As wedding trends shift, 2026 is shaping up to be all about intentionality: designing celebrations that reflect your unique story, streamline the planning process, and leave a lasting impact. Here’s what today’s couples are prioritizing as they plan their unforgettable days.
1. Personalized, Immersive Experiences
Couples are crafting weddings that go beyond one-night events, think multi-day gatherings that truly reflect who they are. From cozy mountain welcome dinners to sunny poolside cocktail parties or elegant sit-down rehearsal dinners, Utah couples are leaning into immersive, multi-day celebrations that let guests truly experience the beauty of the state not just the wedding day itself.
2. Bold Color & Emotional Design
Gone are the days of cookie-cutter neutrals. Today’s couples are embracing rich, expressive color palettes : deep, romantic shades of emerald green, maroon red, and shimmering gold, eye-catching bouquets, and statement stationery that feels curated and emotional, not just pretty.
3. Sustainability & Mindful Luxury
Eco-conscious choices are no longer niche, they’re essential. Like sourcing locally grown flowers, renting décor instead of buying, or gifting guests with locally made favors. Not only does it feel good, but it also celebrates Utah’s artisans and small businesses.
4. Elevated Food & Drink Experiences
Food is no longer just a wedding “must-have” it’s a form of entertainment and connection. Couples are investing in curated dining moments, from live chef stations to signature cocktails inspired by their love story.
5. All-Inclusive, Stress-Free Planning
In 2026, couples want simplicity. Venues and planners offering streamlined, all-inclusive experiences, from catering and décor to accommodations, are gaining traction.
Flexibility is key, especially when it comes to weather in Utah. Venues that offer both indoor and outdoor spaces are top of the list for 2026 couples.
6. Statement Photography & Real-Time Sharing
It’s not just about capturing moments, it’s about living them. Couples are hiring content creators or a photographer that brings two people to document candid moments and their wedding. These storytellers bring weddings to life through edits and Instagram-perfect storytelling.

Planning a wedding in 2026 is all about creating a day as unique as your love story, personal, stylish, sustainable, and effortlessly joyful. Whether you're leaning into bold hues, immersive experiences, or stress-free planning, your wedding should feel authentic and unforgettable.
