When I met Julia, she had come to Montenegro to see the coast and find the perfect place for her wedding. A beautiful girl with blonde hair and a lovely disposition showed up. We immediately hit it off and spent two friendly days by the sea searching for the right place that suited her style. Months later, when I also met Sam, the picture was complete because they were a couple I loved at first sight. Their love enriched me. On the wedding day, they read their vows to each other without witnesses or guests. They spoke words to each other that their hearts would remember forever. Certain things that are so simple and unique mean more than any other material thing.

These days, I think a lot about togetherness, partnerships, and the meaning that guides us through life. There is so much that young people carry within themselves nowadays. Worries have doubled. However, when everything is added up and subtracted, a life without love, without a partner who supports you at the end of the day, that day hasn’t really had any meaning.

Over the last few years I have seen a change in how couples want to plan their weddings. They are more inclined to choose modern, contemporary celebrations creating an ambience or a mood, as opposed to being led by trends, colors and themes.

The biggest wedding trend for 2020 is individuality.

It’s hard to deny Instagram’s enduring influence on wedding day decor. To keep things interesting, couples are becoming more creative and sophisticated with their requests. Clients want a more tailored look and approach to their wedding, something that feels fresh and ‘them’, as opposed to a more typical wedding look. It’s more about the atmosphere and vibe.

Though keeping the environment in mind is something that should never be considered a “trend,” more and more couples are making concerted efforts to lessen the impact their celebrations have on our planet. Couples with the environment top of mind are even opting for completely sustainable weddings, from the food to the flowers. Floral designers are taking some of the biggest strides, cutting down or completely eliminating the use of flower and using dried flowers. Gone are the days of basic color palettes like the standard white and green, all blush, or neutrals plus metallic weddings. Expect the new year to bring about pops of color, new palettes, print mixing, and statement hues that weddings haven’t seen before. Get in touch with your personal style and set the table, florals and design accordingly. And while 2020 weddings will see a wide range of shades and tones get highlighted and mixed, this trend is also about showcasing your favorite hue in a big way. If you love one particular color, lean in full force rather than peppering it in sparingly.

Ceremonies are also becoming more communal and inclusive, getting an infusion of spirituality with interactive gestures and blessings that bring the guests into the couple’s vow exchange. 2020 will expect more of this feel good energy in weddings of all creeds and faiths, be it in the ceremony, the decor, or the entertainment.

It’s more about the atmosphere and vibe.

Are you a lover of whiskey? A huge tequila fan? What about a champagne connoisseur? Treat your guests to your favorite spirit in droves, either at the reception or as a fun addition to the after-party. Make sure this specialty bar is one that shows off how much you know about your favorite wine or liquor, providing options to your guests, the proper glassware, and a series of garnishes as needed.

Slip dresses, simplicity, and understated styles are taking a backseat in the new decade, with fashion getting bigger, bolder and so it seems better. Volume, tiers, loads of tulle, intricate beading, and a more-is-more approach to dressing seem to be on the docket, but with that comes the need for an ample dose of restraint. Expect brides to change more frequently think a ceremony look, a reception dress, and an after party costume change. This trend is about fashion risk taking, but also knowing when it’s time to rein it in. This year promises brides who don’t play it safe, and choose bold shapes, color, prints, lengths, sleeves, and more that are sure to stun in all the right ways. When plotting out a night of multiple looks, consider the story you’re telling. Explore your fashion personality, but make sure there is a nice flow as you transform from look to look. Plot your changes (fashion, accessories, and beauty) in advance so that you spend as little time as possible in the dressing room and more time on the dance floor.

Far and away weddings are always a good idea. From the Japan to celebrations in Thailand, the Seychelles, Montenegro, Majorca, and beyond, couples are viewing the world as their oyster when planning weddings for the next decade. It seems that there is no need to save the world’s once in a lifetime locations for your honeymoon. Instead, choose the spot on the globe that means the most to you as a couple or your family, or that you’ve always dreamed of traveling to tie the knot. If editing your guest list is required to make your dream destination happen, so be it smaller weddings are also trending for the new year.

When you planning a wedding far and away, choose your planning team very wisely. Ideally, your wedding planner should be well versed in planning destination affairs, and they’ll usually collaborate with a local agency on the ground for all deliveries, logistics, and details.

I will explain you differences between a full time planning, destination planning and coordination.

A full service planning is organization from the beginning to the end of your wedding day. The first step is creating and sticking to the budget, manage planning timeline, recommendation and hiring of vendors, event design, and facilitate of venue tours. And that’s just the beginning. Full service of planning will help with your guest list, invitations, day of timelines, floor plans and on site management. Basically, wedding planner is here to take the stress out of your wedding day so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying the celebration.

A destination planning is similar to a full time planning, but I need to have expertise in planning events at your wedding site, whether you want an over the top celebration in Europe or a luxurious wedding weekend in Montenegro. In addition to the full service scope of planning, this can help you scout the perfect location, venue and vendors, support your guests with travel and accommodations, design trip itineraries, and navigate cultural differences, laws and regulations.

When the client wants a coordination I will step in much closer to wedding day. Coordinating your wedding effectively and professionally requires experience, skill, time and some advanced planning. On the day of the wedding, it is my responsibility to make everything go as planned.

Basically, wedding planner is here to take the stress out of your wedding day so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying the celebration.

You know your planner is the correct fit for you to be relaxing and enjoying the process. Countless hours will be spent discussing sensitive details such as close family, personal funds, and other intimate topics. Make sure this is someone you are comfortable with and trust. A good rule of thumb is to hire someone who would be a friend, even after your event is over.
