In the ever-evolving world of wedding trends, 2024 has brought us something refreshingly different: the “very demure, very mindful” movement. Yes, you heard it right! It’s time to put away the neon signs, the fire-breathing entertainers, and the seven-tiered cakes. Instead, we’re all about the subtle, the serene, and the profoundly meaningful.
Thanks to TikTok creator Jools Lebron, who single-handedly made the “very demure, very mindful” wedding trend go viral, brides everywhere are rethinking their big day. So, if you’re ready to embrace this elegant movement and plan a wedding day that’s both chic and introspective, then read on!
The Ceremony: Zen in Action
First things first—your wedding ceremony is the perfect place to start channeling that demure and mindful vibe. Picture this: You’re walking down the aisle to the gentle strumming of an acoustic guitar, not a dry eye in the house. Why? Because the music is so subtle, people can actually hear themselves think. It’s the wedding day equivalent of a silent disco, but with fewer glow sticks and more heartfelt whispers.
Opt for a minimalistic altar—think fresh greenery, soft white florals, and maybe a single candle that’s been ethically sourced and hand-poured by a local artisan (because, of course, it has). The idea here is to let the love between you and your partner take center stage, not the decor.
Mindful Moments: Let’s Get Sentimental
Now, onto the vows. If there’s ever a time to embrace the mindful part of your wedding, it’s here. Take a cue from Jools Lebron herself and incorporate pauses into your vows. Yes, pauses. The kind that allow everyone to really feel the weight of your words. It’s like a meditation session, but instead of chanting “Om,” you’re promising eternal love.
And while we’re at it, why not include a moment of silence during your ceremony? It’s a great way to let everyone soak in the significance of the day, and it’s also a sneaky way to make sure no one’s phones are buzzing with notifications about the latest TikTok trends.
Reception: The Art of Subtlety
Next, let’s talk about the reception. Forget the over-the-top extravagance—this is where your demure style shines. Think simple, yet elegant table settings with natural linens, artisanal place cards, and centerpieces that wouldn’t dare steal the spotlight from the couple of the hour.
Your menu? A mindful selection of seasonal, locally-sourced dishes that are as sustainable as they are delicious. And let’s not forget the drinks. Offer a signature cocktail that’s not only Instagram-worthy but also crafted with mindfulness in mind—perhaps a lavender-infused gin with a hint of elderflower, served in a vintage coupe glass. Because, darling, it’s all in the details.
For entertainment, consider a live acoustic set or a playlist of carefully curated songs that are just upbeat enough to keep the party going without overwhelming the senses. Remember, this isn’t Coachella—it’s your wedding day, and we’re keeping it classy.
The Exit: Understated Elegance
Finally, the exit. The days of sparklers and fireworks are behind us (at least for this wedding trend). Instead, why not exit to a chorus of soft, wind chimes or the gentle flutter of biodegradable confetti? It’s understated, eco-friendly, and, most importantly, totally on trend.
And there you have it—a demure and mindful wedding day that’s as elegant as it is unforgettable. By embracing this trend, you’re not just planning a wedding; you’re creating a day that resonates with simplicity, beauty, and deep meaning. Plus, you’ll be riding the wave of the latest TikTok sensation, which is never a bad thing when it comes to social media clout.
So, as you plan your wedding, keep it demure, keep it mindful, and most of all, keep it you. And if anyone asks where you got the idea, just smile and say, “I saw it on TikTok.”
