This year is shaping up to be an exciting year for weddings, with trends that focus on personalisation, artistic styling, and making sure the big day reflects the couple and their love story rather than following outdated traditions. The key 2025 wedding trends have authenticity at their centre, with romantic and modern aesthetics influencing the styling choices. From Pantone colour palettes to documentary filming, each element contributes to a celebration as unique as the couple. Here are the predictions for trending wedding ideas for 2025.
Well-Dressed Guests

In 2025, dress codes for wedding guests will become more cohesive and stylish. Couples are setting the tone by asking guests to dress in specific colours to reflect their wedding theme. Think black-tie events with a colour palette suggestion to adhere to or a request for guests to wear certain patterns or textures. Clear communication through beautifully designed invitations or wedding websites ensures guests feel confident in their choices.
Floral Wedding Dresses

Floral wedding dresses are having a major moment. From intricate embroidery to three-dimensional floral appliqués, these designs bring a touch of whimsy and romance to bridal fashion. When captured on film, the delicate details of these dresses come to life as the wearer moves in the light.
The Modern Wedding Tux

The wedding tuxedo is evolving beyond the classic black and white. This year, grooms and groomsmen are embracing coloured suit jackets in shades like mocha, forest green and deep burgundy. Velvet jackets, satin lapels and subtle patterns add a sense of luxury to menswear, too.
Modern Mocha

One of the most influential 2025 wedding trends is the colour palette. With Pantone’s Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse, setting the tone, mocha-inspired colour schemes are certain to be en-vogue for weddings this year. This warm, earthy shade works beautifully across décor, bridesmaid dresses, floral arrangements and table settings. The richness of the hue paired with complementary colours like dusty pink, fresh greens, crisp white or metallics creates an inviting and sophisticated atmosphere. The colour palette can be captured with shots of the venue dressing and close-ups of key details, ensuring the story of your day is seamlessly integrated into the wedding film and photography.
Extended Celebrations

Why limit the celebration to a single day? Wedding weekends are gaining popularity, offering couples and their guests a chance to savour the experience. From welcome dinners to farewell brunches and even second-day barbecues or parties, multi-day events offer prolonged festivities, allowing you to really soak up the fun with your closest family. Hire your videography to capture all of the celebrations. Documentary-style filming is ideal for wedding weekends, allowing the film to reflect the natural flow of events and emotions.
Live Painters

One of the trending wedding ideas for 2025 is hiring a live painter. These illustrators add a unique touch to weddings, creating one-of-a-kind artworks of each guest in real-time throughout the celebration. Guests can watch the paintings being created before taking theirs home as a treasured keepsake. The couple may even have a larger canvas painted depicting the ceremony or a lively reception scene.
Textural Touches

Incorporating textured fabrics is a key detail high on the list for 2025 wedding trends. Fabrics add depth and dimension to venue decor. Ceiling drapes in flowing fabrics create a dreamy ambience, while muslin napkins, luxury stationery pieces and textured table linens elevate the dining experience. These aesthetic styling details offer a way to put your personal stamp on your chosen wedding venue.
Lambeth Wedding Cakes

Lambeth-style wedding cakes are set to remain popular this year. Known for their intricate piping and ornate details, these cakes are as much a work of art as they are a dessert. Adding fruits and flowers to these cakes enhances their visual appeal. As does the movement towards heart-shaped, single-tier Lambeth cakes. Capturing the cake design on film, during the cake-cutting, is a key moment. The cake is an area where you can make a design choice that reflects your personality, preferences and style!
Fruits and Flowers

Fruits and flowers are becoming popular elements in both decor and menu design. Think lush floral table arrangements intertwined with pomegranates, figs or citrus fruits. These bright touches bring vibrancy and freshness to the overall aesthetic. Likewise, edible flowers decorating grazing tables and plated dishes add a pop of colour to the wedding feast.
Film Photography

Film photography is enjoying a resurgence as couples seek timeless, artistic wedding memories. The grain, softness and warmth of film offer a distinct aesthetic. Couples are choosing to include film photography alongside digital photography and videography, giving them a selection of imagery to remember their day by.
Documentary Photography

Documentary-style photography focuses on candid, unposed moments, capturing the essence of the day as it unfolds. This style of photography will continue to trend in 2025. By focusing on natural interactions and genuine emotions, photographers can create an authentic narrative.
Drone Videography

Drone videography continues to gain popularity, offering breathtaking views of venues and landscapes, really setting the scene for your wedding video. Whether it’s capturing a beachside wedding or a countryside estate, drone footage provides a cinematic perspective that’s hard to achieve otherwise. For 2025, expect drone footage to be integrated seamlessly into wedding films.
Cinematic Storytelling Films

Couples are increasingly opting for cinematic storytelling in their wedding films. This trend emphasises emotion, narrative and artistry and is becoming more popular than traditional chronological formats. By weaving together key moments – from getting ready to the first dance – with creative editing and music, videographers can craft films that feel like feature movies. Incorporating voiceovers, vows and speeches enhances the emotion, making the final product a cherished keepsake.
