Unexpected Wedding Trends Any Interior Design Lover Needs to See

Is your interior design obsession spilling over into your wedding planning? If houseplants, paint chips, and your quest for the perfect sofa currently rank higher than invitations, dresses, and bridal showers, you’re probably well on your way to crafting your perfect wedding already. With your eye for design, it’s easy to find unexpected wedding inspiration on shelter blogs (and you might just find that perfect sofa while you’re at it). Here are 11 unexpected wedding details that marry (yep, I went there) the world of interior design with weddings.

Acrylic, plexiglass, perspex, lucite—whatever you call it, transparent details are definitely having a moment in both home and wedding decor alike. In your home, think consoles, coffee tables, and trays, then translate that to invitations, seating cards, and table numbers to add a cool, modern element to your wedding decor.

Marble has long been a staple in home decor (hello, dream counters!) but recently has shown up in smaller decor elements, as well as splashed across walls in its faux form. In weddings, it makes for stunning cakes, seating cards, and ceremony backdrops.

Houseplants are spilling, climbing, and otherwise taking over the interwebs in both home and wedding decor. So swap out your flowers for a bouquet of greens, fly your garland sky high, or build a funky organic installation to really bring the outside in on your wedding day.

Copper tones pair well with both pastels and darker jewels, and add a warm industrial edge to your wedding day. Set your tables, coat your cake, and raise your Moscow mule in a toast to this rosy metal.

From tables to terrariums, geometric elements add a playful pop to home decor and bring that same modern feel to weddings as well. Make a statement and hang geometric elements from the ceiling or replace your vases and decorate them with minimal blooms for maximum impact.

Earthy and elegant, terracotta is making a comeback in home and garden decor right now. From amazing invitations, to simple aisle decor or seating cards, terracotta is cool, classic, and adds a rustic, yet refined element to wedding decor that I just love.

Lush, decadent, and perfect for the return of glamorous art deco-style interiors, velvet is a dream for wedding tablescapes and lounges too.

Millennial pink isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, but rich jewel tones do seem to be making a comeback at home. And since wedding palettes often trend light and ethereal, deeper shades can make a bold, creative statement in your wedding decor. Blooms in shades of berry, navy blue suiting, and wine linens are all good places to go a few shades darker.

If clean lines and spare and intentional decor suit your taste at home, why not try incorporating those ideals into your wedding day? Think single stem garlands, simple decorations and a beautifully elegant cake.
