Wedding trends are everywhere—but not all of them are meant to last.

In this episode of Behind I Do, we’re breaking down 2026 wedding trends we love and the ones we’re ready to see quietly retired. As seasoned wedding planners, we’re pulling back the curtain on what actually works in real weddings—not just styled shoots or Pinterest-perfect moments.

We talk candidly about:

• Ceiling installs, drapery, and how to make big trends feel personal
• Animals at weddings (from dogs to Highland cows 🐮)
• Dance floor trends: checkered floors, custom vinyls, and when to skip them
• Editorial, blurry, and film-style photography—timeless or short-lived?
• Private vows, live music, DJs vs bands, and guest experience
• Color making a comeback (and why all-white weddings aren’t the only “timeless” option)
• Interactive elements guests actually enjoy (photo booths, mini golf, hat bars)
• Trends we’re seeing fade—Polaroid guest books, audio guest phones, serpentine tables
• How styled shoots sometimes set unrealistic expectations for real couples

More than anything, this episode is about intentional weddings—choosing trends that fit you, skipping what doesn’t, and designing a day that feels authentic, functional, and memorable long after the photos are taken.

Whether you’re newly engaged, deep in planning, or a wedding vendor yourself, this episode is your reminder that trends are optional—but personality is not.
