If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this year’s wedding season, it’s that couples are getting bolder, more creative, and far more personal with how they celebrate. 2026 is already shaping up to be a year where traditions and wedding trends are being reimagined, and every detail, from the décor to the entertainment, represents you, as a couple.
So, if you’re planning your big day for 2026 or 2027, here are the wedding trends that are actually worth saying “I do” to.
Create an experience
1. Experiences Over Extras
Couples are moving away from endless decorations and focusing instead on what makes guests feel something. 2026 is about experiences that get people smiling, laughing, and connecting.
Think unique wedding trends, interactive food stations, creative photo backdrops, or a portable crazy golf course to keep guests entertained between the ceremony and dinner. It’s all about creating those moments that bring everyone together (and make for brilliant photos too).
2. Outdoor & Hybrid Celebrations
Outdoor weddings are here to stay but with more flexibility than ever. Couples are blending the best of both worlds: open-air receptions, marquee dining, and indoor areas for late night dancing.
That flexibility opens the door for unique entertainment options like mini golf or garden games, which fit effortlessly into a garden, courtyard, or marquee setup. They keep the atmosphere relaxed and inclusive, no matter the weather or space.
You don't have to be traditional
3. Sustainable, Thoughtful Touches
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword anymore, it’s a real consideration for couples. From reusable décor and locally sourced catering to hiring suppliers who design and build by hand, every choice matters.
At Globetrotters, our handcrafted courses are made from sustainable materials and built to last season after season, making them a thoughtful, low impact choice for eco-conscious couples.
4. Mixing Formality with Fun
The stiff, traditional wedding format is fading fast. Instead, couples are embracing “formal fun vibes”, where a classic ceremony meets a playful reception.
Mini golf, garden games, props and cocktail bars are the perfect balance between elegance and entertainment.
