Wedding Trends for 2026: How The Oak Grove Wedding Venue Can Bring Your Dream Day to Life
We have been excitedly looking into the wedding trends for 2026; from non-traditional venues and earthy colour palettes to sustainable wedding dresses and intimate celebrations, here’s a sneak peek into a few of the trends we’re most excited about and how our venue is the perfect fit!
The Oak Grove Venue
Non-Traditional Venues: A Unique Setting for Your Special Day
Couples in 2026 are stepping away from the conventional hotel and ballroom settings and are seeking out venues that offer a distinct atmosphere. While art galleries, vineyards, and botanical gardens are gaining popularity, rustic farm venues and outdoor venues are continuing to be a favourite choice.
At The Oak Grove Wedding Venue, we pride ourselves on providing a warm, rustic setting that offers the perfect balance of elegance and charm. Our expansive outdoor spaces, surrounded by lush greenery and oak trees, allow you to bring the beauty of nature into your celebration. If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” beneath the shade of majestic trees, surrounded by apple orchards, farm lands and riverways, The Oak Grove is the venue that can bring that vision to life.
Warm and Earthy Colour Palettes: A Nod to Nature
In 2026, couples are choosing warm, earthy colour palettes inspired by the Mediterranean. Colours like terracotta, olive, sunlit gold, ocean blues, and crisp whites that evoke a sense of warmth and calm. These natural hues are perfect for outdoor summer weddings.
The Oak Grove’s natural surroundings make it the perfect backdrop for these colours, allowing floral arrangements, table settings, and décor to shine against the scenic landscape. Whether you’re drawn to the rich hues of autumn or the soft pastels of a spring wedding, our venue provides a versatile canvas that can complement any palette.
Vintage Inspiration: A Timeless Touch
2026 will also see a resurgence of vintage-inspired details, with brides looking to incorporate timeless elements from past eras.
The Oak Grove’s rustic yet elegant charm perfectly complements these vintage-inspired trends, from our vintage-styled bar and furnishings to suppliers that can provide vintage touches, making it the perfect place for couples who want to infuse their day with a touch of classic timeless beauty.
Maximalist Wedding Dresses: Bold and Beautiful
In contrast to minimalist trends, 2026 also brings a return to the maximalist wedding dress—a trend filled with voluminous skirts, oversized bows, long trains, and intricate 3D floral appliqués.
The Oak Grove’s charming rustic and natural surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for these statement-making dresses. Picture the dramatic flair of a maximalist gown as it flows across our expansive lawns, creating a stunning contrast against the lush greenery and wild Saxon Shoreline.
If you're dreaming of a dress that will turn heads, The Oak Grove is the venue where your wedding style can truly shine.
