Wedding Trends We are Loving in 2025!
This year is shaping up to be a year full of personality, color, and eco-conscious choices that feel just as good as they look. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or a full-blown party, here are five of the most exciting wedding trends we’re seeing (and loving) this year.
1. Bold Color Palettes Are Having a Moment
Classic hues like blush and ivory aren't going anywhere, but this year’s couples are turning up the volume with rich, expressive colors. Picture deep reds, earthy terracotta, romantic lavender, and bold, layered palettes. It’s less about keeping things minimal and more about making a statement that’s personal, vibrant, and full of meaning.
How to bring it into your day: Try colored taper candles down your tablescape, floral arrangements with punchy tones, or even a bold ribbon around your bouquet.
2. Thrifted Touches with Vintage Soul
In a world where fast everything is the norm, couples are slowing it down and choosing intentional, sustainable details—especially when it comes to décor and guest favors.
Cue the vintage china! There’s nothing more charming than a mis-matched table full of thrifted floral plates, glassware with personality, and heirloom-inspired flatware. Not only does it photograph beautifully, it gives your guests an experience that feels both luxe and nostalgic.
Let’s not forget the favors. Instead of mass-produced trinkets, we’re seeing couples hit up their local thrift shops for small, personal items—think vintage keychains, tea cups, or handwritten notes tied to mini books. It’s meaningful, sustainable, and—bonus—totally unique.
3. Intimate Guest Counts & Multi-Day Celebrations
This year, it’s less about how many guests and more about how much time you can spend with the ones you love most. Smaller guest lists mean more budget flexibility, which couples are using to create elevated experiences over multiple days.
From welcome dinners and bonfire nights to farewell brunches and spa mornings, multi-day events let your guests truly soak in every moment (and give you more time to relax and enjoy, too).
4. Aesthetic Dress Codes That Spark Joy
2025 is encouraging guests to dress the part in a way that enhances the overall experience. Think garden party chic, retro glam, or even a color-coordinated dress palette. A clear, fun dress code not only makes your photos next-level, but also gets your guests excited and involved from the start.
Pro tip: Include a mood board with your invites or wedding website to inspire your guests.
5. Personal Guest Experiences Are Everything
In 2025, weddings are becoming full-blown experiences designed to surprise, delight, and genuinely wow your guests. Couples are leaning into unique, interactive elements that make the day feel unforgettable—not just for them, but for everyone in attendance.
Think custom cocktails named after your pets, build-your-own dessert bars, audio guest books, live illustrators, or even cozy lounges with a Polaroid guestbook station. These thoughtful touches not only keep guests engaged but also create lasting memories and conversation starters that carry through the night.
