2025 Wedding Theme Ideas

Refined Naturale

This theme blends overgrown florals with chic wedding fashion for an organic, romantic vibe. It’s an elevated, modern take on the classic boho theme, combining nature-inspired elements with touches of sophistication. Think refined, yet effortless details that create a beautifully rustic yet polished atmosphere: organic fabrics, light, earthy hues, and wild bouquets. Steer away from straight lines and sharp contrasts, and instead, adopt an airy aesthetic that mirrors the effortless beauty of nature.

Retro Romance

Give your guests a fun trip down memory lane with a retro wedding theme. Mismatched bridesmaid dresses, vintage-inspired linens, and bold pops of color set a playful yet romantic mood. Add in retro touches like an old-school photo booth, velvets or flannels, a vintage wedding cake or vinyl records to tie the theme together.

Old Money / Ralph Lauren

If timeless heritage speaks to you, the Old Money Ralph Lauren aesthetic embodies understated luxury and tradition. This theme can be described as regal, sophisticated, or even collegiate. Think light neutrals and rich, muted tones like navy, burgundy, and camel, paired with classic details like leather accents, plaid patterns, and equestrian-inspired decor. With vintage touches and refined materials, this theme exudes quiet confidence and sophistication that never fades.

Eco-Chic

If you love nature and want your wedding to be as beautiful as it is sustainable, an eco-chic theme is the perfect choice. Think pastel tones complemented by potted plants as centerpieces, reusable cups that add charm to your table settings, and soft lace details for a vintage-inspired touch. Drapery creates a romantic, airy feel, while locally-sourced flowers and decor bring an environmentally conscious element to the day. This theme combines elegant details with thoughtful sustainability for a wedding that’s both stylish and meaningful.

Regency Era

Thanks to Bridgerton, the Regency era has become a beloved source of inspiration for weddings. Starting with fashion,  go with corset or empire-waist gowns, delicate cap sleeves and bridal gloves paired with statement jewelry and updos. Decorate the space with candleabras, gold accents, and vintage china for a pre-electricity ambiance. Lush floral arrangements with roses in pastel shades add a romantic touch, while personal, sentimental details can help tell your unique love story. This theme blends period charm with heartfelt romance for a truly unforgettable day.
