As we step into 2025, we love to look back and see how drastically things have changed in 365 short days. With the wedding industry poised for a dynamic transformation, couples tying the knot next year are embracing creativity, personalization, and sustainability like never before. From bold fashion statements to unforgettable guest experiences, 2025 is all about breaking traditions and setting new standards for a modern wedding.

Discover the top trends shaping how couples will say “I do” in 2025!

Draped Fabric

A la Ben Platt's 2024 Brooklyn wedding to Noah Galvin, dynamic draping in wedding decor, is set to be a hot trend for 2025/26 weddings. From softening industrial spaces to adding drama to tablescapes, it's a surprise all that some expertly draped linens can do.

Dynamic Floral Designs

This doesn't surprise us; 2024 was a year of dynamic arches and lush hanging arrangements, so a push towards even more sculptural design is to be expected. More florists are pushing the limits of traditional styles, crafting boldly unique centrepieces, bouquets, and aisle arrangements that are true works of art in their own right.

Golden Age Inspiration

Since the dawn of time (or at least weddings as we know them), couples have always looked to the past for inspiration. For 2025, we forecast a strong focus on vintage-inspired classics, incorporating family heirlooms and carefully curated antiques to harken back to the golden age of Hollywood. Think textural draping, antique gold tones, mother-of-pearl, and lots of candles!

Refined Minimalism

Couples are leaning towards minimalistic designs that focus on quality over quantity. This trend emphasizes elegant, understated decor, where a few statement pieces or a single stunning floral arrangement take centre stage rather than an abundance of decorations.

Drop Waist Gowns

With basque waistlines taking the bridal industry by storm in 2024, we can't see the elongated waistline trend getting off the rails soon! Drop-waist wedding dresses, which elongate the torso and add a touch of vintage flair, are perfect for brides who want a unique twist on the traditional gown. They offer a nod to the flapper styles of the 1920s.

Wedding Content Creators

There has been a noticeable rise in the popularity of personalised wedding social media posts, so it seems obvious that dedicated content creators should be included in this list. More and more couples are eager to receive a packet of candid material delivered in a much shorter timeline than your traditional photographer/videographer team, with the added bonus that their witty Instagram captions have already been written for them!

Cake Vignettes

A break from the rational sky-high cake tiers, we predict a rise in longer, lower cakes surrounded by cascading flowers, fruits, and decor touches. This unique cake style adds a dramatic and elegant touch to wedding receptions, ensuring the dessert is a feast for the eyes and the palate.

Upholstery Fabric

Another instance of guided age influences, brocade and jacquard, lustrous, high-quality woven fabrics featuring intricate designs, are set to be the wedding dress fabric for 2025. Heavy and structured, traditional upholstery fabric makes for dramatic draping and gives the gown a rich, heavy look. We're excited to see long trains of intricately detailed woven silk sweeping down the aisle in 2025.
