Creating unique and memorable experiences, such as themed or destination weddings, is a trend for the upcoming year. I am expecting more themed weddings on the horizon, often reflecting personal passions or aesthetics, like “old Hollywood glam” or “American countryside” in 2025.

Vintage and Art Deco-Inspired Aesthetics

Art Deco-inspired elements are making a comeback, featuring geometric patterns, lavish materials like velvet and gold accents, and a glamorous, 1920s aesthetic. Vintage-inspired attire and decor, particularly inspired by the ’70s and ’90s, also will be trending for weddings in 2025.

Micro-weddings are still popular, but with an emphasis on lavish, intimate experiences. Think private dining experiences, luxury glamping setups, or weekend retreats that allow for quality time with a close-knit group of guests.

Pro Tip: minimalist decor, clean lines, and neutral color palettes are best for micro-weddings in 2025.

It is one of my favorite wedding trends ever! Couples are blending traditions from different cultures, incorporating diverse elements into their ceremonies and receptions to celebrate their heritage. I believe, that this wedding trend will stay with us not only in 2025, but in next few years too, as well.

Sustainability is taking center stage, with couples opting for eco-friendly options like online-invitations, locally sourced flowers, and biodegradable or renting decor. I love this trend and believe that our planet will tell us “Thank you” one day. I am expecting that more venues prioritizing energy efficiency and sustainable practices. Also, don’t forget about choosing eco-friendly fabrics and ethical brands for engagements and wedding attire in 2025!

Expert Tip:

Fresh flowers are natural but last only a few days and require significant resources like water, pesticides, and transportation, making them a single-use item that often feels wasteful. Artificial flowers are made of plastic, but they can be reused for multiple events or repurposed after the wedding, which extends their life, reduce waste and offer a budget-friendly way to achieve lavish decor.By Natalie,

Statement floral designs with oversized bouquets and floral installations that spill over tables or create immersive backdrops are one of the wedding trends 2025. This bold floral arrangements paired with minimalistic decor is striking!

Dried flowers, particularly in natural tones or paired with bright pops of color, will also stay in trends.

Expert Tip:

Giant flowers, for example, have gained popularity, and I’m seeing more of them than ever before. Couples want their weddings to feel one-of-a-kind, something guests haven’t seen before.By Natalie,

A long banquet table with a playful twist— one of the hottest wedding trends of the year. These winding tables, while logistically challenging and requiring extra effort for rentals, are becoming a favorite for couples planning intimate receptions in spring or summer 2025.

Pro Tip: this design concept works beautifully in natural settings, whether in a lush meadow or an arid desert landscape, adding a soft, curving elegance to traditional banquet tables.

The color combination for a wedding still will depend on personal style and the overall wedding theme of the event. But I think that on upcoming weddings we definitely will see Mocha Mousse — Pantone’s 2025 color. Mocha is a warm, muted brown with undertones of roasted chocolate and burnt orange. These rich hues blend with a creamy tint, softening its deep tone.

This color is incredibly versatile and pairs well with almost anything. Depending on what it’s paired with, it has different effects. When placed next to any shade of blue, from soft baby blue to rich navy, mocha’s warmth stands out. Combined with olive or sage green, mocha creates a serene, nature-inspired feel. Another trendy pairing is mocha with millennial pink.

Pro Tip: brass, gold or pops of silver will offset the subdued, gentle nature of this color, and these subtle visual anchors can counterbalance the warmth of Mocha Mousse.

According to ChatGPT and Gemini predictions, bold colors, like jewel tones (emerald, sapphire), and unexpected combinations (orange with blush, or teal with terracotta) are replacing traditional pastels in 2025. Earthy, rich colors will be popular too, paired with bright accents for a striking look.

Copilot AI predicts, that on wedding 2025 we will see soft, romantic colors like blush, sage green and gold accents.

Unique Attire Choices

In 2025 brides are going to experiment with unique dresses featuring sheer, layered fabrics, non-traditional colors, and modern silhouettes. For grooms, colored and patterned suits, like emerald green or burgundy, and mix-and-match styling are popular.

Couples prefer to infuse their personalities into every aspect of the wedding, from decor to ceremonies. The Branded Wedding is definitely a trend for 2025 and 2026, as well.

Trendy couples are adding personalized touches for their guests with custom crests, monograms, unique newsletter fonts, and typography-inspired stationery. Moreover, you can personalize and customize even your wedding songs! Personalizing the lyrics can add a sweet touch and a story that’s all yours.

Using of edible favors is one of the tastiest wedding trends 2025. Personalized cookies, chocolates, and mini bottles of locally produced honey or olive oil make for delicious and practical gifts that guests will love.

Another impressive trend is the inclusion of experiential favors. During the last years more and more couples offering unique experiences like wine or whiskey tastings, cooking classes, or spa treatments as wedding favors. These experiential gifts create memorable moments for guests and add a touch of luxury and sophistication to the wedding. I am predicting, this tendency will stay with us up to next few years, at least.
