Forget beige colour palettes and minimalist styling. 2027 is turning the volume back up, bringing with it more colour, more drama, and more energy than ever before. Here are the upcoming bridal trends for 2027 that are set to take over this year.
The wedding trends for 2027 are much bigger, bolder, and livelier than 2026. We’re expecting to see maximalist styling with sculptural florals and dramatic tablescapes, “journey weddings” that move guests through several parts of an estate across a day, smaller ceremonies followed by bigger evening parties, twilight weddings and multi-day wedding weekends where everyone stays over. 2027 wedding colours are moving from beige towards bold greens and berries, and couples are now briefing their suppliers and bridesmaids with a single, polished moodboard to help them achieve their dream look.

Top 10 wedding trends for 2027
More is more in 2027. Twenty years after its release, Marie Antoinette’s opulent, over-the-top style is making a comeback; and it’s showing up at weddings everywhere. Think oversized floral installations that spill across archways, dramatic draping, layered tablescapes, statement chandeliers, and rich, luxurious fabric centrepieces. The key is to go bigger (not smaller) – every space should feel fully dressed rather than restrained.
Wedding styling is borrowing directly from museums and galleries in 2027. We’re seeing more and more couples commission sculptural floral installations that they can repurpose (i.e. move from their ceremony to reception space), faux sculptures dotted through gardens, and bespoke furniture and design pieces that transform venues into living galleries. The aim here is to create an ‘exhibition’ that your guests will admire and photograph from every angle.
The 2027 wedding colours take their cue from long, sunny afternoons spent mingling with family and friends in the garden. Sage, olive, and botanical greens are replacing beige as the new neutral, bringing a fresh and timeless feel to your wedding. When paired with a garden setting and seasonal flowers, the effect is relaxed rather than overly formal, but still elegant enough to photograph beautifully.
After the repeated heatwaves of 2026, outdoor ceremonies are looking much shadier this year. Many couples are now looking to tie the knot in a woodland setting where mature trees give natural shade and dappled light, rather than an open lawn in full sun. Your guests will be more comfortable, your photographs will look softer, and your ceremony will feel intimate and naturally connected to nature.
Dreaming of saying “I do” surrounded by acres upon acres of picturesque gardens and idyllic countryside? Venues with beautiful outdoor spaces are still high on the wishlist in 2027, where you and your guests can explore, relax, and ‘get lost’ in throughout the day. They offer endless photo opportunities, natural entertainment, and a sense of exclusivity and space that’s hard to recreate indoors or at home.
Static weddings that take place in a single room are on their way out. In 2027, we’re seeing a clear trend towards weddings that move guests through several parts of a venue: drinks in the garden, a ceremony under the trees, a wedding breakfast in a barn, golden hour photos by the water, and a food truck before the evening party begins. Country manor estates excel here, as that’s exactly how a wedding day is built to flow in these gorgeous historic venues.
Guests lists are getting much smaller and more intentional in 2027. A lot of our couples now only invite 50-70 of their closest friends and family to the ceremony and wedding breakfast, but then open the doors to more evening guests. Many couples are also booking a twilight wedding package, ensuring the money they save on wedding food can go straight into creating an epic evening celebration, with live music, fun entertainment, and party food that keeps everyone partying all night long.
2027 isn’t the year to plan a wedding day that simply photographs well. It’s the year to go all out and create a fun, one-of-a-kind event that people will talk about years down the line. Bigger dance floors, surprise entertainment, champagne towers, and live bands are all taking priority over a picture-perfect schedule. The dancing often starts much earlier too, with live music throughout the ceremony and drinks reception to keep the energy building all day.
In 2027, your guests don’t want to sit quietly and watch your wedding unfold from the sidelines. They want to take part. Cocktail-making stations, perfume bars, live artists, roaming musicians, garden games, and interactive food experiences are a great way to get your guests involved in the celebrations. The little moments matter too, like changing your outfit after your sit-down wedding breakfast. This helps to create an element of surprise that keeps everyone on their toes and sets the tone for the next stage of your celebrations.
Onsite accommodation is one of the biggest factors in choosing a venue in 2027. Rather than ending the celebrations at midnight, your family and friends can stay over and spend quality time together. Turn what would typically be a one-day event into a proper weekend, with arrival drinks, a relaxed get-together the night before, and a recovery brunch with garden games to finish. We offer all this and more in our multi-day wedding package at Solton Manor.
FAQs
Sage, olive, and botanical greens are replacing beige as the go-to neutral in 2027. Pistachio, rich blue, butter yellow, and berry shades are also popular this year, especially for tablescapes and bridal party palettes.
A journey wedding moves guests through different settings across the day. For example, you may have garden drinks, a woodland ceremony, a barn reception, and an outdoor evening party, rather than just keeping everything in one room.
Many couples are inviting 50-70 guests to their ceremony and wedding breakfast in 2027. This allows them to put the money saved on the wedding breakfast towards a bigger, longer evening with live entertainment and late-night food.
More couples now want their wedding to stretch across an entire weekend rather than just one day, with guests staying over for breakfast the next day. Having accommodation on site makes that far easier to plan.
