We Were Recently Quoted in Yelp’s 2026 Wedding Trends Article

We had a fun little surprise this week... Dusk to Dawn Events was recently quoted in a Yelp article about the biggest wedding trends for 2026.


You can read the full article here:


The piece talks about how weddings are continuing to shift toward more personal, experience-driven celebrations, which is something we see with our own couples all the time here in the DC and Northern Virginia area.

According to Yelp’s search data, couples planning weddings in 2026 are leaning into things like:

  1. vintage wedding dresses

  2. lab-grown engagement rings

  3. wedding welcome parties and extended wedding weekends

  4. interactive food experiences

  5. more candid photography styles

  6. sustainable floral choices


In other words, couples are designing weddings that feel more like a reflection of their lives and personalities, rather than following traditions just because they’re expected.


Our favorite part of the article was seeing how many vendors across the country are noticing the same shift.


As we shared in the piece:

“A shift our team has noticed is how thoughtfully couples are choosing who they work with. More and more, they’re seeking out businesses and vendors who genuinely reflect their community and values.”

We couldn’t agree more.


One of the most meaningful parts of planning weddings is helping couples create a day that actually feels like them — whether that means a mariachi band during cocktail hour, a dessert bar instead of cake, or a full wedding weekend where everyone stays together and celebrates longer.


It’s been really fun watching weddings evolve over the last few years, and we’re honored to have been included in the conversation.


A big thank you to Yelp for including us, and to the couples who trust us to help bring these celebrations to life.
