HLN
In 2025, weddings are set to become more personalised, sustainable, and experiential. Couples are moving away from traditional norms, crafting celebrations that genuinely reflect their identities.
Whether you want to go fully trend-led or are just looking for some inspiration to incorporate into your day, here are the wedding trends for 2025.
AESTHETIC
Bold and vibrant colour palettes
Gone are the days of muted hues and pastels, 2025 is all about making a statement with colour. Couples are choosing rich jewel tones, deep reds, and metallic accents. This shift allows for a more personal and lively atmosphere, with bold colours flowing through everything from floral arrangements to bridal party attire.
Sustainable and eco-friendly choices
Environmental consciousness continues to influence wedding planning, with couples opting for sustainable practices, such as using locally sourced flowers, eco-friendly invitations, and minimising waste. The concept of a ‘green wedding’ can include various elements such as attire made from organic fibres, venues that prioritise renewable energy, and menus featuring seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. There’s also a trend towards using potted plants that can be replanted after the wedding, reducing waste and contributing positively to the environment.
Multi-sensory experiences
Weddings are transforming into multi-sensory experiences, engaging guests through sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. This could involve bespoke scent diffusers (with a candle given as a wedding favour), tactile installations like textured linens, and curated playlists that evoke specific emotions, creating a fully immersive environment.
VIBE
Intimate and personalised guest experiences
There’s a noticeable shift towards smaller, more intimate weddings. By reducing guest counts, couples can allocate more resources to create a bespoke experience for their guests. This includes personalised welcome gifts, open bars all night, higher quality menus and food, and interactive elements that engage guests throughout the celebration.
Elevated culinary experiences
Food has become much more of a focal point in wedding planning, and in 2025, couples are moving beyond traditional catering, offering higher quality dining experiences. This trend includes interactive food stations, menus by respected chefs that feature regional and seasonal ingredients, and personalised cocktails that reflect the couple’s journey together.
A focus on wellbeing
Gone are the three-day weekends filled with booze. More and more weddings prioritise wellness, incorporating mindfulness practices into their wedding planning and the event itself. This includes offering yoga sessions for guests, providing healthy menu options, and creating serene spaces within the venue for relaxation.
FASHION
Gloves
In 2025, brides are elevating their look with delicate tulle, embroidered lace, and even opera-length statement gloves. Most brides are choosing elbow-length in either a sheer tulle or satin, which pairs beautifully with minimal sleeveless or strapless gowns. For an edgier look, short mesh gloves or even fingerless styles. The best part? they can be removed to switch up the look from day to night, or for different photos.
Mini dress and veil
A trend initially started by the iconic Audrey Hepburn in 1969, mini dresses for brides has only really taken off in recent years, made popular by celebrities including Whitney Port, Kourtney Kardashian and Sophia Richie Grainge. Match with a long flowing veil for the ultimate impact. One small thing to note is that most of these celebrities have opted for the mini dress as one outfit of several on their big day, with many choosing to have the official ceremony in a full gown, changing into the mini dress later in the day.
Corset style dresses
Sexy and sophisticated at the same time, corset dresses are a beautiful and popular choice for modern brides. With a structured fit, they can give a flattering, sultry effect while still looking romantic and timeless (very demure). Pair with a silk scarf for the ultimate chic look. This style flatters all body shapes, enhancing the waist and creating an hourglass silhouette that suits a range of body shapes.
