Orient Snow is the Asian distributor for the UK-based company [Snow Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-storage), which has provided the artificial snow for such prestigious productions as Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. Outside of the movie industry, however, Orient Snow has found another opportunity for artificial snow use. Many Asian countries have tropical climates that never see natural snow, but brides in these areas still find the aesthetic of a [winter wedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-white-garden) appealing. The concept has become so desirable, in fact, that Orient Snow is advertising its artificial snow for use in wedding ceremonies and photo shoots. Currently, 5% of Orient Snow's business comes from private photographers like Siu Ming, a popular photographer who has seen great success incorporating the artificial snow into bridal shoots. The company says that it can see this figure growing to 20 or 40%. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/weddings) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artificial Snow Weddings:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Wedding planners and photographers can incorporate artificial snow to create unique and visually stunning winter-themed weddings. - **Tropical Snow Aesthetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Event organizers can use artificial snow to bring a magical winter setting to tropical destinations and attract a new segment of clients. - **Artificial Snow Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Photographers can leverage artificial snow to create captivating and dreamy wedding photos, catering to the demand for unique and visually striking imagery. ### Who This Affects Most - **Wedding Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Wedding planners can offer artificial snow as a unique and memorable element to enhance wedding experiences. - **Event Management:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Event organizers can utilize artificial snow to transform venues, capturing the imagination of attendees and creating memorable experiences. - **Photography Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Photographers can differentiate their services by incorporating artificial snow into wedding and engagement shoots, offering couples a magical and unforgettable experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cutting-Edge Snow Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-storage.md) - [Metaverse Wedding Ceremonies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metaverse-wedding.md) - [AI-Inspired Fantastical Bridal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantastical-bridal-collection.md) - [Rentable Wedding Florals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rentable-wedding-bouquets.md) - [AI Wedding Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lovers-ai.md) - [Illusionary Ice-Hotel Beauty Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rose-icehotel.md) - [Luxury Bridal Rental Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ps-bridal-rental.md) - [Iconically Located Wedding Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/times-square-this-valentines.md) - [Wedding Meteorology Reports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-meteorology.md)
