2024 Wedding Trends – As we step into 2024, the world of weddings is evolving, and White Fence Farm, your idyllic vacation rental and event venue in Trade, TN, just a short 15-minute drive from downtown Boone, NC, is thrilled to be part of the next wave of 2024 wedding trends. Here’s a glimpse into what’s anticipated for the year ahead, and how you can weave these trends into your dream celebration at White Fence Farm.
2024 Wedding Trends – QR Codes for Seamless Experiences:
In 2024, expect to see QR codes becoming an integral part of weddings. From digital invitations to interactive guest experiences, have your wedding coordinator help you incorporate QR codes into your wedding details, ensuring a seamless and tech-savvy celebration for you and your guests.
Private Last Dances Under the Stars:
Create a magical and intimate moment by having a private last dance under the stars. White Fence Farm’s scenic surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for this romantic finale. Imagine dancing the night away with your partner, surrounded by the beauty of the High Country. You can also host fireworks on the White Fence Farm property – light up the sky as your guests depart from the occasion.
Welcome Toasts to Set the Tone:
Kick off your celebration with a welcome toast to set the tone for the festivities. White Fence Farm offers charming indoor and outdoor spaces where you can gather your guests for a heartfelt welcome, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere right from the start. Be creative with your welcome toasts – consider locally sourced garnishes. Try one of these:
- Prosecco and cranberries with rosemary
- Chocolate stout beer with an orange wedge
- A glass of chilled pinot grigio with sprigs of thyme and a sliced apple
Disposable Cameras Making a Comeback:
Capture candid moments with the resurgence of disposable cameras. Provide each table with a camera, encouraging guests to snap photos throughout the celebration. White Fence Farm’s rustic charm provides the perfect setting for these nostalgic keepsakes, capturing the genuine joy of your special day. Funny how some things are making a comeback in 2024 wedding trends!
Nature-Inspired Decor for Rustic Elegance:
Make the outdoors a prominent statement with nature-inspired decor. Whether it’s lush greenery, twigs and branches, fresh floral installations, or wooden accents, White Fence Farm’s versatile event space allows you to infuse rustic elegance into your wedding decor, creating a special background for your ceremony.
Interactive Food Stations for Culinary Delights:
Elevate your wedding dining experience with interactive food stations. White Fence Farm offers a blank space for your caterer to be creative when it comes to serving dishes. Delight your guests with diverse flavors and engaging food displays that add a touch of interactive charm to your celebration.
2024 Wedding Trends – Pro Tip: Don’t be afraid to ask your caterer about menu items that may not be on their standard catering menu, if you want something unique just ask!
Some popular 2024 Wedding Catering Ideas include:
- Charcuterie Board Table – design an entire table full of savory cheeses, meats, crackers, nuts, fruits, veggies, pickles, breads, and more!
- Food Truck – invite a truck onsite – White Fence Farm has plenty of space for this feature – and let your guests walk-up to get their snacks!
- Parmigiano Reggiano Wheel – display a large Parm wheel and have a caterer spin cooked pasta in the wheel in front of the guests, to order! Add a few choices of pasta sauces on the side for the guests to drizzle over top – for an over the top pasta experience!
Late Night Munchies and Comfort Foods:
All the dancing and reception activities can leave your guests feeling exhausted and in need of a late-night snack. Similar to appetizers, you can provide some small foods that your guests can enjoy before getting back on the dance floor or calling it a night. A few favorite snacks that’ll fix the midnight cravings include:
- Pizza – Pop a bunch of frozen pies in the oven thirty minutes before serving time…everyone will thank you for the cheesy goodness!
- Fast Food Bites – Fast-food places like McDonald’s are perfect for the midnight munchies. Designate one person to do an evening munchie-run! Imagine a mound of Big Macs!!
- Chips and Soda – Mini bags of assorted potato chips and sodas will satisfy everyone’s sweet and salty cravings.
- PB&Js – Pre-make a platter of peanut butter and jelly sammies and serve in stamped paper baggies with your wedding date.
- Popcorn – Serve up this buttery and salty snack in monogrammed to-go cups. Eat and party it up on the dance floor! Consider renting a popcorn machine for the night and put your coordinator in charge of poppin!
2024 Wedding Trends – Pro Tips: If you are serving these items close to the end of your reception it is great to have to-go sacks for guests to take with them. Having bottled water they can take with them as they leave is also a great idea. Don’t forget to pack some for you and your boo to take back to the room too!
2024 Wedding Trends – Sustainable Wedding Choices for Eco-Friendly Celebrations:
Sustainability is a growing trend in weddings. Paperless invitations and those printed on recycled or sustainable paper are becoming the norm. Zero-waste décor, like reusable, rented, or borrowed décor alongside living plants are becoming increasingly popular.
As you plan your wedding for 2024, let White Fence Farm be the canvas for your dreams. With its scenic beauty and versatile spaces, you can seamlessly weave these anticipated 2024 wedding trends into your celebration, creating an unforgettable day that sets the tone for a lifetime of love.
