With more weddings than ever planned this year, it’s no surprise that engaged couples are looking for ways their big day can stand out from the rest.
Lisa Forde, founder of Tree of Hearts
Wedding expert Lisa Forde, who founded leading wedding stationery favourites Tree of Hearts, said 2022 will be a monumental year for love.
“It’s going to be a huge year for the wedding industry,” Lisa says. “Traditionally popular dates for a wedding have been Thursday through to Sunday, but this year we’re seeing more and more weddings planned for every day of the week as venues get booked up following postponements from the last two years.
“But it does mean so many couples are looking for ways they can change up their big day and make it stand out from others.”
Alongside her expert team of 16 dedicated wedding professionals, Lisa has revealed the biggest wedding stationery trends to look out for this year:
Regency period style wedding trends
“Love stories and the romantic literary greats will feature strongly in 2022 wedding trends,” explains Lisa.
“And with the hotly-anticipated second series of Bridgerton set to air in March, Regency period fascination will find its way subtly into weddings, with literary-inspired touches and splashes of Regency Blue.
“Think of a quintessentially English cottage aesthetic, tradition, and regal elegance. Perfect for the traditionalists amongst us.”
Nature-inspired palettes
Lockdown has given many a newfound appreciation of nature and Lisa predicts that this feeling and connection will be shown through wedding choices this year.
“We’re seeing many couples already choosing earthy, natural colour palettes and moving away from the whites and pastels of old. “Whether it’s grasses, pampas, eucalyptus or simple foliage with minimal petals, it will be a strong trend for the year ahead.”
The Sustainable Wedding
Sustainability is already a huge priority amongst many Brits but in 2022 this is set to grow even further.
“Many couples will look to reduce the environmental impact of their wedding through eco-friendly suppliers and reusable items,” explains Lisa. “Stationery from environmentally friendly suppliers (like us at Tree of Hearts!) and reusable decorations and favours will play a big part, as weddings become a statement of how a couple wants to live in harmony with the environment.”
Lisa’s company, Tree of Hearts, uses only responsibly-sourced paper, utilises carbon-neutral processes throughout production and its cards, invitations and envelopes are widely recyclable. To find out more about Tree of Hearts visit treeofhearts.co.uk
