2025 Wedding Trends

This 2025 wedding feature brings together ideas for a celebration that feels personal, from smaller guest lists to thoughtful details. Use the ideas that suit your plans, budget, and guests.

Eco-Chic I Do's: Where Romance Meets Sustainability

For a wedding with less waste, consider digital invitations, reusable decorations, and a plan for leftover food. Ask the venue what materials it accepts before choosing confetti. Small practical choices can make the celebration more thoughtful without taking away from the occasion.

Perfectly Petite: The Magic of Intimate Celebrations

Small, private weddings started to become a thing shortly after the pandemic. Being forced to have smaller weddings allowed everything to be more intimate. The bride and groom are more in the moment because they don't have to worry about all of those guests. And the guests can connect with the bride and groom on a deeper level because there isn't as much commotion. Not to mention, everything will be easier to coordinate and can reduce wedding costs! Think about all the super special moments you will be able to create with your closest family and friends!

Digital Dreams: Love in the Age of Innovation

Digital tools can help with planning and sharing memories. Options include online invitations, a photo booth that sends pictures to guests, and a digital guest book. An interactive dance floor is another way to personalize the reception. Keep printed information or a simple alternative available for guests who prefer it.

Other trends we noticed on the rise involve features of the ceremony, not so much the overall theme of the wedding.

• Big, Bold Flower Arrangements are becoming the hottest new trend this year. Paired with elegant wedding suits for men, those summer weddings will be so much more beautiful with fresh seasonal flowers all around you!

• Personalized Wedding Favors give guests a keepsake connected to the couple. Coordinate the presentation with the celebration’s colors, just as you might choose accessories for a white suit. Keep the gift useful and personal.

• Objects as Invitations is one of the cutest new trends that’s becoming increasingly popular. While save-the-dates and invites are usually beautifully crafted stationery, some couples have their invitations made out of other objects with their wedding information on them. For example, we have seen a (plastic) martini glass inscribed with the couple's name, wedding date, and venue location.

• Artistic Cakes are another trend that is taking over! Traditional wedding cakes are always beautiful, but many are choosing to show off their personal style with cake! Whether it has multiple tiers, fun shapes, or an insane amount of fondant flowers, your cake can quickly become a beautiful centerpiece. Just don't make it too beautiful; you may not want to cut and eat it!
