We’re pretty excited to find out what 2024 will bring, Cakies. But first, let’s take a little look back on all this past year had to offer us in weddings and celebrations! Instagram has spoken, and 2023 was undoubtedly the year of PINK, from wedding dresses to bridesmaids to flowers. It was also the year of bows on bows on bows, lots of fun cakes and floral installs, and getting a closer peek at those extravagant celebrity weddings we all love to follow.
Take a peek back at those wedding trends we predicted for 2023 (PART 1 and PART 2) and keep scrolling to find the Instagram posts you loved the most with millions of views and likes galore, and some that even went viral all over the world…

Our most popular wedding fashion posts on Instagram almost always included pink (remember this pink wedding dress code?)… here are the highlights!
…Like this colorful spring bridal party anchored in different shades of pink.
Pink wedding dresses are always a hit, but our bride Marissa knocked our socks off with an insanely dreamy pink wedding dress by Monique Lhuillier.
And remember when this bride told her ‘maids to pick their own dresses? Proof that you can’t go wrong with PINK.

On the celebrity front, our most popular Instagram posts included Amal and George, Sofia Richie and Elliot Grange, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, and of course Zooey and Jonathan’s engagement.
