The top 2025 wedding trends
From impactful florals to statement groom fashion, here’s everything couples will be asking for in 2025. Get ready to align your offerings with what’s hot in the wedding industry.
Wedding trend #1: Statement ceiling florals
What it is:
Florals are no longer limited to table arrangements and bouquets. In 2025, expect to see ceiling installations and overhead floral displays that fill the reception space from above. These hanging florals create an immersive, awe-inspiring experience for couples and guests alike.
Why it’s trending:
“Look up!” says Jennifer Bernal, Creative Director of House of Bernal. “Couples are opting for overhead sweetheart florals and cascading designs. This breaks the expected line of designs at eye level and enhances the guest experience by encouraging them to look up or down.”
How vendors can showcase it:
- Highlight images of hanging floral installations in your Storefront photos.
- Update your Storefront bio to call out your ability to create large-scale floral installations.

Wedding trend #2: Elevated groom fashion
What it is:
Grooms are moving away from traditional black tuxedos and leaning into bold, fashion-forward choices. Think colorful suits, statement accessories and custom tailoring that reflects their personal style.
Why it’s trending:
Grooms want to stand out, too. As weddings become more individualized, so does the couple’s fashion. Couples are embracing more color and personality in their wedding attire, and grooms are seizing the opportunity to showcase their unique style.
How vendors can showcase it:
- Include images of modern, stylish groom fashion in your Storefront photos.
- If you offer attire-related services, call out statement suits, colorful options or custom tailoring services.

Wedding trend #3: Color-blocked florals
What it is:
Instead of blending various flowers together, color-blocked florals create distinct sections of color or flower type. This method gives each flower the chance to stand out on its own, creating bold, graphic arrangements.
Why it’s trending:
“Using one ingredient from the flower recipe at a time and repeating it in ‘blocks’ or sections creates an impactful visual experience,” explains Jennifer Bernal. This method draws attention to the patterns and clear lines of the design.
How vendors can showcase it:
- Add images of color-blocked floral arrangements to your Storefront.
- Update your bio or service description to mention your expertise in color-blocking florals or modern floral design.
Wedding trend #4: Entertainment-first experiences
What it is:
Couples are booking unique, immersive entertainment experiences to wow their guests. From live performances and interactive guest activities to photo booths and pop-up bars, these moments keep guests talking long after the wedding ends.
Why it’s trending:
Entertainment has always been a big part of weddings, but now it’s taking center stage. Couples want their wedding to be more than just a party—they want it to be an experience. Immersive entertainment moments create unforgettable memories for guests.
How vendors can showcase it:
- Use video content on your Storefronts to highlight live performances, surprise acts or interactive experiences.
- List immersive experiences in your service description.
- Ask for a review from a couple who had an interactive element at their wedding.

Wedding trend #5: Moody, dramatic lighting
What it is:
Lighting is taking a front seat in wedding design, with couples opting for moody, cinematic lighting to create ambiance. Think dim candlelight, colored uplighting and immersive LED installations.
Why it’s trending:
Lighting transforms the feel of a space, and couples want their reception to feel atmospheric and romantic. By using layered lighting, couples can create different “moods” for the cocktail hour, dinner and dance floor.
How vendors can showcase it:
- Update your Storefront photos to include images that show dramatic lighting setups.
- Mention your ability to create ambiance with lighting in your Storefront.

Wedding trend #6: Earthy, neutral color palettes
What it is:
Natural, earthy color palettes (like sage, terracotta and champagne) are taking over 2025 weddings. These palettes are warm, timeless and deeply connected to nature.
Why it’s trending:
Couples want elegant, timeless wedding aesthetics that won’t feel dated in a few years. Earthy tones evoke a sense of calm, warmth and intimacy—the exact emotions couples want on their big day.
How vendors can showcase it:
- Feature photos on your Storefronts showing tablescapes, florals and decor that reflect earthy, neutral palettes.
- Include these photos on your website and social media accounts for brand consistency.
Wedding trend #7: Floral wow moments
What it is:
Couples are focusing their floral budget on one or two big “wow moments” rather than spreading it across multiple elements. These moments could be a floral backdrop, a grand entryway or a large-scale hanging installation.
Why it’s trending:
“Unexpected large moments create visual impact, increasing memory retention of the wedding experience,” explains Jennifer Bernal. It’s about focusing on fewer, but more impactful, designs.
How vendors can showcase it:
- Add images of statement floral moments to your Storefront photos.
- Host a live tutorial on social media showing how you create grand floral masterpieces.
Wedding trend #8: Personalized welcome gifts
What it is:
Welcome gifts for guests are becoming more personal, with items like wellness products, local treats, and personalized keepsakes.
Why it’s trending:
With multi-day wedding weekends on the rise, couples want their guests to feel taken care of from start to finish. Personalized welcome gifts are a thoughtful way to kick off the experience.
How vendors can showcase it:
- Add “welcome gift services” to your Storefront service descriptions.
- Request Storefront reviews that specifically speak to your ability to create personalized gifts.
- Showcase some of your favorite gifts on your social media accounts.
Wedding trend #9: Bold tablescapes
What it is:
Tablescapes are getting more elaborate, with unique table linens, modern flatware and statement dinnerware.
Why it’s trending:
Couples are customizing every aspect of their wedding, and the dining experience is no exception. Creative tablescapes add visual appeal and a more personal touch.
How vendors can showcase it:
- Include styled table designs in your Storefront photos.
