Gone are the days of the same old wedding ceremony: traditional white dress for the bride, tuxedo for the groom, and style over comfort. We might have had centuries of the same, but that’s all about to change now that Gen Z is entering the marriage market. A new report by Bridebook reveals what to expect the generation to prioritise when it comes to their big day – and you’d get no prizes for guessing it’s not what you grandmother would’ve planned for them. While previously, the run up to weddings is seen as the most stressful time in the couples’ lives, Gen Z is baking their obsession with wellness into the ceremony itself. According to Bridebook, wedding parties of the happy couple should prepare themselves for starting the day with a guided breathwork session. The ceremony itself will feature aura photography, or even energy readings, the report suggests, in a move away from traditional photoshoots with the couple and their families. You might even have to take a day off work, as more than a third have moved to a weekday wedding to save costs, according to Bridebook. But, don’t worry, there is still something about Gen Z weddings that would make your elders proud, as they’re 25% more likely to get married in a place of worship than previous generations. Although, er, just don’t tell them that this could be more to do with their penchant for ‘dark romance’ and gothic cottagecore aesthetics than their devoutness. Of course, this commitment to drama will also translate to their fashion, accessories, and drink options. So to prepare you for your next guest experience, we’ve rounded up everything you’ll see at a Gen Z wedding. Related...
