Young gens are embracing a more personalized approach to wedding ceremonies. Traditional formalities like gender-divided wedding parties, ceremonies in religious institutions, and even recent trends like wedding hashtags are becoming less common as couples seek to put their own spin on their weddings. Tim Chi, CEO of The Knot Worldwide, notes that with the onset of weddings among Gen Z, there’s a departure from conventional norms, indicating that young couples are more comfortable breaking away from the traditional practices. In 2023, several trends emerged thanks to the younger gens that made ceremonies in religious institutions decrease by 30% and matching wedding attire by 20% from 2018. (CNN)
