Although the pandemic forced to change certain aspects of weddings, such as reducing the capacity or incorporating kits with alcohol gel, the industry never stopped innovating and exploring new styles, colors and shapes. And specifically in terms of wedding decoration, the trends for 2022 will ensure functional weddings, but full of charm.

1. Wedding decoration with aromatic plants

Although the flowers will not lose their prominence, they will have to coexist in the wedding decoration with plants and aromatic herbs Traditional centerpieces will be replaced in 2022 by pots of basil or lavender. Cutlery and napkins will be presented with a sprig of olive or laurel. Paths will be demarcated with bunches of sage in metal buckets or jute sacks. And chairs for the ceremony will be decorated with rosemary bouquets, among other ideal proposals for rustic weddings. The plantsand aromatic herbs are not only fragrant, but also help to create different atmospheres.

2. Wedding decoration with natural fibres

Natural fibres, which evoke a holiday atmosphere, will burst into wedding decoration this 2022. Wicker nest lamps, jute underplates, sisal rugs and bamboo torches are some of the elements that will be in trend. And these fibres are also ideal for creating relaxation areas, either with hanging chairs, sofas and poufs made, for example, in rattan.

Wedding decoration with natural fibres is very suitable for country, beach, boho chic, eco-friendly and even industrial weddings. If you are thinking of something more urban, don't miss the black wicker lamps.

3. Wedding decoration with a variety of colors

After two years of uncertainty as a result of the pandemic, all signs indicate that 2022 will be warmer and brighter This is reflected in the colors that will set the trend, from soft tones, such as the neutrals that are always a contribution in decoration, to more vibrant colors such as yellow, blue, coral, green and neon tones.

Green and coral, for example, complement each other perfectly to decorate a daytime wedding, while the combination of blue and a neutral gray will be a hit for evening weddings. Neon colors, meanwhile, are more appropriate to highlight details, for example, in illuminated signs.

4. Wedding decoration with vintage elements

Ecological awareness, coupled with the desire to personalize everything, has resulted in a return to the wedding decoration with vintage touches Decorating with old suitcases or sewing machine bases, setting up a photocall among restored screens, marking the tables with picture frames or setting the scene with reupholstered seats are some of the proposals that will be seen in 2022 in this return to the roots.

Also, since the weddings will be essentially outdoors, you will have more options to incorporate these retro elements, for example, betting a Vespa at the entrance of the reception next to a welcome sign or a pastel-colored bike with a basket of flowers.

5. Wedding decoration with arches and maxi structures

For different types of altars, XL arches and structures will be a trend for wedding decorations in 2022. Whether they are oval, round, square, triangular or crescent-shaped, made of wood or metal, the idea is that they are eye-catching and adapt to the style of celebration. From romantic arches with roses or flowing fabrics, to boho-inspired designs with pampas grass,dream catchers or macramé falls.

You can also use green foliage structures, such as palm trees for a beach wedding. Pergolas with hanging crystals for an elegant ceremony. Or, if you're saying "I do" at night, you can show off by exchanging your vows with a curtain of lights as a backdrop. The more eye-catching the arch in 2022, the better.

6. Marriage decoration with transparent tents

Elegant, timeless and with a chic touch, these are the transparent tents that will be in great demand next year. Especially for air conditioning issues, they are very practical for those who want a wedding with a view of the landscape, for example the garden or vineyard where it will be set up, but without necessarily being outdoors.

You can decorate them with slender floral arrangements, Chinese lanterns, hanging vines or garlands of lights, among other elements. Whether for a day or night wedding, you will look great when hosting the reception and party in one of these versatile PVC tents that blend in with the surroundings.

7. Marriage decorations with different centerpieces

Finally, disparate centerpieces will burst into the wedding decorations of 2022. Therefore, combining tall and short centerpieces, as well as different styles, will be the bet to refresh the classic table setting.

You can alternate, for example, between floating candles in glass cylinders and bird cages with flowers, if it will be a romantic wedding, or between geometric copper terrariums and bottles customized with dry branches, for a rustic option. The idea is to dare with more than one proposal as far as centerpieces are concerned.

You already know! Wedding decoration is always surprising with new trends and 2022 will be no exception. You can also mix different styles in your wedding, like decorating a transparent tent with natural fibers furniture, or adding aromatic herbs to an arch for the altar.
