Brides and grooms, we realize that there are so many wedding trends out there and it can get overwhelming trying to determine the perfect trend or trends for you. With that in mind, we chose to highlight trends that you won’t regret opting for when looking at your wedding photos years from now. Call me biased but this list does consists of some of my absolute favorites.

Without further ado, let’s dive in!

1. Branded Weddings with Personalized Touches

Branding your wedding in 2025 can be beneficial because it allows you to create a unique and personalized experience that reflects your love story, stands out from traditional weddings and provides a cohesive aesthetic across all aspects of your event, from invitations to décor. It helps make it a more memorable and meaningful event for you and your loved ones

2. Bring the Drama with DRAMA-tic Drapery

Event draping solves limitless problems. It offers the ability to transform a space by adding color and texture, concealing unsightly areas, creating distinct zones within a venue, designing a grand entrance, setting the mood for an event, and providing a more cohesive and personalized look by tailoring the fabric and design to match the occasion and theme. This ultimately elevates the overall guest experience. Draping when done well can double as a source of decor as well as functionality.

3. Jaw Dropping Venues

I have yet to work with a couple that did not want a drop dead gorgeous, absolutely stunning venue, a venue that speaks for itself and is capable of giving even the most discerning and skeptical of guest goosebumps. From lovely sprawling driveways to well manicured and landscaped grounds. When it comes to the venues, no request by a couple has seemed too outlandish, even a prior request by a forever Donna Nolisa Designs bride to help her find a chateau style venue in New York that was inspired by the luxe architecture of Versailles.

4. Heart Tugging Sentiments

It is becoming increasingly popular at weddings to include sentiments and tributes that not only focus on celebrating the couple's love and expressing joy for their union but that also acknowledge loved ones whose presence is missed because they may are sick or have passed away.

5. Unexpected Surprise Elements

In 2025, weddings are all about creating unforgettable moments that go beyond the expected. Couples are elevating their celebrations with surprise entertainment, like flash mob performances, aerialists during cocktail hour, or unexpected late-night food trucks serving gourmet bites. Interactive experiences, such as hidden speakeasies revealed mid-reception or secret fireworks displays, add an element of wonder and delight. These unexpected touches turn a wedding into a multi-sensory experience, leaving guests raving long after the last dance. For couples who want to wow their guests and craft a truly bespoke celebration, surprise elements are the perfect way to infuse personality, luxury, and a bit of magic into the day.

6. Larger Than Life Celebration Cakes

Tall wedding cakes are a show piece in their own right and make for an eye catching centerpiece. Even if you are having an intimate wedding, you can still opt for a larger cake. Many cake artisans are helping achieve the tall cake desire while still being resource aware by adding dummy tiers so you can achieve new heights without any waste.

7. Vintage Decor Elements

Vintage décor is making a grand comeback as a top wedding trend for 2025, bringing timeless elegance and nostalgic charm to modern celebrations. Couples are embracing antique-inspired details, such as ornate candle holders, lace table runners, vintage china, and Art Deco accents, to create a romantic and sophisticated atmosphere. Whether it’s through vintage lounge setups, retro-inspired signage, or classic typewriter guest books, this trend transforms weddings into an enchanting journey through time.

8. Wedding Dresses That Exaggerate the Waist

Say yes to a basque wedding dress. The basque waist on a wedding dress is such a flattering silhouette because it hugs and defines the waist. It offers not only a romantic look but also a timeless and elegant one. Another and perhaps the biggest pro for these types of dresses is that they photograph beautifully.

9. Serpentine Guest Tables

These eye catching tables are unique and visually striking. They maximize space and encourage social interaction amongst guest. Through using them I’ve experienced that they are good for pretty much all wedding styles. They are ideal for statement decor and when tastefully decorated, they photography exquisitely.

10. Cinematic Wedding Footage

More and more couples are foregoing traditional digital photography and videography and leaning more towards the nostalgia that film photography delivers. It has a romantic, soft quality that you don’t always get from digital photography.

11. Sustainable Eco-Friendly Wedding

There are so many ways to host a sustainable and eco friendly wedding celebration that is still beautiful, elegant and exquisite. Using digital or recycled invitations, choosing eco-conscious venues, and incorporating reusable decor like dried flowers and potted plants are just a few ways to achieve this. Opt for ethical fashion with organic or secondhand attire, and prioritize locally sourced and seasonal catering.

12. Bold Color Palettes

Vibrant palettes and bold color schemes are back!!! Couples can showcase their personalities through color. Vibrant hues break the traditional mold, serve as mood enhancers, intensify a venues decor and are appropriate for all seasons.

13. After Party Dresses That WOW!!!

Embellished bodices, bubble skirts, ostrich feathers, fun and flirty hems that accentuate a brides beautiful legs are a big trend for 2025 especially for your reception after party when its time to turn all the way up!

14. Adding Content Creators To Your List Of Must Have Vendors

Lets face it…, social media is huge and so many individuals are on at least one of the many platforms. Couples in 2025 are hiring professional content creators to ensure their wedding is shared in real time across these outlets. Content creators also help the couple start reliving their wedding day as soon as mere hours after.
