It\u2019s officially been a month since the power couple of the moment, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, announced their engagement<\/a>. Over the last few weeks, wedding experts and fans alike have been doing everything they can to predict what Swift and Kelce\u2019s wedding will be like. Knowing the couple\u2019s penchant for privacy, we\u2019ll probably only see a glimpse into their big day, but Swifties are still awaiting it with eager anticipation.<\/p>\n

The wedding experts at Zola wanted to determine just how much the celebrity couple will influence others\u2019 nuptials and celebration choices. The Zola team conducted a survey<\/a> that included 1,971 couples planning weddings for 2026, as well as 770 wedding professionals. The results showed that Swift and Kelce will have quite the impact on weddings beyond their own in the coming year. As couples aim to follow in Swift and Kelce\u2019s footsteps, there are certain things you can basically plan on seeing at every wedding you go to.<\/p>\n

1. Lots of Taylor Swift tunes<\/p>\n

One of the main findings of the survey was that couples are going to play Swift\u2019s music at their weddings. In fact, almost half said they\u2019ll be asking their band or DJ to include her songs on their wedding playlist. That\u2019s not all, though. Another 19% said they planned to walk down the aisle to her music, and 6% were going with one of her songs for their first dance. If you\u2019re going to a wedding anytime soon, you\u2019ll definitely be hearing something from Swift\u2019s musical catalog. If you\u2019re not a fan, now might be the time to invest in earplugs or learn how to dissociate very effectively.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t really groundbreaking information, though. Swift\u2019s music is already a staple at weddings thanks to many of her songs dealing with themes of love and finding \u201cthe one.\u201d Songs like \u201cLove Story,\u201d \u201cYou Are In Love,\u201d and \u201cLover\u201d basically sound like they were made for weddings. As Brides Magazine contributor Ellen O\u2019Brien<\/a> said, \u201cFrom getting ready with your closest friends to dancing the night away with your new spouse, music plays a critical role in your big day \u2026 And whether you\u2019re a devoted Swiftie or a casual listener, Taylor Swift\u2019s discography features many tracks perfect for such an occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. An enchanted garden theme<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re not one of the 37.5 million people who liked Swift and Kelce\u2019s engagement photos on Instagram<\/a>, I\u2019ll explain the importance of the garden theme. Kelce proposed to Swift, surrounded by luxurious bouquets of buds in pink and white hues. The proposal decor even included a trellis that twisted over a patio swing filled with pillows in the same shades. Some fans thought this could be a nod to some of Swift\u2019s lyrics, like her mention of \u201csecret gardens\u201d in \u201cI Hate It Here<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zola\u2019s team predicted this would be a trend for weddings this year in their 2025 First Look Report<\/a>, so maybe Kelce took some inspiration from what\u2019s popular now, just like any other guy would. Regardless of his reasons for creating a beautiful, magical garden in which to ask Swift to marry him, Kelce has only moved the trend forward now. 11% of couples getting married in 2026 said they wanted an enchanted garden theme for their weddings, so you\u2019ll definitely be seeing it at quite a few ceremonies and receptions.<\/p>\n

3. Swift-inspired wedding and bachelorette party experiences<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not someone who likes little details at parties that could be described as gimmicky, you\u2019re out of luck for upcoming weddings and bachelorette parties. 56% of the wedding vendors Zola spoke to said they already offered Swift-themed packages for weddings and related celebrations, or that they would probably start. And who can blame them? It\u2019s a great way to capitalize on what\u2019s popular right now.<\/p>\n

This may not be the first time you\u2019ve run across something like this, though. Philadelphia Magazine<\/a>\u00a0reported on the wedding of Erin Seeherman and Moshe Berman in 2019, which was entirely Taylor Swift-themed. It was Seeherman\u2019s choice as she\u2019s a massive fan of the popstar, and it appropriately followed the release of her seventh album, \u201cLover.\u201d Swift even saw an X post Seeherman made about the event and congratulated the couple. Having a theme is just a part of celebrations, and some people may choose for that theme to be a person. To each their own, right?<\/p>\n

4. Plenty of Swiftie-approved wedding favors<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard about how Swifties traded handmade friendship bracelets at concert stops on Swift\u2019s Eras Tour. It was all a nod to a lyric from the song \u201cYou\u2019re On Your Own, Kid<\/a>\u201d \u2014 \u201cSo, make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.\u201d Well, if you go to a wedding anytime soon, you might just get a friendship bracelet as a wedding favor. 5% of the couples Zola surveyed said they would include that or something similar.<\/p>\n

No matter how you feel about Swift, you have to admit that a friendship bracelet with the married couple\u2019s initials or wedding date would be pretty cute. Plus, with such a wide-ranging discography, there are plenty of other Swift-themed wedding favors couples could hand out. Maybe some \u201cPaper Rings,\u201d or something \u201cTimeless?\u201d They might not be everyone\u2019s cup of tea, but they\u2019ll certainly be fun for some.<\/p>\n

5. Style, decor, and location trends that will take over<\/p>\n

Obviously, Swift and Kelce haven\u2019t actually gotten married yet, as they just announced their engagement, so it\u2019s a bit premature to predict what the wedding dress or venue will look like. And, fans may never see any of it, or only a very small portion that they choose to share. Still, couples are hopeful they\u2019ll get to see some pictures from their wedding, because experts are expecting it to influence their choices.<\/p>\n

71% of the professionals Zola surveyed thought that the style of the wedding would be the most influential factor. Meanwhile, 62% thought that their decor would be the most impactful for other couples. 43% of experts believed that the venue and location of the wedding would be the most important. 32% simply said every choice the famous couple makes will influence others getting married around the same time. The prediction about the importance of style may be right as the dress Swift was wearing in the engagement photos sold out in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n

Swift and Kelce may still be in the early stages of planning their own wedding, but whatever choices they make will inspire other couples for years to come. Everyone will want the same aesthetic they chose. Until they actually get married and people can see what their wedding looked like, they\u2019ll settle for music, parties, and favors that are inspired by the couple.<\/p>\n
