1. Drip Cake
With an impressive 124,903 TikTok Hashtags, drip cakes have emerged as the latest breakout trend in wedding desserts. These cakes, adorned with glossy, colourful drips that cascade down the sides, combine elegance with a touch of playfulness, making them a perfect fit for the season's rich, warm colour palettes.
The true allure of drip cakes lies not just in their stunning appearance, but in their ability to be customised with seasonal flavours and textures, think spiced apple, salted caramel, or decadent chocolate ganache. Nestled in a winter wonderland theme, drip cakes are set to be a standout feature at celebrations this season.
2. Maximalist Wedding
Amassing 50,200 hashtags on TikTok, maximalist weddings are making a bold statement for winter 2024, embracing opulence, rich detail and lavish decor. In contrast to minimalist trends and pastel colour schemes, maximalist weddings focus on extravagant floral arrangements, vibrant colours, intricate table settings, and layered textures.
This trend is all about embracing "more is more" with decadent touches like lush velvet, gilded accents, and bold jewel tones such as deep burgundy, emerald green, and royal blue, perfectly suited to the cosy and festive atmosphere of the colder months.
3. Floral Nails
With 16,603 TikTok hashtags, floral nails are a delicate and artistic way to tie your bridal look to the natural beauty of the season. Whether you choose hand-painted blooms or tiny dried flowers embedded in your nails, this trend brings a fresh, romantic vibe to your manicure.
Whether opting for soft pastels, bold pops of colour, or wintery whites, floral nails add an elegant, nature-inspired detail that feels timeless and unique, perfect for your special day.
4. Black Wedding Dress
A black wedding dress is a bold and unforgettable statement, offering a fresh and unconventional twist on traditional bridal wear. For brides who want to break free from tradition and embrace something daring, black exudes confidence, sophistication, and a touch of drama.
This striking choice can create a stunning contrast against the backdrop of a white winter landscape, making your look truly stand out. Amassing over 15,931 hashtags on TikTok, a black wedding dress is perfectly suited to those who want their wedding day style to be as unique as their love story.
5. Bow Hairstyles
Bow hairstyles bring a sweet and whimsical touch to bridal looks, offering a perfect blend of timeless elegance and playful charm. Whether you choose a delicate ribbon woven into a loose braid or a bold, oversized bow placed atop a sleek updo, this trend adds a romantic and feminine detail to your wedding day style.
