Hey, if you're tying the knot in 2017, take note! Because since we hit up the first-ever international One Fine Day Wedding Fair here in NYC, we've been waiting to share four brand new trends that will have guests particularly pumped about next year's wedding season.

If you're planning a big day that's anything but basic, take a look at these four ideas that'll have your nearest and dearest dubbing your big day the best EVER:
1. An app that helps your single friends find "the one" at your wedding.
Playing cupid for all your solo pals is in, thanks to Single Tables! Simply sign up on SinglesTable.co to receive a private access code that can be shared with guests on your wedding website or invites, and wait for the magic to happen. Your single friends will feel less intimidated showing up stag, which means more happy guests (and maybe even fewer plus ones to pay for...).
Before the big day, guests can download the app and use the access code to enter the private group. Once they're in, they can view the other singles who will be attending and even save a dance with someone who catches their eye. Easy enough, right?
2. "Wending Machines," which are exactly what they sound like.
If you're scrambling to figure out wedding favors after your latest DIY fail, this trend has your name all over it. Wending Machines -- yes, they're wedding vending machines -- turn favors into a fun activity for guests while removing the headache for you.
Each "wending machine" can accommodate up to 28 items, from flip flops and party supplies, to snacks and drinking games. In fact, as long as it fits in the company's vend-approved boxes, it works! Plus, you can customize your machine's frame for added personalization.
3. A photo booth that turns your snapshots into a flip book on the spot.
We all know that guests love a good photo booth, but this new trend is saying "see ya" to those old school photo strips!
With a simple recording set-up, Go Flip Yourself takes a 7 second video of your guests, processes it into still images, and then prints and binds it into a custom flipbook in under two minutes. These small books make for an unforgettable favor that are sure to keep guests talking.
4. A fruity dessert we're going "Baonanas" for.
If you're a sucker for banana pudding, this one's for you! The duo behind mouthwatering, homemade Baonanas thinks this sweet treat is more than wedding-worthy (and their cult following #BaonanaNation can prove it).
