One Night Only? How About Three Days in the Hunter Instead
You’ve probably heard the news, micro weddings are predicted to be the biggest bridal trend in 2021. That’s all well and good but here at HYRE EVENTS we like to live loud. A quiet garden picnic seems a bit of a let down after so long cooped up, instead we’re inviting you to imagine a long weekend with your loved ones with champagne flowing, fit pits, never-ending dance parties and maybe even squeezing in some “I Do’s'“.
After a tumultuous year and a lot of long-distance between family and friends, it’s time to shake a tail feather and live it up with an extravagant holiday for your nearest and dearest. Rather than splashing out to impress the co-worker you barely tolerate and your estranged Aunt, instead focus on the people that really matter to you. You’ll find that less people means that you can redistribute budget, redirecting fancy invitations to things like luxe lounges to make sure guests are comfortable and relaxed for the entirety of the event.
Utilise pre-wedding events and next-day celebrations to create a weekend-long of love. If you’re angling to house your guests in a place and still feel like home, we recommend looking at private country properties. By encouraging guests to stay on site and explore local townships, you also effectively bring tourism to regional areas affected by both the bushfires and Covid restrictions. Which, you know, is a nice bonus.
There’s been a rise in mid-week weddings as a result of postponements from 2020. As people reshuffle their schedules you’ll see a lot more unusual dates that stretch into the weekend. These weddings are fantastic as they support businesses that weren’t able to work during COVID19.
If you had to swap your wedding for a brief civil ceremony, why not have a big celebration on your one year anniversary. You can still have the white dress and a big party making it a win win for everyone.
At HYRE EVENTS, we thrive on personalising our services to suit our couples and as trends change in 2021 we think that couples will consider a little more closely where their budget is spent. Utilize this time to party with the ones you love and relax during an escape to the country. It really is the best of both worlds.
