Shorter engagements - the new norm
Short engagements are gaining traction in the wedding industry as couples increasingly prioritize spontaneity and the desire for authentic experiences over traditional timelines. This shift reflects a broader cultural movement towards living in the moment and embracing the joy of commitment without the lengthy planning periods that often accompany typical engagements. This trend may also be influenced by economic considerations, with many couples opting for more intimate celebrations that require less planning and reduced costs. As a result, vendors are adapting to meet the needs of these couples, offering flexible packages and innovative solutions to ensure that, even with a shorter planning window, each wedding still feels personalized and memorable.
