Wedding Decor Trends to Expect in 2025
Get ready to be inspired! Learn about the hottest wedding decor trends for 2025. From vintage to green, find your perfect style.
For home interior enthusiasts, the thought of planning your wedding decor is a dream come true. It’s your one day to design everything just as you want in an attempt to create the perfect setting for your big day. But while you may have had a theme in mind for years, you’ll still need to match your wedding decor to current trends in the design world.
When it comes to perfecting your wedding decor, it’s important to strike the balance between your own personal style and trending decor at the time you tie the knot. You may want to start with a current theme before putting your own personal spin on your wedding’s aesthetic.
Regardless of your approach, here are some of the wedding decor trends we can expect to take center stage for those who are getting married in 2025.
Pop of Colour
If you want an example of a timeless decor trend, look no further than introducing a pop of color amongst a sea of neutral tones. This is a great trend for those who want to keep things traditional while also adding a touch of personality.
The key lies in striking just the right amount of pop. Too little color and your efforts will go unnoticed; too much and your pop will be more like a bang! A great way to introduce a touch of vibrancy could be adding colorful flowers to an otherwise all-white table setting. Other options include colorful guest bags placed in wait for your attendees or introducing color through artwork dotted around your venue.
Green Weddings
We’re starting to see an increasing number of green weddings. Only this time we’re not talking about the color! Sustainability is having a big impact on trends just about everywhere we look, and weddings are no different.
If you’re looking for a way to create a very current wedding, considering the eco-friendliness of your decor could be a great way to do exactly that. Decor options for a green wedding include using homemade decorations out of recycled materials, growing your own decorative flowers, and swapping electric lighting for candles.
While these ideas will undoubtedly reduce the carbon footprint of your wedding, you’ll find that sustainable alternatives are now often considered the more stylish option too.
Retro and Royal
Two other options for timeless wedding decor themes include retro and royal, but how about combining the two to create a niche yet elegant decor theme? Many of our favorite TV shows combine bygone eras with the upper echelons of society; see Bridgerton and The Crown for two perfect examples.
Whether we realize it or not, these pop culture trends do impact the rest of our lives. In 2025, expect to see our love for all things retro and royal be visible via weddings. In terms of decor, expect to see modern twists on 19th-century venues and traditional color schemes that royals would never stray from.
Mocha Mousse
2025’s color of the year has been announced, and we can expect to see a lot more brown in our lives as it was mocha mousse that took the title. Although you might wonder what that has to do with wedding decor, the answer is a lot.
In truth, the color of the year is usually seen just about everywhere. 2024’s peach fuzz is a great example of this, as it can be seen everywhere from fashion to interior design. If you’re planning a wedding in 2025, introducing a touch of mocha mousse (that’s PANTONE 17-1230 to be specific) is a surefire way to keep your wedding decor on trend.
Rustic Botanical
Rustic weddings have been on trend for a number of years now, but recently we’ve seen a botanical twist added to the rustic theme. Rustic botanical is the ultimate combination of simplicity, ruralness, and nature to form an elegant look.
This is a great option if your wedding has an outdoor area, as the botanical nature of your theme can easily be brought through via the natural outdoors. If you do opt for an external wedding, it also gives you more ways to express your decor theme. For instance, consider how practical additions such as luxury throws can be placed in outdoor areas to offer both style and substance.
Untraditional
While many decor themes mentioned on this list have been the epitome of tradition, we can also expect to see many more untraditional decor themes throughout 2025 weddings. Younger couples will drive this trend as it becomes increasingly common for Gen Z and Millenials to turn their backs on anything considered the norm.
You can expect the unexpected when it comes to venue, food, and afterparty. But in terms of decor, there are likely to be a lot more weddings ditching traditional color palettes, materials, and decorations.
