With wedding trends constantly in motion, it can be very difficult to keep track of what’s hot and what’s most certainly, not. Whether you’re deep in the planning stages or just looking for some inspiration, we’ve got you covered – here are our top 5 wedding trends of 2025.
1. Hometown Hosting
Fancy far-away venues are out, hometown ceremonies are in. Many couples have started opting to start their journeys together where it all began – in the comfort of their local town. There are several benefits that coincide with choosing to host your wedding in your hometown; family and friends are able to easily attend, which in turn allows for more personal celebrations, meaning sentimentality is certain to be rife! If these qualities sound as appealing to you as they have done for so many others, why not start your romantic journey together in the warm, familiar embrace of where you grew up?
2. Cosier Ceremonies
In conjunction with tying the knot at home, couples are also beginning to shift away from larger, grandiose ceremonies in favour of intimate celebrations with fewer guests. Throwing a big bash with triple digit attendee numbers is certainly a lively, although costly affair and definitely still appeals to many around the world, however, many couples are gravitating towards the personability associated with smaller celebrations. Quality time and guest selection are the driving motivators behind the uptick in this trend, allowing couples to curate their perfect day with the perfect people present.
3. Trendy Technology
As we continue to speed into an era filled to the brim with technological advancement, it’s no surprise that many couples are looking to bring the marvels of the new age into their wedding celebrations. Whether it’s to liven up the entertainment for your guests in the form of 360-degree photobooths, providing a theatrical flair to the proceedings via dramatic lighting options or providing a dedicated livestream for those unable to attend the festivities. If you’re seeking out wedding shots that breach the upper limits of what you thought possible, why not hire a drone photographer to send some tech skyward, capturing the magic of your ceremony from a previously unconsidered angle? With advancements being made every year, one thing is for certain – the options are limitless.
4. Wedding Weekenders
Gone are the times of a single day celebration. Long form bashes are beginning to emerge in the current season, with couples seeking to extend their nuptial festivities across a number of days. As venues are often more readily available and in turn, affordable, throughout the week, many couples are opting to keep things moving through weekend-long merriments dedicated to keeping the celebrations going! Couples are partaking in this new trend through a number of methods, from breakfast and brunch parties through to exciting weekend activities, allowing guests who may not be able to make the allocated date able to enjoy and immerse themselves in the festivities. Weekend-long weddings and extended festivities are an excellent advancement for both the couples and their guests, ensuring relaxation, immersion and inclusion are at the forefront when enjoying the beautiful proceedings that accompany that all-important wedding fervour.
5. Fantastic Food Options
Curating the perfect menu for your wedding celebrations can be a monumentally stressful task, no matter the number of guests being catered for. However, many couples are choosing to bring variety to their proceedings through the introduction of food trucks and several other inventive culinary choices. Eliminate the worry surrounding allergies and picky eaters through hiring a number of trucks, bringing the tastes of the world all the way to your intimate ceremony, ensuring that all in attendance will be satiated. It doesn’t stop with trucks, either! Interactive dessert stations, make-your-own cocktail booths and grazing tables are also leading the charge towards culinary excellence via wedding festivities, bringing both engaging activities and refined consideration for your guest’s dietary habits to the feast. Leave everyone feeling satisfied by spicing up your food choices in 2025!
