As we move further into 2025, celebrity weddings continue to push the boundaries of tradition, with exciting new trends taking centre stage. From the return of maxi weddings to brides embracing multiple outfit changes throughout the day, the rules are changing. Couples are no longer confined to a single dress or a simple ceremony – they’re celebrating their love with personalised details, dramatic entrances, and unique venue fusions.
Planning expert Liza Baucher, from The Wedding Shop, shares her insights with us on the most captivating wedding trends in the celebrity world, offering inspiration for couples eager to make their big day truly unforgettable.
The Rise of Maxi Weddings and Multiple Outfit Changes
“After the Covid years of mandated micro weddings, we’ve witnessed a revival of maxi weddings in 2024, with couples going all out for their big day – and this trend is continuing into 2025. We can expect nothing less for Dua Lipa’s wedding to Callum Turner. The idea of one wedding dress for the entire day is also becoming a thing of the past. Brides today are looking to change up their look throughout the celebration, and designers are meeting that demand with new collections that offer versatility. Whether it’s for the ceremony, reception, or after-party, modern brides are now embracing the opportunity to express different facets of their personality with various looks throughout the day. So the multiple bridal outfits trend will see its way into celebrity weddings for 2025 and beyond – we’re expecting Dua Lipa to wear more than one dress on her wedding day – maybe a traditionally romantic lace gown for the ceremony and then switch it up into a shorter, more playful dress for the reception.”
Unconventional Weddings & Ultra-Personalised Details
“Lady Gaga is known for being unconventional and we can expect that she and Michael Polansky will draw on the unconventional wedding trend for their wedding. From non-traditional wedding venues and catering options with a less formal feel, to alternative wedding dresses and shoes that reflect your personal style. Modern brides and grooms are embracing creative twists that make their celebrations distinct. From colourful sunglasses as playful accessories to personalised veils embroidered with meaningful poetry, contemporary trends reflect a bold mix of tradition and individuality. But ultra-personalisation goes beyond monograms and signature cocktails. It’s about weaving your story into the event, whether that’s naming tables after places you’ve travelled together or creating a photo installation that highlights key moments of your relationship. Celebrities do this seamlessly to make their big day feel uniquely theirs – and so can you!”
Drones & Dramatic Entrances
“With Adele and Rich Paul rumoured to be having a secret wedding ceremony and not disclosing any details, we can expect dramatic entrances and a location twist which is a growing trend among A-listers looking to heighten anticipation. Whether they arrive by horse-drawn carriage, make a surprise helicopter landing, or lead guests through multiple venue experiences, it’s the ultimate way to make a statement and create memorable, awe-inspiring moments.
Show-stopping florals will be big in 2025 and beyond and we can expect nothing less at Adele’s wedding with expansive floral arrangements from entrance to altar, creating a romantic, old-world feel. This trend is all about florals that command attention and transform your space into a blooming paradise. From massive suspended installations to intricate arches packed with fresh blooms, it’s a surefire way to evoke an ultra-luxe aesthetic that immediately wows your guests. The key is to balance volume and colour with the overall wedding style so the flowers look abundant but still feel cohesive.
Aerial shots and drone footage have also become a popular trend in wedding videography. These shots provide a bird’s-eye view of your wedding venue and capture the grandeur and beauty of your special day from a unique perspective. From sweeping landscapes to breathtaking aerial wedding first dances, these drone shots add a touch of cinematic magic to your wedding video.”
Indoor-Outdoor Fusion
“Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s engagement photos featured a picnic outdoor theme, showcasing the best of both worlds. We can expect this to influence their wedding theme as well – bringing natural scenery into a formal space. This trend is all about blending luxurious indoor design (like crystal chandeliers and plush seating) with organic, outdoor elements (such as live trees, greenery walls, and flowing drapery to let in fresh air). You get the intimacy of an indoor event and the romantic essence of an outdoor wedding, which celebrities adore for the picture-perfect ambience. During the pandemic, outdoor weddings became popular out of necessity, with brides seeking alternative options. However, couples seem to be sticking to the at-one-with-nature concept and are actively looking for alternative wedding venues. There’s growing interest in outdoor wedding ceremonies and receptions, as well as indoor venues decorated with greenery and foliage to bring the outdoors inside.”
