‘‘This season seems to be very different,’’ says Fallon King, director at Christchurch’s The Little Hire Company.

‘‘Typically you would only work with a few popular style trends, but this season there are so many new or evolved styles coming through that it makes it extra exciting.’’

King says one of the most popular emerging trends this season are metallics, with gold and rose gold being the most coveted.

‘‘They add a touch of elegance quite effortlessly, and are versatile enough to be added to more wedding styles,’’ she says.

King says the ‘‘rustic’’ trend continues, but is having something of a sophisticated makeover for the coming season.

‘‘Rustic styling has been really popular in the past few years, but has now evolved into something more elegant.

‘‘This more glam update keeps everything chic but still incorporates some rustic elements such as mason jars, wood rounds, or using bare wooden tables.’’

Lucy Burke, co-owner of Bay of Plenty event furniture and decor hire company, Louisiana Lucy, agrees.

‘‘We’re seeing a shift from the recently popular ‘rustic’ wedding to more of a sleek, clean, modern feel.
