Weddings in 2018 are all about creating unique, authentic experiences that do away with some of the glam and opulence, in favour of more intimate, meaningful celebrations. Here’s a look at the top trends in 2018 – and how to pull them off.

Less is more

There’s no escaping the fact that weddings are an enormous expense. And an increasing number of couples are questioning the need for massive guest lists and exorbitant venues that cost more than a sizable down payment on a new home.

2018 is the year of the smaller, more personal, at-home or close-to-home celebrations. It’s all about the couple and the people who are closest to them getting together in a setting that’s reflective of the couple’s style and personalities.

Small and sentimental

Many couples are doing away with the ‘sameness’ of standard venues where weddings are only differentiated by their colour palettes. There’s a move toward the unconventional – with the goal of creating a memorable, one-of-a-kind event.

Top trends include garden party style weddings and pop-up marquees in smaller locations that have sentimental value. Think picnic tables, craft beers, open air tents and glass marquees with string lighting and natural greenery. It’s about celebrating the chosen location rather than trying to turn it into something it isn’t.

Don’t forget the essentials

Foregoing the established venues can help save a lot of money, but it also comes with its own challenges. Even hosting a small wedding of 30-50 guests at a family home or backyard requires a fair amount of planning and logistics.

While unconventional, unestablished venues may be very ‘in’ – not having enough ablutions for your guests is always out. Luckily there’s a considerable range of different options of porta loos for your wedding that can provide all the necessities and comfort your guests need to fully enjoy the experience you create for them.

Porta loos are the perfect solution to transform any home or off-the-beaten track location into a wedding-ready venue. Are you planning a wedding soon? Talk to our team about the right solution for your choice of venue (or backyard).
