I know, I know—it’s not January. It’s February. But just because we’re one month into the new year doesn’t mean it’s too late to make some fun AF predictions about 2025 wedding trends.
Because obviously, you two should do whatever feels totally true to you… But also, hopefully, these 2025 wedding trend predictions might spark some banger ideas of your own.
Let’s f*cking go.
But First, 2024 Wedding Trends Wrapped
2024 was a sick year for weddings, and some of my absolute favorite wedding trends I saw were:
Mix-and-Match Bridesmaid Dresses
Whether it was bridesmaids wearing different colored dresses (or shoes!) or holding color-coordinating bouquets, at Kylee B Photography we saw bridal parties shaking sh*t up (and I absolutely loved every second of it).
Grooms (Or Tux-Wearing Peeps) Stepping Up Their Style
Don’t get me wrong, if black tuxes are your vibe, then hell yes, but… in 2024, people were getting down and dirty with other colors. I’m talking all-white suits, lilac suits, and even colorful and funky pocket squares. Check it:
Couples Actually Enjoying Cocktail Hour
Your wedding isn’t a photoshoot, it’s a party—and one that you should actually get to enjoy. And Kylee B 2024 couples understood the hell out of that assignment, spending less time posing for the camera during cocktail hour and more time sipping drinks and hanging with the people who showed up to celebrate them.
(Which hilariously enough makes for abso-freaking-lutely amazing photos.)
2025 Wedding Trends That Are Probably Going to Be Iconic
Now, I’m not saying this is exactly what’s going to happen, but based on the stupid amount of time I spend obsessing over the wedding industry, I would say it’s likely you’ll be seeing these wedding trends everywhere in 2025.
(And you don’t have to do it this way, duh, these are just fun predictions to get the creative juices flowing for your own wedding.)
2025 Seasons: Let the Vibes Match the Weather (or Don’t)
In 2025, wedding color palettes are getting a little unexpected, and honestly, I’m super freaking down with it.
Here’s what’s (possibly) going to be happening, season by season:
Spring
In 2025, spring weddings will be taking a turn for the bolder with couples mixing colors in unexpected ways. (Lilac and bright blue? Soft pink with a juicy red? Hell yes!)
Think: fairy garden, but if a fairy garden went punk rock.
Summer
Summer weddings in 2025 will continue to be bangers with fun, funky florals, 1 AM ice cream trucks (or other late-night snacks), and guests absolutely losing it on the dance floor to songs like “Mr. Brightside.”
(One of the best-ever upbeat songs to dance to at a wedding. And that’s facts.)
Fall
Deep, rich colors (like mocha and espresso) and creamy neutrals will be the vibe. Throw in dramatic candlelight, a moody velvet suit, and a playlist full of 2000s emo classics, and you’ve got a 2025 fall wedding that you and your guests will freak for.
Winter
Winter weddings are going warm, rich, and intimate AF. I’m talking twinkling lights, darker color palettes, and cool-ass restaurants or museums turned into cozy reception spaces. It’s giving extra-special dinner party (instead of generic wedding ballroom).
2025 Wedding Decor: Go Big, Get Weird, and Make It Fun as Hell
When it comes to decor for 2025 wedding trends, I see couples getting weirder (and I freaking loveeeeee that).
Flowers Are Cool, But What About… Fresh Produce?
Of course, floral centerpieces will always be a classic, but in 2025… couples might be decking out their decor with veggies.
And maybe they’ll lean into the whole farmer’s market vibe even further by swapping floral seating charts for seating charts with vegetables or using lemons, artichokes, and fragrant greenery on tables.
Themed Weddings are a Hell Yes
2025 couples are leaning further into themes—not just with colors, but with full-on, theatrical AF wedding aesthetics. We’re talking theme vibes like:
- Alice in Wonderland
- 70s disco fever
- Gothic romance with moody decor and dramatic candlelight
- You name
Drapery > Basic Arches
Floral arches are still around, but we might be seeing more dramatic drapery and bold statement backdrops taking their place. I’m predicting flowing fabric installations, oversized fringe walls, and funky, unexpected textures. All of which are dramatic and vibey AF.
2025 Wedding Colors: Big Feels, Big Energy, and… Mocha
In 2025, wedding trends for colors are all about setting a whole-ass mood with your palette. Whether that’s with bold colors or leaning into the monochromatic aesthetic, creamy neutrals, and earthly tones, color is all about matching the vibe you’re going for.
(Although mocha does seem to be a 2025 wedding color favorite!)
(And btw, if you’re interested in me as your wedding photographer but are worried you aren’t “colorful” enough… color for Kylee B couples doesn’t have to literally be about color. I live for photographing colorful humans so for me, color is about energy and personality, too.)
2025 Wedding Venues: Fun and funky places
Soulless ballrooms with bad lighting and sad buffets aren’t the way for wedding venues in 2025.
(And not to be rude, but… were they ever?)
Instead, big-ass (and small-ass) bashes are going down in more casual venues like:
Museums
Imagine you and your love, saying “I do” under a giant T-Rex skeleton or surrounded by modern art, while your guests sip champagne and pretend they understand abstract paintings.
Sounds like a f*cking blast.
Restaurants
Who said weddings have to happen in giant venues with stiff chairs? Restaurant weddings are in—and they’re giving intimate, vibey, and FULL of good food. Think: long candlelit tables, bomb cocktails, funky tablescapes, and a wedding dinner that your guests would come back for.
Some Potentially Cool Wedding Venues in Pennsylvania
If you’re in Pennsylvania (heyoo, me too), maybe one of these wedding venues would be your vibe for 2025?
- The Franklin Institute (Philly) – Say “I do” under the stars in the planetarium
- Bar Marco (Pittsburgh) – a restaurant wedding with chef ’s-kiss food and cozy vibes
- The Penn Museum (Philly) – Share your vows surrounded by old AF artifacts
- Terrain Gardens (Devon, PA) – Oh, a dreamy greenhouse wedding?!
- Historic Hotel Bethlehem (Bethlehem, PA) – Go for a full-on moody, gothic romance vibe
(But if you’re interested in keeping your 2025 wedding at home and tying the knot in your own backyard, that’s cool too. And also, if you’re looking for LGBTQIA+ friendly wedding venues in Pennsylvania or Maryland, I got you.)
2025 Wedding Food: Nobody’s Leaving Hungry
In 2025, couples are making sure their guests are fed, happy, and 100% not sneaking off to Taco Bell at midnight. (Unless the Taco Bell at midnight is being delivered to their reception.)
In fact, that’s one of 2025 wedding trends I think we’ll be all the rage because while nice plated dinners will still be in, these bad boys might be too:
Late-night snacks
A fresh slice of after-party pizza, a basket of crispy fries, or an ice cream truck rolling in—if it’s greasy, carby, or something you’d eat at 1 AM after a night out, why not have it as a late-night snack at your wedding?
Mini burgers, soft pretzels, or literally whatever your heart desires are all fair game, too.
Mini cakes
In 2025, big cakes might be fighting to share the cake spotlight with mini cakes. As in little cakes that match your wedding color palette, are decorated differently for each guest, and are totally adorable.
2025 Wedding Clothes: Non-Traditional Fits That Bring the Main Character Energy
This year, non-traditional wedding clothes are taking over. Peeps are choosing dresses with fun sleeves, ditching black tuxes, and veils are getting their high-fashion funk on.
Colorful Tuxedos
If you’re still thinking black tux = the only option, 2025 is here to prove you wrong. This year, tuxedo-wearing humans are stepping it up and actually having fun with their fits. From cool colors to patterned pocket squares to rocking it in all-white, tuxes are gonna be extra creative.
Veils as Statement Pieces
Veils are no longer just an accessory, they’re a statement. We’re talking long, colorful, dramatic AF, or totally custom.
(Stalk Madison Chamberlain to see exactly what I’m talking about.)
2025 Wedding Songs: The Bangers Are Back
Most wedding playlists aim for a mix of songs that make people scream-sing and tear-jerk, and 2025 is no different. Except, nostalgic bangers are in big time.
Think: Y2K emo songs (because apparently, we’re all still not over 2000s emo).
Couples are going to be taking their favorite sad-boy anthems and turning them into instrumental versions for the ceremony. (And even the aisle walk down!)
Final Thoughts on 2025 Wedding Trends
Basically? They’re a f*cking vibe.
Between the change-up in classic venues to more unique spaces and the fun personal touches to things like arches and veils, I’m stoked to see all the Kylee B weddings (and weddings in freaking general) that happen this year.
And if you’re interested in having a dope 2025 wedding, like… a garden party on steroids (100% outdoor, massive branches with cool AF floral installations, you catch the drift).
Or a mixed metal theme that feels like Marie Antoinettee.. But if she got abducted by aliens and got to decorate the space ship.
Or a styled shoot that looks like Valentine’s Day basically threw up on your wedding (hot pinks, crimson reds, hearts freaking everywhere)…
Let me be your photographer because that sounds fun AF (and I have a *few* spots left for 2025).
