2025 Wedding Trends

As we look ahead to the weddings of 2025, it’s an exciting time for couples to shape their special day with personalized touches and emerging trends. From indulgent late-night treats to innovative twists on desserts and guest experiences, these trends are all about allowing couples’ unique personalities to take center stage on their special day.

Big and Bold

With the rising costs of flowers, many couples are opting for 1-2 statement areas to focus the floral budget. These WOW moments are often the focus of the ceremony decor, and we love seeing these statement focal points that guests can enjoy all night.

Desserts: Sweetening the Pot

Wedding cakes are traditional, not trendy so will always be in style. However, we are seeing couples leaning toward offering options that are unexpected and less established. From cookies to cheesecake and soft-serve ice cream, couples are less focused on classic and more interested in a fresh take on a selection of desserts!

Less is More

For many 2025 couples, minimal yet purposeful decor is the way to go. They’re choosing venues with natural beauty that speaks for itself, eliminating the need for excessive embellishments. This approach not only suits their aesthetic but also allows them to allocate more of their budget toward high-priority elements like food and music, creating an atmosphere that’s both elegant and meaningful.

Keeping the Party Going

As the stars come out, so does a new wedding tradition: late-night snacks! Moving beyond the classic dinner or buffet, couples are now adding a delicious late-night twist to keep the energy high. In today’s world of personalized weddings, late-night treats are more than just an afterthought—they’re part of the experience, creating memorable, joyful moments that keep guests celebrating well into the night.
