Top Wedding Trends for 2025: What’s In, What’s Out
If you’re planning to say “I do” in 2025, you’re in for a stunning wave of fresh, stylish, and meaningful wedding trends.

2025 is officially ditching the neutral-only rule. Expect to see:
Rich jewel tones like emerald, sapphire, and garnet
Terracotta and ochre paired with modern blushes
Vibrant lavender, mustard, and cobalt accents
Pro tip: Color isn’t just for flowers—think colorful glassware, linens, and fashion too.

Brides and grooms are embracing trendsetting looks with:
Bridal separates, mini dresses, and capes
3D florals, pearl embellishments, and metallic textures
Grooms in colored or patterned tuxedos (velvet is in!)

🌿 4. Sustainable & Ethical Celebrations
Couples are planning with purpose:
Renting dresses or buying secondhand
