Bright and Whimsical Wedding Colors are In

Over the past few years, we saw a trend into the simple and classic, minimalist wedding style. In 2022, post-covid life seemingly has brought back color and creativity. We are expecting a trend away from white classic, and into bright, full of life color! Plain white and ivory is out. So, let in the color!

Opt-out of a Traditional Tiered Cake

More and more brides are finding ways to truly personalize their wedding day. A very popular trend we are excited to see more of in 2022 is the trend away from traditional tiered wedding cakes, and toward an assortment of desserts! Another key component of why wedding cakes are trending out is cost. Opting for more simple desserts that truly fit you and your fiancé’s vibes can be much more cost effective!

Over the Top Custom Wedding Arches

We here at The Lesner Inn LOVE a unique wedding arch! Unique wedding arches are gaining immense popularity. A unique wedding arch gives you an amazing ceremony backdrop and gives such a wow factor. Additionally, a decorated and over the top arch like these above give such an instant focus for guests. Plain white arches are out; opt for something more colorful and over the top! Likewise, you can add some florals and drapery to your white arch for an instant pop of color!

Statement Walls and Neon Signage

NEON SIGNS AND STATEMENT WALLS ARE SO. IN. THEY ARE HERE TO STAY!!! We absolutely LOVE displaying your new last name with a neon sign or adding pops of lights to areas like your bar! Statement walls are easy ways to encourage photographs with a creative and well-designed backdrop. The guest experience is becoming increasingly popular, and neon signs and statement walls are a great way to add that wow factor. Besides, imagine having photographs like these to look back at???
