2025 Wedding Trends

1. Floral Wedding Dresses

Move over classic white wedding dresses!

Brides in 2025 are walking down the aisle in floral-inspired gowns. Think delicate embroidered blooms, watercolour-like floral prints, and bold 3D floral embellishments. These dresses bring a romantic, whimsical vibe to weddings and allow brides to showcase their personalities in stunning detail.

2. Sustainable Weddings

Eco-conscious couples are prioritising sustainability without sacrificing style. From locally sourced flowers and seasonal menus to reusable decor and digital invitations, sustainability is the ultimate trend. Even wedding favours are getting a green makeover, with items like potted plants or seeds guests can take home.

3. Live Wedding Illustrators

Hiring a live wedding illustrator to capture key moments of the day is a trend that’s both artistic and sentimental. These professionals create stunning works of art, offering couples and guests a one-of-a-kind keepsake that’s more unique than traditional photography.

4. Black and White Themes

Classic and timeless, the black and white wedding theme is making a dramatic comeback. From monochrome decor and invitations to black-tie dress codes, this trend is all about sophisticated elegance. Pops of metallic accents, like gold or silver, add a touch of glam.

5. Guest Colour Themes and Aesthetic Dress Codes

Gone are the days of vague “cocktail attire” instructions. Couples are now giving their guests clear aesthetic dress codes, such as pastel palettes, jewel tones, or even full-on themes like “Garden Party Chic.” It’s an interactive way to elevate the wedding’s visual appeal and involve everyone in the celebration.

6. Decorative Seating Plans

Seating plans are becoming a design moment of their own. Think oversized mirrors with calligraphed names, hanging installations, or creative setups that double as photo ops. These statement pieces are both functional and Instagram-worthy.

7. Heart-Shaped Wedding Cakes

Romance gets literal with the resurgence of heart-shaped wedding cakes. These nostalgic yet modern creations are often decorated with intricate piping, edible flowers, or bold color palettes, making them the centerpiece of the reception.

8. Family-Style Dinners

Couples are embracing intimacy by opting for family-style dinners. Family service dinners allows people to take what they want and leave what they don’t. By putting a selection of food in the middle of each table encourages guests to connect as they share dishes, creating a warm, communal vibe.

9. Wedding Tuxedos

Tuxes are making a comeback for grooms, bringing back a classic and sauce feel to 2025 weddings. As a bonus tuxedos aren’t just for the grooms anymore. Brides are rocking tailored tuxedos for ceremonies, receptions, or after-parties. This bold, gender-neutral trend is all about sleek sophistication and comfort.

10. Elevated Late-Night Snacks

The party doesn’t stop when the dance floor heats up, and neither does the food! Couples are treating their guests to elevated late-night snacks like pizza, mini gourmet burgers, or even bespoke dessert stations to keep energy levels high.

11. Bright and Colourful Flowers

Bold, vibrant florals are replacing muted tones this year. Couples are opting for statement arrangements featuring hot pinks, electric oranges, and sunshine yellows to create joyous, eye-catching displays.

12. Bespoke Cocktails and Wedding Shots

Signature drinks are being taken up a notch in 2025. Bespoke cocktails tailored to the couple’s tastes and themed wedding shots are replacing traditional champagne toasts, adding a personal touch to the celebrations.

13. Wedding Newspapers

Couples are surprising their guests with custom wedding newspapers filled with fun stories, wedding party bios, puzzles, and even personalised thank-you notes. These keepsakes are both practical and playful.

14. Wedding Bingo

Interactive activities like wedding bingo are becoming a hit. Guests receive bingo cards with prompts like “The bride and groom share a kiss” or “A heartfelt toast,” making the celebration even more engaging and fun.

Final Thoughts

From meaningful experiences to bold aesthetics, the 2025 wedding trends are all about personalisation and connection. Couples are reimagining traditions and prioritising moments that reflect their unique stories. Whether it’s a sustainable celebration or a black-and-white affair, this year’s trends ensure every wedding is unforgettable.
