2025 Wedding Trends

1. Intimate Weddings Aren’t Going Anywhere

Micro weddings are here to stay! Colorado-based photographer Katie Fletcher notes, “Micro weddings! I have seen many more of these coming up, which is letting couples be super intentional about their details and plans for the day.” Milly Baine of The Rose Reflective adds, “I think more couples are continuing to lean into weddings with smaller guest lists. This does not mean they are skimping on their wedding. They are just more intentional about who is in attendance. Eloping continues to grow in popularity, too, and it is not just adventure elopements. Courthouse weddings have seen a huge uptick, and I do not see that changing.”

2. Statement Headpieces and Hats

The scene in The Parent Trap where Hallie poses with her mom’s model totally comes to mind! From interesting hats to jewel hairpieces, couples and guests are expressing their style with interesting headwear.  We’re noticing the rise of 1920s beaded headpieces, the return of sophisticated birdcages, and more. This trend isn’t just for brides; grooms and guests are joining in, making it a fun, fashion-forward addition to 2025 wedding styles.

3. Halter Neck Dresses

Halter neck dresses are bringing a modern twist to bridal fashion. High-neck styles of dresses look great on several body types while also bringing sophistication and elegance. This style is perfect for brides looking to make a bold statement while remaining stylish and comfortable.

4. Corset Dresses

2025 is all about distinctive wedding dress styles, with corset tops making a statement due to their vintage flair and flattering structure. Michigan-based photographer Catie Eovaldi predicts, “Alternative wedding dresses are going to be big,” allowing brides to create a look that’s all their own.

5. Fashion Moments for the Groom 

Seattle wedding photographer tmInspired points out, “We’re seeing grooms step away from traditional suits and embrace relaxed yet stylish looks, often incorporating unique colors and textures that reflect their personality and the wedding theme. One groom made his jacket with like a million blue sequins! Incredible and so much fun on the dance floor. I feel like wedding day outfit change trends focus a lot on the bride, and I think an LGBTQ couple deserves the spotlight too.”

6. Curvy Aisles

Ceremony setups are becoming more elaborate, with winding aisles and statement decor. A beautifully arranged, curved aisle leading to the altar adds an unexpected visual element and creates a more intimate feel.

8. Drapery as Decor

We’re loving the rise in drapery–and we don’t mean the dress style. More wedding designers and venues are adding lush fabric installations to elevate their ceremony and reception spaces. White or neutral colored fabrics bring an editorial flare to a space, while colorful textiles can bring a sense of artistry and cheerfulness. A perfect, versatile addition to your wedding decor.

9. Fruit Centerpieces

New York-based photographer Brittany Ford predicts that “fruits and vegetables will be used in table decor.” This trend brings a fun pop of color and an earthy vibe to centerpieces, mixing elegance with a bit of playful charm.

10. Creative Dessert Spreads

Gone are the days of a single wedding cake! Catie shares, “I’ve also noticed my 2025 couples are not having a wedding cake and instead are doing a dessert spread.” Couples are opting for a variety of sweet treats, from vintage-style cakes to candy bars and dessert stations featuring unique offerings.

11. Nostalgic and Fun Late-Night Snacks

Late-night snacks are evolving, too! Fun options like pancake stations or gelato bars ensure guests stay fueled and entertained well into the night. Wedding planners Dubrovnik Luxury Weddings observe, “Late-night snacks have changed a lot. We often have a pancake station or pizza and gelato station.”

12. Classic Portraits

Reviving the painting-like group portrait, couples opt for posed, elegant shots inspired by old-world elegance. This trend combines timelessness with contemporary style, creating artistic portraits that feel like works of art.

13. Multi-Day Celebrations

More couples are choosing multi-day celebrations, allowing more time to savor their wedding experience with loved ones. Rose Groves of Matlai Photography shares, “I see more couples choosing to have a small vow ceremony or elopement, and then having big celebrations with friends and family.”
