Okay, can we just take a second to freak out over how amazing 2025 weddings are shaping up to be?! If you’re deep in the Pinterest boards, DM’ing vendors at midnight, or just daydreaming about your big day, you’re in the right place. Let’s talk about the wedding trends that brides (including me and probably you) are absolutely obsessed with this year!
Last Year Was Cute, But 2025 Is Next Level
Before we dive into this year’s biggest obsessions, let’s give a little love to 2024. We had minimalist chic, personalized favors, and interactive experiences like food trucks and live painters. It was beautiful, it was timeless, but babes, 2025 is here, and it’s giving iconic.
1. Wedding Content Creators Are a MUST
Not to be dramatic, but if you don’t have a wedding content creator, are you even getting married? These pros capture all the behind-the-scenes magic, candid moments, and Instagram/TikTok-worthy clips so you can relive your best day over and over. Think of them as your personal wedding paparazzi, making sure you get the dreamy shots and the chaotic, hilarious moments (because let’s be real, those are gold).
2. Tiny Guest Lists, Big Impact
Micro weddings and luxe elopements are taking over, and honestly? We love to see it. Fewer guests mean you can go all out on the details that actually matter to you. Whether it’s a designer dress, a private chef, or a jaw-dropping destination, intimate weddings make it all possible without sacrificing the wow factor.
3. Vintage, But Make It Yours
Grandma’s pearls? Check. Mom’s wedding veil? Check. But we’re not just borrowing, we’re reinventing. Brides are putting a fresh spin on vintage elements, mixing heirloom pieces with modern designs to create something totally unique. Sentimental and stylish? Yes, please.
4. Maximalist Energy Only
Minimalism had its moment, but 2025 is all about more is more. Over-the-top floral arrangements, bold colors, and layered textures are turning weddings into full-on sensory experiences. Think custom neon signs, statement ceilings, and table-scapes so gorgeous you’ll hesitate to actually eat on them.
5. Private Vow Readings, All The Feels
Big weddings are fun, but sometimes you just want a quiet, emotional moment with your person. More and more couples are choosing to read their vows privately before the ceremony, soaking it all in without an audience (or the pressure of not ugly crying in front of 200 people).
6. Multi-Day Weddings = More Time to Party
Why limit the fun to one day when you can stretch it into a full-on wedding experience? Brides are planning weekend-long celebrations with welcome dinners, day-after brunches, and fun activities like wine tastings or boat rides. Basically, it’s your wedding and a vacation with your favorite people.
7. Families Are Getting In On the Fun
Blended families are bringing a whole new level of love to weddings, and we are here for it. Whether it’s kids being part of the vows, unity ceremonies that include the whole family, or custom roles for loved ones, 2025 is all about making sure everyone feels included in the “I do” moment.
8. Documentary-Style Photos That Capture The Real Moments
Stiff, posed portraits? No thanks. This year, it’s all about natural, emotion-filled photos that feel like real memories. Your wedding album should look like a dreamy love story, not a school picture day, think teary-eyed first looks, laugh-out-loud toasts, and dance floor chaos at its finest.
Cheers to a Year of ICONIC Weddings
If 2025 weddings are proving anything, it’s that this year is all about making your big day as you as possible. Whether you're going big with maximalist decor, keeping it intimate with a private vow reading, or hiring a content creator to catch every single magical (and hilarious) moment, there’s no wrong way to say ‘I do.’ So, here’s to a year of next-level weddings, unforgettable memories, and celebrations that are anything but ordinary.
Happy Planning - Bride & Bow
