The Top Wedding Trends You’ll See in 2017

Just like Boxing Day has become less busy thanks to online shopping, so too is wedding planning. Getting everything squared away at the touch of a few buttons is super-satisfying.

Beautiful greenery illustrations, vivid florals and dreamy watercolours make for standout invitations.

Find these on Etsy for $16 a pop.

Whether there are a dozen in attendance or just the two of you, an intimate wedding makes for a romantic kind of day.

By having the ceremony somewhere far, it cuts down on the guest list. But by choosing somewhere more off the beaten path — think Iceland, Italy, Japan rather than the Bahamas, Jamaica and Aruba — will whittle it down even more.

Off-the-shoulder dresses are becoming more trendy but are still just as elegant.

Find this on ASOS for $51.

Gasps — from your future spouse to the guests — are the goal here.

Yes, ladies, detachable skirts are happening. So if you want to get married in a big, full ball gown but can't imagine sitting, eating and dancing in it, voila! A sheath dress is underneath said poofy skirt.

This beauty is available at Kleinfeld Hudson's Bay.

As far as classic bouquets go, you can never go wrong with blush pink peonies. But if you want to stand out, opt for bright and vibrant. And if you have cascading floral, even better.

From palettes of greys to creams, browns and golds, it's perfect for couples looking to achieve a sophisticated yet classy feel.

Barn weddings filled with nature-inspired decor like branches, wheat, lanterns and lots and lots of wood make for perfect backdrops. Or just have it outside.

Mix metallic elements (think copper, rose gold, pewter, distressed foil) with those neutrals or the rustic pieces and you've got one helluva stunning wedding.

There's something super-romantic about old-timey cars, antiques, lace, family heirlooms, confetti from classic books and old-world items to add that special touch.

With all the place settings, tables can get crowded. So couples are using the space above guests' tables to decorate. From tall tapers paired with gorgeous candelabras to twinkly low-hanging string lights and chandeliers in all kinds of shapes and sizes, things are looking up.

The same goes for flowers! More lush installations, over-the-top floral chandeliers and hanging garlands are a thing.

From personalized 3D prints of place cards and cake toppers, to custom Snapchat filters, to live-streaming the ceremony and reception, welcome to a whole new wedding world.

The main couple are definitely the centre of attention but there's something fun about keeping the guests engaged throughout the big day. So whether it be lawn games at an outdoor wedding, a photo booth or off-the-wall entertainment (maybe a magician or fire eaters), your nearest and dearest will be talking about it for years to come.

From additional courses (like an antipasti before the soup, or a pasta before the entrée), pre-wedding finger foods and late-night snacks, your guests will never complain — or go hungry.

Classic wedding cakes are still the norm but more couples are embracing different celebratory desserts like cupcakes, pies, doughnuts, pancakes, even cheese.

But if you are going to do a wedding cake, forego tradition and find a design that's almost too cool to eat. Almost.

Sure, sure, a DJ is great and takes requests but you can't beat a live band when it comes to reception entertainment.

Focusing more on giving than receiving, couples are turning to charity registries, which allows guests to make a donation in their name.
