9 Wedding Décor Trends Planners Can’t Wait to Design in 2025

If you’re planning a wedding in 2025, you’re probably wondering what décor trends will be taking over the aisle. From bold colour palettes to immersive guest experiences, next year’s weddings will be all about personalization and unforgettable details. Check out these 9 Wedding décor trends planners can’t wait to design in 2025.

Bold and Unexpected Color Palettes

Pastels and neutrals will always have their place in wedding design, but 2025 is bringing a surge of rich, unexpected color combinations. Think deep emerald greens paired with burnt orange, or lavender mixed with bold cobalt blue. Wedding planners are seeing couples embrace colors that reflect their personalities rather than sticking to traditional palettes.

“Couples are becoming more adventurous with color,” says event designer Rachel Simmons. “We’re seeing vibrant hues used in florals, table settings, and even bridal attire.”

Statement Ceilings and Hanging Installations

Why decorate just the tables when you can transform the entire space? Hanging floral installations, chandeliers wrapped in greenery, and draped fabric ceilings are taking centre stage. These dramatic overhead elements create an immersive experience that wows guests from the moment they step in.

“We’re seeing a shift toward fully designed spaces where every angle is considered,” says planner Michael Tran. “A stunning ceiling installation can make a venue feel completely unique.”

Maximalist Tablescapes

Minimalism is taking a backseat to over-the-top, layered tablescapes. Think textured linens, mismatched vintage glassware, and an abundance of candles. Couples are leaning into opulence, creating table settings that feel lush and inviting.

“Tablescapes are becoming more intricate, with layered plates, bold napkin choices, and a mix of modern and antique elements,” says designer Emily Hart. “It’s all about creating a feast for the eyes.”

Personalized Wedding Branding

From custom monograms to signature scents, couples are treating their weddings like a fully branded experience. Personalized logos appear on invitations, cocktail napkins, and even dance floors. Some couples are even working with perfumers to create a custom fragrance for their wedding day.

“Weddings are becoming more experiential,” says planner Sarah Lopez. “A signature scent or custom crest makes the event feel truly one-of-a-kind.”

Interactive Food and Beverage Stations

Gone are the days of standard plated dinners—2025 is all about interactive dining experiences. Think gourmet taco bars, DIY pasta stations, and craft cocktail lounges where guests can customize their drinks.

“Couples want their guests to be part of the experience,” says caterer James Monroe. “Interactive food stations keep the energy up and make the meal feel more personal.”

Mismatched and Eclectic Seating

Instead of uniform chairs and tables, couples are opting for a more eclectic mix of furniture. Lounge areas with vintage sofas, mismatched dining chairs, and a mix of round and rectangular tables create a more relaxed, curated feel.

“It’s about making the space feel more like an intimate dinner party than a traditional wedding,” says designer Olivia Chang. “Mixing furniture styles adds character and warmth.”

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Décor

Sustainability continues to be a major focus in 2025. Couples are choosing locally sourced flowers, reusable décor elements, and rental options over single-use items. Some are even opting for potted plants instead of cut flowers, allowing guests to take home a living favor.

“Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s becoming the standard,” says planner Daniel Reyes. “Couples want a beautiful wedding without unnecessary waste.”

High-Tech Lighting and Projection Mapping

Lighting is playing a bigger role than ever in wedding design. Projection mapping can transform a plain venue into a dreamy forest or a starry night sky. LED installations and dynamic lighting effects help set the mood and create a magical atmosphere.

“Lighting has the power to completely change a space,” says lighting designer Mark Fields. “With projection mapping, you can have a different backdrop for every part of the night.”

9. Nostalgic Touches and Vintage-Inspired Details

Couples are embracing nostalgia with vintage-inspired décor, from retro photo booths to antique china. Old Hollywood glamour, Art Deco details, and 90s-inspired wedding aesthetics are making a comeback.

“There’s a huge love for vintage elements right now,” says planner Jessica Lane. “Couples are incorporating family heirlooms, classic typography, and retro colour”
