Top 2020 Wedding Trends You’ll See in Singapore Weddings
Get inspired by the top 2020 wedding trends in Singapore and inject some personality into your own celebration!
We’re kicking off the year with a forecast of wedding trends for 2020! We’ve been spotting these fun ways couples are injecting a dose of personality into their weddings, and predict that we’ll be seeing much more of these trends in the coming year.
The biggest wedding trend we’ll see in 2020? Individuality. More and more couples are breaking the mould of the traditional Singapore wedding, and opting to celebrate their union in more intimate and personal ways to be true to their unique story. We predict that in 2020, more couples will be expressing their personalities and styles and delighting their guests with a different wedding experience. Want to hold a wedding that’s really you? Check out some of our forecasted wedding trends for inspiration on how you can personalise your celebration!
1. Grazing Tables

Move over, dessert tables! Very popular overseas, grazing tables have finally made their way to our shores, and the luscious platters of cheese wheels, nuts, crackers, fruit, deli meats, and spreads are a delicious way to welcome your guests during cocktail hour. Give your guests a new experience in 2020 with this upcoming wedding trend, which is great for promoting interaction too!
2. Say It in Neon

6. Interactive Stations

Yes, we know photo booths are popular at weddings, but these interactive stations might be taking over in 2020. From floral bars where your guests can create their own posies, to cocktail bars where they can mix your favourite drink, interactive bars are a fun way to get your guests to mingle.
7. Acrylic Wedding Styling

8. Mismatched Bridesmaids
Amanda and Jon’s Beautiful Wedding at The Clifford Pier by Munkeat Studios
Samantha and Dwayne’s Magical JW Marriott Wedding by Pixioo
It’s almost impossible to find one silhouette to flatter every body shape, and that’s why we love the mismatched bride tribe trend, which isn’t going anywhere! Many bridesmaid collections now offer colour-coordinated dresses and pieces so your squad can mix and match. Let your girls express their styles with different cuts in coordinating hues and prints, so everyone looks good and feels comfortable on your big day.
9. Sustainable Weddings
Sherry and Yingkai’s Socially Conscious Wedding by Harriet Koh Photography
Jocelyn and Marcus’ Gorgeous Succulent Wedding at The Rabbit Hole by Click! Photography
We love how couples are going green at their weddings by repurposing their flowers and donating them after the celebrations, using potted plants for decor, selecting plant favours, or even by choosing an eco-conscious wedding package, such as the one offered by Marina Bay Sands. Other ways you can be make an impact on society with your wedding include hiring social enterprises as wedding vendors, as lovebirds Sherry and Yingkai did with their socially conscious wedding.
10. More Personal Pre-Wedding Shoots

Chloe Choo and Tan Choon Yan’s Cool, Urban Pre-Wedding Shoot by Pixioo
Studio pre-wedding shoots are fast becoming a thing of the past as more couples go for more candid, natural shots to document their love. From casual picnics on Coney Island to adventurous and far-flung destination shoots, engagement sessions these days are all about the couple’s personality and story.
