Wedding in Normandy, France

December 23, 2025

At the beginning of 2026, two major wedding fairs will take place in our area:

Le Week-end du Mariage at Château de Roumare on January 10–11,
and from January 31 to February 1 at Clos de la Vaupalière.

On these occasions, we asked ourselves: what will wedding trends look like in 2026?

Here are the key wedding trends for 2026 🎉 — from decoration to bridal fashion, atmospheres, colors, and the overall guest experience:

💍 1. Personalized & meaningful weddings

Couples are seeking ceremonies that tell a personal story, far from imposed traditions. In 2026, authenticity matters most: genuine emotions, shared moments, and guest immersion.
Examples:
Intimate speeches, videos, and testimonials that strengthen family bonds.
Celebrations focused on togetherness, conviviality, and meaning rather than spectacle.

🌿 2. A strong commitment to eco-responsibility

Weddings in 2026 often reflect sustainable values: recycled materials, seasonal flowers, local vendors, and ethical food choices.

🎨 3. Colors & visual aesthetics

Forget classic all-white — the 2026 palette is rich, bold, and emotional.
Color trends:
Island Citrus (vibrant yellow-green), color of the year.
Natural shades: warm sand, sage green, greyed blue, clay pink, terracotta.
Sophisticated combinations such as emerald & plum or royal blue & gold.

💐 4. Immersive and artistic décor

Decor becomes narrative and sculptural rather than simply “pretty”.

Key elements:

Asymmetrical or spectacular floral installations.
Strong textures: draped fabrics, embroidered patterns, architectural structures.
Sensory experiences (lighting atmospheres, personalized bars, interactive moments).

👰‍♀️ 5. Bridal fashion: expressiveness & modularity

Wedding outfits move away from rigid codes to reflect each person’s personality.

Bridal trends:

Fluid silhouettes, modernized lace, reinvented corsetry.
Bridal separates: modular outfits (corset + skirt, cape, trousers).
Outfit changes for the cocktail hour or party.

🪩 6. Natural beauty & styling

Beauty trends support the overall wedding aesthetic:
Natural makeup / “butter skin” and milky white nails.
Loose, wavy or lightly structured vintage hairstyles.

🍽 7. Guest-centered experiences

Weddings are designed like mini-festivals, placing experience at the heart:
Interactive cocktail bars, DIY dessert stations, live artists.
Celebration weekends rather than a single day.

🏛 8. Styles décoratifs variés🏛 8. Diverse decorative styles

Alongside contemporary and natural styles, other universes stand out:
Architectural and contemporary luxury (black & white, sculptural elements).
Chic village weddings: elegant country fairs with festive nostalgia.
“Old money” / non-wedding styles: relaxed celebrations without protocol, often in small groups.

Our reception venues with accommodation are like blank canvases, set in environments with varied styles but always rich in authenticity:
