Going For Intimate And Personalized Events
Gen Z does not feel the pressure to keep a long guest list, unlike the millennials. They would rather spend it on travel or honeymoon.

It is paving the way for a personalized intimate gathering of loved ones, encompassing the ethos of quality over quantity.
Gen Z couples are also opting for unconventional venues instead of traditional banquets. Libraries, backyards, forests, and beaches that reflect their unique interest and tastes are becoming their preferred choice. They are even rewriting the vows incorporating stories and traditions that are deeply personal.
Infusing Tech Elements
Gen Z is the first generation that grew up in a fully digital world! Their love for technology can be imbibed in their wedding celebration. Who cares about the paper invites when you can go all digital cutting down on paper to maintain sustainability? RSVP features allow you to organize the event better as you would know the exact number of guests attending your events. Laser Drone Shows, Live streaming and VR technology could be great tools to connect with your loved ones staying far and wide. Sometimes creating hashtags over Instagram can also make an interactive experience for your guests.
Drone Shows with laser lighting can make your weddings colorful and fun. You can immerse in an experience that will remain engraved in your mind for many decades. Gen Z couples are taking the aid of technology to manage the seating arrangements, and timelines in a better way reducing chaos and confusion. Although Gen Z prefers an intimate gathering, they can still remain connected as they are in the spirit of laughter and fun.
Customization Of Non-Traditional Attire
Today, more and more Gen Z couples are ditching the whites and going bold over colors. They are painting themselves in the colors of red, pastels, and green with unconventional geometric patterns inspired by their unique tastes and personalities.
Sometimes couples opt for gender-neutral outfits to include some diversity and inclusivity in their wedding ceremonies. Customization with bespoke outfits is coming back in a fashion that reflects the couple’s style and story. The beauty of bespoke fashion lies in the fact that it is only made for you. Upcycled and heirlooms are increasingly becoming popular retaining their quirk and traditions passed on through generations.
Inclusivity And Diversity Is The Key
Gen Z wedding choices reflect the ethos of inclusivity and diversity. They honor the diverse cultures, religions, and varied faiths and values. Including diverse languages in the vows ceremony, and invitations is a great way to honor the inclusive culture of the 21st century.
Accessibility is another critical aspect of diversity.

There are many pet-friendly venues too to accommodate your furry friends. This practice not only makes each wedding personal and unique but also sets a powerful example for the future generation. Love has no boundaries. Every story deserves to be celebrated.
Indulge In Interactive And Immersive Experiences
Gen Z is not after going through the ceremonies but to make a memorable experience. Performance of LIVE bands or infusing a magical element with a magic show uplifts the experience to a different level. Sometimes, an interactive photo booth is a great way to keep the guests entertained. You can also arrange a craft station to create personalized mementos for wedding events.
