It’s really no surprise that technology and customization are two of the largest trends incorporated into today’s modern weddings. From high-quality photobooths and digital photo albums to applying customized details to your bridal party gifts and table décor, couples are staying mindful of the most current wedding trends.

According to a WeddingWire study, 43% of all weddings take place from September to late November, with the two most popular dates being in the month of October. In addition to actual weddings, WeddingWire says up to 40% of all engagements take place between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. Given the popularity of the fall nuptial season, WeddingWire compiled this season’s most anticipated trends.

Personalized Exit Tosses
Exit tosses that deviate from traditional rice and sparklers are a way to share personal insight into the couple you’re celebrating. While exit tosses are often forgotten for one reason or another, by integrating the couple’s romantic story into them, creativity flourishes in a memorable way. Celebrating a jet-setting, adventurous couple? Throw pretty paper airplanes. Cycling enthusiasts are tying the knot? Ring bicycle bells. The options are endless as well as sophisticated.
