2025 Wedding Trends: Part One
With wedding planning in full throttle for couples who are getting married this year, we’ve taken a deep dive into some of the big trends for 2025 to share with you.
As the big day approaches, many couples are eagerly seeking inspiration to make their celebration a unique and unforgettable experience for all so in this first instalment of trends to watch we’re focusing on bridal beauty, wedding venues, entertainment, floral arrangements, and food and drink.
So, grab your favourite beverage (absolutely no judgment if it’s an alcoholic one) and take ten minutes to yourself to find out what is going to be BIG this year.
Bridal Beauty Trends
The year 2025 is all about embracing natural beauty and individuality. Soft, subtle makeup looks with a focus on glowing skin and accentuating features are stealing the spotlight. Neutral shades like taupe, rose gold, and warm browns have always been popular with brides but in 2025 they’re being used to give more definition. Fluffy but natural lashes along with full but perfectly groomed brows frame the face, whilst still maintaining a softness.
The colour red is making a stylish return to bridal beauty. Opt for a bold lip or just a hint of red blush on the cheeks for a striking, modern look.
Brides in 2025 are opting for romantic, effortless hairstyles that exude timeless elegance with sleek buns and ponytails being the go-to styles. A Sofia Richie inspired sleek bun is perfect for brides wanting a polished, chic look, while ponytails add a modern, fun twist.
Both are versatile and easily take you from ceremony to party without any stress.
Wedding Venue Trends
2025 is the year of unconventional wedding venues!
From enchanting vineyards and breathtaking mountaintops to historic libraries and urban lofts, couples are seeking venues that reflect their personalities and unique love stories.
Entertainment Trends
This year, in the know couples and wedding planners are embracing a new era of interactive and immersive experiences for wedding entertainment. Imagine live art installations, virtual reality booths, audio guestbooks, live illustrators and interactive food stations that create lasting memories for you and your guests.
Live music has always been popular but rather than saving the treat for the evening party couples are now using solo artists like saxophonists to help create the atmosphere early on.
Floral Trends
Exciting news! Searches for 'colourful bridal bouquet' are on fire this year, rising by a whopping 267%! It seems lovebirds are embracing vibrant hues and breaking free from the neutral and pastel botanicals of the past.
Couples are craving a burst of colour and a touch of organised chaos in their floral designs. Pinterest spills the tea with a 200% spike in searches for 'pink and orange flowers' and a 300% surge in seekers of 'vibrant wedding flowers' inspiration.
Food and Drink Trends
Food and drink experiences are becoming a real focal point of wedding celebrations in 2025.
Interactive food stations, personalised cocktail bars, and multi-course tasting menus are just a few of the innovative trends taking the spotlight.
Couples are stepping away from overly long sit-down style dinners and offering experiential food stations to their guests instead allowing them to mix and mingle through dinner whilst enjoying different types of food.
We all know the heart of the party beats at the bar, but nothing dulls the sparkle like a queue. Ready-to-drink cocktails are becoming more and more popular, allowing wait times to be kept short and the good times flowing.
