Top Wedding Trends for 2025

As we prepare to step into 2025, wedding trends are evolving in fresh and exciting ways. After a year that saw the rise of micro-weddings, pastel themes, and eco-conscious choices, 2025 promises bold colours, interactive experiences, and meaningful traditions. Here's a look at what's set to be the biggest wedding trends of the year ahead.

What’s In for 2025 Weddings?

1. Vibrant Colours

Pastels are stepping aside as couples embrace bold, energetic colour palettes. Think striking combinations like emerald and magenta or indigo with burnt orange to bring pops of colour to your wedding day. Décor will include statement pieces, lively floral arrangements, and mood-enhancing lighting to reflect personality and creativity​.

2. Luxurious Micro-Weddings

Small, intimate weddings continue to trend, but with a high-end twist. Expect personalised touches like curated menus, bespoke floral installations, and immersive entertainment. These gatherings focus on creating an unforgettable experience for each guest​.

3. Eco-Friendly Celebrations

Sustainability is now a core part of wedding planning. Couples are prioritising in-season flowers, biodegradable confetti, and reusable décor. Wedding favours are also becoming more thoughtful and eco-conscious, like seed cards guests can plant or locally sourced treats​.

4. Creative Dining Experiences

Traditional plated meals have had their time, but we’re ready for something new! Couples are opting for grazing tables, interactive food stations, and family-style dining to encourage a more social vibe. Think custom dessert walls which can add a touch of fun to proceedings or artisanal food pairings to wow your guests​.

5. Multi-Day Weddings

With the classic “the day went too fast” sentiment, extending celebrations is gaining popularity. The ‘wedding weekend’ is quickly gaining popularity with pre-wedding spa days to post-ceremony brunches, couples are really looking to make the most out of this special time​.

6. Wellness and Relaxation

Weddings are starting to incorporate wellness, with pre-ceremony yoga sessions or group spa days. This trend helps the couple, and their guests, unwind while adding a touch of indulgence to the event​.

7. Pet-Friendly Venues

With pets being family, many couples are incorporating their furry friends into their special day. From pet-friendly venues to custom outfits for pets, this trend is heartfelt and increasingly common​.

8.Content Creators

Social media is playing a bigger role in weddings as we move into 2025. Many couples are now looking past hiring just a traditional photographer or videographer to also including wedding content creators. These professionals specialise in capturing content that’s perfect for platforms such as TikTok or Instagram. It’s a modern twist that can be brought into even the most classic wedding without causing any disruption.

Trending Wedding Dresses for 2025

Fashion choices in 2025 will see a mix of tradition and innovation. Expect minimalistic yet elegant styles with clean lines, natural fabrics, and unexpected details like coloured embroidery or detachable skirts when it comes to wedding dress trends in 2025.

When it comes to coloured embroidery, it’s becoming increasingly common for brides to add a little bit of subtle colour to their dress to match their personal style. Think blush pink, powder blue, or even golden hues to bring a unique twist to your wedding gown.

The detachable skirts are exactly what they seem. An overskirt or cape offers you versatility as you can completely change your look from ceremony to reception.

Sustainability is also influencing dress choices, with vintage and second-hand bridal gowns becoming increasingly popular​.

Remember though, you don’t have to choose any ‘trending dresses’ for your wedding. Your day should be uniquely yours and there is no truer time for this then when it comes to the dress.

Trending Venues and Decor

Rustic-chic venues like barns or countryside manors remain a favourite, but modern industrial spaces are also gaining in popularity. Décor trends are leaning towards multifunctionality, with minimalist designs that double as take-home guest favours.​
