1. Hot Chocolate Bar - 112.7 million TikTok views
While traditional wedding fayre often includes champagne toasts and wine, a hot chocolate bar offers a warm, decadent, and customisable alternative for the colder months. As the evening progresses and temperatures drop, guests can enjoy a sweet treat to keep them going on the dance floor. For younger guests or for those who don't drink alcohol, a hot chocolate bar also provides a great non-alcoholic option. With over 112.7 million TikTok hashtag views, the hot chocolate wedding bar trend is set to take the winter wedding season by storm!

2. Crystal Wedding - 2.8 million TikTok views
Amassing over 2.8 million views on Tiktok, the crystal wedding trend refers to wedding decor that incorporates crystals and gemstones into the celebration. This trend has gained popularity in recent years, and often involves the use of crystals for their aesthetic appeal, symbolism, or spiritual significance. Some couples might choose crystals that align with their intentions for the wedding day, such as love, harmony, or protection. Others may wish to use them purely for aesthetic appeal, incorporating them into the wedding bouquet, jewelry, or tablescapes. Wedding invitations and stationery may also feature crystal-inspired designs, such as watercolor crystals or foil-stamped crystal patterns.

With 1.2 million views on TikTok, the confetti cone trend shows no sign of slowing down this winter. The confetti can be chosen in colors that match the winter theme, such as silver, white, or icy blue. Snowflake shaped confetti is also a popular choice for the winter months, providing a fun and quirky way to welcome the newlywed couple! Couples can also choose to create or customize their confetti cones, adding a personal touch to the decor. Lastly, if your winter wedding is taking place indoors, where traditional rice or flower petal tosses may not be suitable, confetti cones provide a clean and easy way to celebrate without harming the environment or venue.
