Eclectacles

Attention to offbeat spectacles indicates a divergence from convention

Implications - We are witnessing a shift from traditional celebrations to more unique and individual festivities. The rise in eccentric celebration may indicate a desire to stand apart from convention; people are more willing to appease their own interests over adhering to strict rules of the past, which provides a new setting and context for private and professional event planning.
Trend Themes
1. Non-traditional Thematic Weddings - The rise in unique, eccentric weddings shows a desire to stand apart from conventional weddings and customizable weddings themes.
2. Geeky Gaming-themed Weddings - Incorporating pop culture themes in otherwise traditional weddings provides an opportunity for a customization that is appropriate for a non-conventional couple.
3. Dark and Gothic Weddings - The trend of incorporating dark and gothic themes in weddings provides an opportunity for florists to brainstorm alternative ideas and designs for bouquets and centerpieces.
Industry Implications
1. Event Planning - Event planners could use this trend to diversify their services and offer unconventional themed packages in private and professional event planning.
2. Floral Design - Florists could use this trend to test their creative limits in designing non-conventional yet visually stunning bouquets and centerpieces for themed weddings.
3. Gaming and Entertainment - Gaming and entertainment firms could capitalize on themed weddings by providing game-related props, accessories, and entertainment services for unique weddings.
