Planning a wedding in 2025? You’re in luck, because the trends heading our way are full of personality, charm, and vibrant details that will make your special day one to remember. From bold colour choices to unique touches that scream you, here are five trends to watch for in 2025.
1. Colourful Weddings Are Stealing the Show
If you're one of those brides who loves all things bright and bold, 2025 is your year. While white weddings will always be classic, colourful weddings are making a big splash. We're talking about mixing bold hues like deep emerald with burnt orange, or soft lilacs with sunny yellows. It’s all about breaking tradition and filling the day with shades that reflect your personality. Trust me, a sea of colour in your floral arrangements, bridesmaid dresses, and even your cake can make everything feel even more magical. Plus, those wedding photos? Absolute stunners.
2. Patterns and Cottage-core Vibes
For those who dream of running barefoot through a field of flowers, welcome to the world of cottagecore weddings. Imagine wildflower bouquets, patterned tablecloths, and earthy textures everywhere you look. It’s all about that natural, effortless charm. Patterns are also making their way into bridal fashion. You might see floral printed dresses or intricate lace designs that give off a boho, laid-back vibe. Whether you're tying the knot in a meadow, garden, or barn, this trend is perfect for creating that cosy, intimate feel.
3. Curated Menus That Tell a Story
Gone are the days when couples just chose the standard chicken-or-fish menu. In 2025, it’s all about crafting a menu that tells a story. Think farm-to-table dishes featuring ingredients sourced from meaningful places, or menus inspired by the couple’s travels. A curated menu can also be a reflection of cultural heritage, showcasing traditional family recipes passed down through generations. It’s one way to give guests not just a meal, but a personal experience they’ll talk about for years. And let’s be honest - good food makes everything better!
4. Sustainable Celebrations
Eco-conscious weddings are becoming more and more popular, and in 2025, sustainability will be top of mind for many couples. From sourcing local flowers and eco-friendly decor to renting attire and choosing venues that prioritize green practices, couples are thinking about how their special day can leave a positive impact on the planet. You can also get creative with eco-friendly favours, like donating to a charity on behalf of your guests or giving away small potted plants they can take home and grow.
5. Unconventional Entertainment
Your wedding isn’t just about the ceremony - it’s about creating an unforgettable experience for your guests, too. Couples are stepping outside the box when it comes to entertainment, offering everything from live painting sessions, where an artist captures the day in real-time, to aerial performers, interactive photo booths, or even petting zoos (yes, really!). The goal is to give your guests something unexpected and fun that makes them remember your wedding as not just a day but an experience.
These are just a few of the exciting trends to watch for in 2025. Whether you’re planning a wedding full of colour, looking to embrace the cottagecore aesthetic, or dreaming of an unforgettable menu, remember to make your wedding reflect who you are. After all, the best weddings are the ones that feel uniquely you.
