As we step into 2025, weddings are becoming even more personal, intimate, and visually breathtaking. This year is all about breaking traditions, embracing fresh aesthetics, and focusing on meaningful experiences that tell a couple’s unique story. Whether you’re planning your big day or dreaming about it, here are the top wedding trends for 2025 that you’ll love—and maybe make your own.
In 2025, couples are leaning into highly curated, classic wedding portraits—timeless, dramatic, and drop-dead gorgeous. Think Vanderpump-style photo shoots where you’re channeling your inner model and giving your best smize. These aren’t just photos; they’re works of art.
— Flora Tip: Use your venue’s beautiful natural spaces or opt for one of Flora’s stunning backdrops to create an iconic setting. Bonus? These portraits double as frame-worthy wall art that will feel timeless decades from now.
Why You’ll Love It: Your future self will thank you for these sophisticated, heirloom-quality photos. Plus, let’s be honest, you’ll want to share these on your anniversary every year.
Mirror seating charts are 2025’s answer to “how can we make seating assignments look fabulous?” With etched names or calligraphy, these reflective displays are elegant, functional, and just plain fun. And here’s the genius twist: depending on the size of your mirror, you can leave space for guests to snap their own selfies.
— Flora Tip: Place the mirror seating chart where it’s easy to access but also doubles as a photo opportunity. A floral frame or candlelight setup around the mirror will make it a guest-favorite spot.
Why You’ll Love It: Not only does it direct your guests to their seats, but it also doubles as interactive décor. Everyone leaves with a picture—and maybe a selfie caption like, “Spotted: Looking chic at Flora.”
Wave goodbye to traditional rice tosses and embrace dried flower confetti instead. It’s eco-friendly, photogenic, and smells as lovely as it looks. At Flora, we take confetti bars to the next level, offering a wide selection of petals and herbs so your guests can mix their own signature blend.
— Flora Tip: Elevate the confetti bar with beautiful trays, jars, and scoops. Let guests create their blends with options like lavender, chamomile, or eucalyptus. It’s not just sustainable—it’s interactive and oh-so-pretty.
Why You’ll Love It: Those magical toss photos will be everything you dreamed of, and the delicate petals are a nod to thoughtful, eco-friendly elegance.
Subtle florals are taking a backseat in 2025 as grand floral installations become the centerpiece of weddings. Picture cascading garlands, dramatic arches, and ceiling installations dripping with blooms. These bold designs are more than décor—they’re showstoppers.
— Flora Tip: Work with your florist to use Flora’s stunning spaces as the foundation for your florals. Whether it’s a ceremony backdrop or a jaw-dropping floral chandelier over the dance floor, we can help you make it breathtaking.
Why You’ll Love It: Big florals make a big statement, and nothing creates a “wow” moment like stepping into a room filled with cascading blooms.
Mocktails are having a moment, and Flora’s bar program is here for it. Forget kombucha flights—our fully customizable bar service lets you design a menu that’s uniquely yours. From fresh herb-infused drinks to sparkling spritzers, we’ll help you craft mocktails that are just as celebratory as the champagne.
— Flora Tip: Collaborate with our bar team to design a mocktail that reflects your story as a couple. Think seasonal flavors or a nod to a favorite place or memory. Guests will love the creativity and care you’ve put into the experience.
Why You’ll Love It: Your guests will be raving about these delicious, thoughtful options long after the last toast.
More couples are shifting the spotlight speeches to their rehearsal dinners, keeping the wedding day focused on celebration and flow. This trend gives family and friends a more intimate space to share heartfelt words while freeing up precious time on the big day.
— Flora Tip: If you still want a touch of sentiment during your wedding, invite just one or two key people (like your parents or best friend) to give a short toast during dinner. It’s the perfect balance between meaningful moments and keeping things moving.
Why You’ll Love It: Your reception becomes all about celebrating, while the rehearsal dinner lets you soak up those emotional speeches in a relaxed setting.
Say hello to baby blue, the wedding color of 2025 that’s stealing the show. It’s soft, romantic, and versatile enough to fit any style—from whimsical to elegant. Think bridesmaid dresses, delicate florals, and even touches in your tablescapes or cake.
— Flora Tip: Mix baby blue with other complementary tones like sage green, soft ivory, or gold for a balanced palette. Need inspiration? Check out our Pinterest board filled with dreamy color palettes and décor ideas.
Why You’ll Love It: This fresh hue works for every season and adds a subtle yet striking pop to your overall wedding aesthetic.
More couples are moving away from large bridal parties and choosing to either keep it small or skip the entourage altogether. It’s less about tradition and more about keeping things meaningful and stress-free.
— Flora Tip: If you’re skipping the bridal party, incorporate close friends and family in other ways, like helping with your getting-ready moments or giving a reading at the ceremony. It’s personal, intimate, and less stressful for everyone.
Why You’ll Love It: This trend lets you focus on what matters most—your relationship—and creates a more relaxed, intimate atmosphere.
The caterpillar layout is the seating trend of 2025 that everyone’s talking about. This creative, winding table arrangement encourages mingling and makes every guest feel included. It’s perfect for couples who want their reception to feel like one big dinner party.
— Flora Tip: Pair the caterpillar layout with bold tablescapes and stunning floral centerpieces to create a cohesive and unforgettable reception design. Flora’s spaces are perfect for layouts that emphasize both beauty and functionality. Need ideas? Check out some ideas on Flora’s pinterest!
