The 2023 wedding season is already upon us, and couples are ready to dive into planning the details of their big day! Deciding which décor elements to incorporate into your wedding can be one of the most changeling tasks. Your décor should transform your wedding day by creating an atmosphere to set the mood to say “I do!” We have compiled 2023 wedding décor trends that will stun your guests.
Cafe Lighting
Get creative when it comes to cafe lighting! It’s not just for your outdoor patio! Bring the lighting inside! We promise it’s going to look stunning in your reception space. Especially if your venue has high ceilings, it will add a soft, elegant, and romantic feel. Soft cafe lights will give your reception space the moody, warm touch that will truly elevate your big night!
Texture
One trend we will see a lot more of in 2023 is texture! Textures can be incorporated in many different ways, from the invites to the ceremony altar and your reception tables. Mixing and matching different materials will create some seriously unforgettable look that are anything but boring. For example, look how stunning velvet can be when incorporated into a wedding!
Ceiling Drapery
A classy yet elegant way to add the “Wow!” factor to your reception is gorgeous drapery! Dressing the room with fabric will make your setting feel luxe and upscale, yet warm and inviting. Ceiling drapery is one of the best ways to turn your venue from beautiful to unforgettable!
Private Last Dance
In 2023 we’re kicking guests out to enjoy the final song with a private dance. That’s right, everyone is asked to leave except for the photographer so the two of you can have a moment by yourself to take in the magic of the day.
Hanging Installations
This ceiling décor trend we adore! There are many ways to pull this off, such as chandeliers, greenery, lightbulbs, or flowers. Give your VIP table the perfect aerial accent, adorn your dance floor with statement light fixtures, or light up your entire venue! Empty spaces in key areas are perfect for adding that extra spark of color or lighting.
Stationary that incorporates your colors and your information is all you need. Keeping it simple allows your wedding to remain elegant and timeless.
Arch Draping -
Nothing is more romantic than a bit of draping. The soft fabric that billows in the wind adds such a sweetness to your ceremony that not only you, but your guests will love as well. It is great for pictures as it smoothes out some of the hard lines of your pergola or arch.
Florals Florals Florals -
Flowers just make everything better. They give your space more color, they make your venue feel fresh and alive, and they give off an amazing smell that will ultimately put a smile on everyone’s face. Try incorporating a few floral arrangements along with your draping for that extra WOW factor!
Do things your way -
Doing things your way, completely unique to you will never go out of style. It is your day after all, so don’t be afraid to mix things up and keep your day planned around what you like. If that means adding an old cart to display your desserts or bringing in a horse for some photos, DO IT! I know the opinions of others can be hard to say no to, but you will never regret choosing the things that you enjoy.
Mismatched dresses -
Everyone has a different body type and structure. Picking bridesmaid dresses that are the same color and length, but a different style on top will bring creativity, unity and confidence. This will allow you to still be the focus in your photos, but also give your bridesmaids relief by feeling great in a style fits them.
Delicate Color Details -
White weddings have been and always will be the most popular wedding trend. However, adding a touch of an accent color could be a huge game changer. You get to keep the timeless white wedding look, without being too washed out. *Tip: If you’re going to add more than one color for accents, make sure they are within the same color palette and theme to match your overall look and feel.
You can never go wrong with adding some lighting. We guarantee that you will never regret that added chandelier or the sweetness of cafe lights behind your head table. Whether it be soft candlelight, whimsical chandeliers or the glimmer of cafe lighting, your guests will feel cozy and comfortable staying to enjoy your party even longer.
All of these wedding ideas will ensure you to have a wedding that you will not only love today, but for years to come.

So many people are seeking out venues with copious amounts of space and freedom to make it their own. However, some feel like you lose elegance or class. But not us! We think you can have both country and city! For example, Rolling Ridge is located an hour from the Twin Cities in Saint Joseph Minnesota, giving it the perfect distance between country and city. It provides 10 different ceremony spaces with a landscape that is second to none.
Ceremony site options
With multiple ceremony options, it allows for creativity to flow. So, if you choose a barn venue, it can easily be dressed up to feel like a fancy space in the city. Each place offering freedom to make it unique and special to you. Dress it up like a full western appeal, or keep it neutral toned for a more classy vibe.
This couple chose the stone backdrop for a more chic approach, where we decorated the arch with taupe draping and greenery arrangements to really make it POP!
Barns are great for receptions, but what if I still want that classy impression to last throughout the evening?
Draping. Draping can transform any space into the upscale, high class, most elegant room that you have always wanted. This couple chose to drape the barn poles and do a dramatic backdrop behind the head table for a flawless finish!
Still not convinced?
Think about your table decorations. Centerpieces can always add so much style and passion to complete any desired look. Keeping this wedding venue in mind, the couple added cool, natural tones in their decor to enhance the beauty of the barn that already existed.
The combination of linens for this wedding was EVERYTHING! The velvet fabric gave the reception texture along with comfort. Paired with a khaki linen, the green undertone kept it cool and elegant.
