Edgy
We love an edgy wedding theme trends as much as the next person. The metallic and industrial style has been popular for the past couple of years, but is gaining momentum in 2018. We predict Pinterest next year to be a metallic lovers haven.

This wedding theme trend has even been spotted with catering. The ‘naked’ metallic cake is brilliantly beautiful, and the ultimate showstopper at your wedding reception.
Colour
The minimalist wedding theme may be enjoying its moment in the spotlight in 2018, but colourful weddings are still sought after. A pop of colour is a fantastic addition to your special day, whether that involves coloured flowers, or colourful lighting; the opportunities are endless. We recommend injecting a colour pop to your wedding with event entertainment; namely, the carnival. There’s nothing more colourful than a huge ‘welcome to the carnival entrance’, surrounded by a myriad of balloons. For even more unusual party entertainment, there’s a heap of games that fit this 2018 wedding trend.
