalized matchbooks like these Vintage Matchbooks or Custom Wedding Matches are a fun way to send guests home with something memorable. Display them at your cigar bar or pair them with candles for a luxe vibe.

Say cheers to love with quirky gifts like the Silly Goose Juice Wine Glass or go classic with Engraved Champagne Flutes for the bridal party. These make for great favors or bridal shower gifts!
