The best 20+1 wedding trends for 2025

1. Avant-garde & colored wedding gowns

Even though white dresses remain the most popular choice, there’s an increasing number of brides who opt for vibrant hues, such as blush pink and burgundy, to make a bold statement.

Furthermore, besides the clean lines, regal sleeves and fantastic florals, sculptural wedding gowns are rising in demand. From voluminous skirts to 3D feathers, such fashionable pieces are perfect for capturing everyone’s attention!

2. Long, textured veils

Ethereal veils are making a comeback in 2025, adding a touch of sophistication and whimsy to your bridal ensembles.

Whether paired with a ball gown or an A-line wedding dress, they create stunning photo opportunities while making you feel like a princess on your special day.

Intricate laces, textured fabrics and beading are great elements to experiment with to turn a traditional veil into a modern one.

3. Maximalist wedding décor

If a lavish, extravagant decoration sparks joy in your soul, you’ve chosen the ideal year to get married.

Think of opulent floral arrangements, cascading greenery and ornate table settings adorned with refined details.

All these, combined with a dramatic arch, candles and baroque lightning, compose a mesmerizing setting that elevates your celebration’s ambiance.

4. Giant cakes

Wave goodbye to modest cakes and say hello to elaborate large ones. With multiple tiers, fancy designs and luxurious embellishments, they become your reception’s highlight and a decadent dessert option for your guests.

The most trending styles for 2025 are the

5. Flowing hair

2025 is all about authenticity. This is why many brides prefer unstructured hairstyles over pompous ones.

Paired with subtle accessories, these effortless hairstyles capture the essence of grace, allowing you to shine on your special day with an air of elegance.

6. Bold color schemes

Following a similar pattern to this year, 2025 weddings will be equally colorful. Yet, the range of trending colors is broad, including both deeper tones and softer ones.

Metallics (especially gold) are fantastic to be incorporated into every aspect of your wedding, from the bridal party attire to the reception décor.

More popular 2025 color combinations include

Dusty rose & sage green
Blush pink & gold
Orange & pink & yellow

7. Creative floral decoration

Flowers will take center stage in 2025 weddings as they’re predicted to be true art pieces!

From hanging installations to intricate tablescapes and innovative structures of all heights, our expert floral designers push the boundaries to create awe-inspiring displays.

Additionally, combining unusual color palettes and flowers, such as purple hydrangeas with yellow sunflowers, promises to leave a lasting impression on everyone who attends!

8. Unconventional bride bouquets

2025 is a year of change, and bouquets are part of it.

Unique shapes and unexpected elements, such as cascading arrangements and asymmetrical designs, are replacing traditional round bouquets.

Here are more wedding bouquet ideas for 2025:

Choose a monochromatic bouquet to emit sophistication
Go for eye-catching bright blooms to showcase your spirited personality
Select wildflowers if your wedding theme is rustic
Get inventive by creating a bouquet purse or one made of non-floral elements

9. State-of-the-art rings

As trends pass and go, one thing remains timeless: your engagement ring.

While clear gemstones will always be classic pieces, an increasing number of couples embrace colored gemstones, such as sapphires and emeralds.

In 2025, we’re also seeing the revival of diamond halos, adding vintage glamor to your looks.

Fancy cuts and bezel settings are also cherished due to their modern aesthetics and contemporary designs.

10. Candid film photography

Candid photography is experiencing a resurgence in popularity in 2025 as couples seek authentic images that capture the raw emotions of their big day.

While there’s always room for a pose, photographers focus on capturing the couple’s most genuine interactions, resulting in images that tell a heartfelt story.

Adding a nostalgic look through the distinctive film aesthetic is yet another big trend for 2025 due to its artistic quality.

11. Inclusive food menus

An inclusive menu is a must if you wish to provide your guests with a stellar experience.

Accommodate their diverse dietary needs by offering various food options, including

vegetarian
vegan and
gluten-free

With such an initiative, you can ensure that all your guests feel welcomed and well-fed, creating a memorable celebration for everyone.

12. Immersive food and beverage experiences

This one is among my favorite 2025 wedding trends.

There’s no better way to elevate your wedding reception than by incorporating refined food stations and cocktail bars.

These provide uniqueness and excitement to the culinary experience, allowing guests to indulge in eclectic flavors while socializing.

13. Long rectangular tables

While round tables might feel more cozy, promoting interaction among everyone, more and more couples choose long rectangular tables. And I’m loving it!

With a sleek and modern aesthetic, they offer versatility in décor, allowing for stunning floral arrangements and elegant table runners.

Whether you're hosting an intimate wedding or a grand affair, it goes without a doubt that long rectangular tables add a touch of sophistication and style to your reception.

14. Champagne towers

Champagne towers are making a glamorous comeback in 2025, evoking a sense of old-world charm and grandeur.

So, if you want to infuse your wedding reception with a sprinkle of extravagance, they make for the perfect centerpiece.

15. Sustainability

Embracing eco-conscious wedding practices to reduce environmental footprint goes beyond being a mere trend. It has become a necessity among many couples.

From digital invitations to biodegradable confetti, the commitment to a greener planet is here to stay.

At Bespoke Weddings Santorini, we stand against any type of environmental abuse. Thus, we couldn’t be happier collaborating with thoughtful couples with the same values!

16. Technology integration

Technology is a huge part of our lives and has proudly entered the realm of weddings too.

Some of the most widespread tech-related 2025 wedding trends include

Designing interactive websites and apps that allow guests to be involved in the planning process
Creating smart invitations with venue maps and other important real-time information
Livestreaming the ceremony, enabling remote guests to immerse themselves in the moment despite the distance

17. Multi-day wedding event

Long are the days when couples used to organize a single-day celebration. In the last few years, we’ve seen a beautiful shift to planning multi-day wedding retreats.

In 2025, this trend will reign supreme as it’s a fantastic way to impress and pamper your guests during their stay.

Welcome dinners, farewell brunches and bonding games are only a couple of activities you can plan for your loved ones.

And don’t forget that these experiences are ideal for your relatives to get to know your significant other’s family!

18. Intimate celebration

Even though there will always be couples eager to share their happiness through a grand affair, micro-weddings keep rising in popularity.

The main reason is that they’re perfect for spending quality time with each guest and, most importantly, with your new husband/wife.

Whether it's a cozy local ceremony or a destination wedding with close family and friends, these celebrations prioritize authenticity, customization and genuine connection.

19. Wedding villas

Luxurious wedding villas are emerging as a prized choice for couples seeking a private setting for their special day.

These exclusive venues offer breathtaking views, top-notch amenities and personalized services tailored to your needs.

Many of them also provide guest accommodations, which is a superb add-on if you’re looking for both comfort and indulgence.

Just imagine exchanging vows and celebrating your love surrounded by natural beauty in such an intimate and romantic atmosphere!

20. Out-of-peak season dates

While summer months have historically been the most coveted, wedding date preferences are shifting.

Choosing off-peak season dates has multiple benefits, such as greater venue availability and milder weather conditions.

With fewer tourist crowds, you can also expect a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for yourself and your guests, especially if you want to tie the knot in a world-renowned destination like Santorini.

So, here are the best months I suggest for my lovely couples to get married:

May
June
September
October

21. Destination weddings

This is definitely my all-time favorite wedding trend! While destination weddings aren’t new as a concept, they still reign supreme in 2025.

And for a good reason!

Who wouldn’t want to say “I do” amid picturesque vineyards or against the backdrop of the famous Santorini caldera as the sunset paints the sky golden pink?

Opting for a destination wedding gives you the opportunity to combine your love for travel with your wedding festivities, creating a unique experience that will be engraved in your memories forever.
