The people over at Pinterest recently determined what's hot in the world of weddings for 2016 by looking at the volume of weddings-related searches on the site and some of the top trending wedding pins. Here's what they concluded are among the top trends of the year:

1. Unplugged ceremonies. The site has seen a 600 percent increase in pins saved on this topic.

Matchy-matchy bridesmaids uniforms are no longer required, with many bridal parties opting for dresses in an assortment of colors and styles.

In lieu of a formal sit-down dinner, more couples are experimenting with casual -- and delicious! -- food truck fare.

4. Honeymoon funds. Searches are up 200 percent this year.

With more couples living together before marriage, a traditional gift registry filled with household items isn't always necessary. That's why many are turning to honeymoon funds to register for alternative items and experiences instead.

5. Toss bars -- such as confetti, glitter or popcorn. Pinterest has seen a 30 percent increase in the number of pins saved on this topic.
