Colour Clash
Prepare to embrace the rainbow with punchy colour palettes leading the way for 2023/24 weddings. In particular, we’re seeing couples opt for fun, clashing colour schemes made up of tangerine orange, sunshine yellow, pillarbox red and brilliant Barbie pink, but with this trend, pretty much any hue goes! Adding texture enhances the look, making it pop all the more with structural florals, trailing tassels, patterned fabrics and bubblegum-like balloons! Pantone’s colour of the year Viva Magenta, lends itself effortlessly to this wedding decor theme, as do shiny metallics, particularly for those wanting to up the luxe!

Top LLTW product pick: Available in every colour of the rainbow (and magical metallic tones!), it’s got to be our awesome Bangs. These trailing streamers bring instant impact and tick the ‘texture’ box too!
Lighting…But Make It Art
Lighting is increasingly being used in weddings to create breath-taking, personality-reflecting statements, which just so happens to be a speciality of ours! It’s all about cool, beautiful or unique fixtures being installed in an artistic way to totally transform a space or create a can’t-take-your-eyes-off-it focal point. Think an illuminated ceremony backdrop, a twinkling wedding breakfast set-up, or a dazzling display to light up the dancefloor come evening. Our epic wedding lighting range includes everything from edgy Edison bulb backdrops and captivating festoons and fairy lights through to on-trend neons, so if anyone can ace this trend, it’s us!

Top LLTW product pick: Have you seen our incredibly swoon-worthy Fairylight Tunnels? Creating a show-stopping entrance or a wonderfully unique canopy for you and your guests to dine beneath during the reception, this is light art at its finest!
Statement Ceilings
Look up! Glorious suspended installations for weddings have fast been growing in popularity and don’t show signs of wavering anytime soon. From hanging floral arrangements and dreamy fabric-swathed ceilings to paper lanterns, runs of ribbons and roofspaces filled with balloons, the options for impactful overhead decor really are endless.

Top LLTW product pick: Let us loose on your wedding venue ceiling space, and we’ll raise the roof with our head-turning party-streamer-like Bangs interspersed with glittering disco ball props.
Getting Personal
In our eyes, injecting personal elements into a wedding is less of a trend and more of a must! It’s how the occasion is transformed from a generic, formality-driven event to a carefully considered and truly memorable celebration. Extra special touches and keen attention to detail are effective ways to weave in personality, so the day aligns perfectly with those saying the “I dos”. Such elements can range from subtle, like custom monogrammed wedding stationery, to bolder statements, say, like…having your surname up in lights dancefloor-side (another speciality of ours!).

Top LLTW product pick: Nothing quite says personal like our bespoke neon wedding signs, which can be specially created to spell out a surname or sentimental slogan. And once it’s shone brightly on your big day, you get to take it home and treasure it always!
More Is More
Enter full-on maximalism! Perhaps our favourite 2023/24 wedding decor trend, this one sees the ‘rule book’ thrown clean out the window! A look usually reserved for evening celebrations, the aim is to create OTT after-party vibes with loud, lavish decor and props, club-like lighting and super cool entertainment. Not one for the faint-hearted or steadfast traditionalists, you’ll want to adopt a ‘more-is-more’ mentality and let your imagination run wild to bring a riot of decor delights to the celebration scene!

Display Array
Framing special moments of a wedding is essential in more ways than one. Regarding styling, it’s about using decor to create focal points that will draw attention to and elevate key elements of the day. And how is this achieved? Through beautiful backdrops and dazzling displays featuring everything from frames, wedding lighting and florals to head-turning balloons and streamers. These are often requested by couples as focal points for the ceremony, behind the top table, or to create a cool photo opportunity at the evening party. But we’re now noticing the frame game being increasingly extended to other highlight-worthy wedding hotspots like the cake, cocktail bar, guestbook and gift area.
