Wedding Trend Forecast 2025: What’s In and What’s Out

Its time to discuss 2025 wedding trends. The world of weddings evolves every year, bringing exciting trends into the spotlight while bidding farewell to others. Staying ahead of these trends means creating a celebration that feels fresh, personal, and uniquely you. Whether you’re newly engaged, a social media influencer looking to capture the spirit of the times, or a chic trendsetter, understanding what’s in (and what’s out) for 2025 is essential to crafting an unforgettable day.

Here, we unveil the five trends we anticipate are making their graceful exit and the ones stepping into the spotlight.

What’s Out in 2025

Every trend has its moment, but as styles mature and our tastes evolve, we find ourselves ready to move on. For 2025, here are the trends making their exit—and why they’re past their prime.

1. Disco Aesthetic

Think glitter balls, ’70s-inspired décor, and a heavy emphasis on sequins. While disco-themed weddings have enjoyed their resurgence, 2025 weddings are pivoting to more individualized sophisticated styles, leaving the glitz of disco behind.

2. Champagne Towers

Once symbols of opulence and grandeur, champagne towers are slowly morphing into clichés. Modern couples are opting for flavor-forward alternatives (more on that later!) to replace the dated notion of novelty.

3. Standard Boutonnieres

Traditional flower boutonnieres are losing charm as grooms look to accessorize with more personality. The 2025 groom seeks statement items that express his individuality beyond the standard floral pin.

4. Photobooths

The photobooth—a staple of the last decade—worked its magic at countless celebrations. Now, couples are prioritizing less staged, immersive guest experiences.

5. Large Weddings

Gone are the days of hosting 300+ guests. Intimate ceremonies and small guest lists are redefining weddings, making space for closer, meaningful connections and beautifully curated gatherings.

What’s Coming in 2025

While we wave goodbye to the old, we warmly welcome these emerging wedding trends for 2025, which promise elegance, style, and personalization.

1. Men’s Jewels

Fashion-forward grooms are stepping up their accessory game. Think bold brooches, art deco cuff links, or jeweled lapel pins that reflect their personal style. These accents bring sophistication to traditionally understated men’s wedding attire.

2. Fashion-Forward Bridal Gowns

2025 is the year of statement bridal fashion. Brides are favoring unique gowns with daring cuts, modern silhouettes, and couture-inspired details. Think adorned sleeves, bold capes, and elements of avant-garde design that make heads turn.

3. Bridal Hats

Move over, veils—hats are having their moment. From chic wide-brimmed options to delicate, floral-adorned designs, bridal hats are becoming a refreshing way for brides to express their originality. And who says you can’t do a hat and a veil?

4. Food Towers

Innovation in food presentation is making waves. Picture delectable creme puff towers or cheese and olive platters stacked sky-high, offering a modern and delicious alternative to champagne towers.

5. Unexpected Florals and Textures (Think Maximalism)

Minimalist arrangements are being replaced with lush, textured flowers that combine unconventional elements that we haven’t seen in wedding arrangements before. The result? A design aesthetic that feels extravagant yet deeply personal.

6. Intimate Guest Lists & Curated Experiences

Smaller weddings are trending, but they’re about more than trimmed guest lists. These gatherings focus on curating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved—like live painting sessions instead of photobooths or interactive food stations that keep guests engaged.

Why These Trends Matter to You

Renowned wedding planner Preston Bailey explains, “Couples want their wedding to be an extension of their love story. They’re leaning into trends that resonate with their personalities and turning away from outdated ideas.”

David Tutera adds, “The focus is squarely on guest experience. Couples are curating intimate moments that feel memorable, not just for them, but for every single guest.”

How to Incorporate These Trends into Your Wedding

Looking to blend 2025 trends into your big day? Here are some simple ways to start:

• Boutonnieres Reimagined: Elevate groom’s accessories by working closely with a jeweler or styling consultant to select pieces that add a personal flair. If you aren’t quite ready to forgo the boutonniere altogether, work with your florist to add jewelry elements into your floral boutonniere.
• Bold Bridal Gowns: Book a fitting with cutting-edge designers who specialize in non-traditional wedding fashion. Explore eye-catching fabrics, modern details, and runway-inspired looks.
• Guest Experiences: Swap out the photobooth for interactive stations—such as mixology classes, custom fragrance blending, or live music requests—that immerse guests in the celebration.
• Floral Design: Ask your florist to incorporate texture and movement into your arrangements, whether through unique color palettes or non-floral elements like ribbons or metallics.
• Food Presentation: Enhance reception dining with statement pieces like themed food towers or dessert displays that double as art.
