"I have seen a few trends emerge from the pandemic. First, outdoor weddings are in high demand, and after waiting so long to celebrate, couples are looking to go as big as possible. Think impactful floral statements, fun surprises, and a real sense of celebration. Finally, as so many couples have had to push their wedding date, 2021-2022 has filled up. This has some couples opting for weekday weddings, which allow them to marry at their dream venue and is more cost effective as well." — Preston Bailey, designer and founder of Preston Bailey Designs
