Wedding Trends: What’s In and What’s Timeless
When it comes to planning your wedding you are probably wondering what’s in and what’s out. Heading over to Pinterest to see the latest trends has become second nature to most. From bold color palettes to interactive food and drink stations, couples are finding unique ways to make their big day unforgettable. We are here to give you the inside scoop of what we are seeing as top trends in 2025-2026 weddings.
All About the Palette
While soft, neutral palettes have long been a wedding staple, bold colors are making a comeback! One of the most elegant trends we’ve seen is the Southern-inspired blue and white palette; a timeless, sophisticated color scheme that exudes luxury. This combination of rich navy, soft sky blue, and crisp white adds a regal touch to weddings. Other than the southern charm of blues and whites, we are also seeing:
Browns – Shades like chocolate, beige, and Pantone’s color of the year Mocha Mousse, are gaining popularity as stylish alternatives to traditional neutrals.
Muted shades – Colors like sage green, dusty rose, and French blue complement the earthy tones.
Juicy Reds and Corals – symbolizes passion, love, and romance, making it a natural choice for weddings. Red was a popular color in 2024 and it seems like it is here to stay.
Less Cake, More Dessert
The traditional wedding cake has taken a backseat. Couples are embracing interactive and unique dessert options, making sure there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our Flaming doughnut station, where doughnut holes are flambéed for a dramatic (and delicious) effect, is a standout option 😉. Mini dessert displays featuring bite-sized treats are also becoming increasingly popular.
Personalized Late-Night Snacks
When everyone thinks the party is over, you throw one last surprise at them! The late night snack has really shown it’s popularity lately with couples getting their favorite foods for the end of the night. From Taco Party Packs to Dino Nuggets you really can’t go wrong. Personalizing the snack selection based on the couples love story adds an extra special touch!
Reception Dresses
One wedding dress just isn’t enough anymore! Many brides are embracing reception dress changes to transition from a formal ceremony gown to a chic, more dance-friendly outfit. Whether it’s a sparkly mini dress or a sleek jumpsuit these wardrobe swaps add an element of surprise.
Statement Florals with Versatility
Lush floral arrangements aren’t just sitting pretty in one spot anymore. Floral installations are being repurposed throughout the wedding day, making them both stunning and sustainable. We’ve seen breathtaking ceremony arches transformed into reception décor, aisle arrangements repurposed as sweetheart table accessories and floral runners moved to frame the cake table. This strategic reuse maximizes impact while being budget-friendly.
The Rise of Wedding Content Creators
Hiring a wedding content creator is one of the newest trends making waves in the industry. Unlike traditional photographers and videographers, content creators focus on real-time, behind-the-scenes moments, capturing candid clips and Instagram-worthy content.
Sustainable Elements
Sustainability will be in the forefront of wedding planning moving forward. From thrifted items, to eco-friendly favors there are plenty of options you can look into to do a little part in helping Mother Earth. We recently had a bride at Casa Feliz thrift her wedding dress and end up in People Magazine! A different wedding had plantable seed packets that doubled as place cards. You can even take it a step further by hiring a composting company, like O-Town Compost to come to your big day to make sure the food waste is taken care of.
Champagne Walls & Interactive Drink Displays
Champagne walls have made their comeback! These elegant displays not only serve as a functional drink station but also act as a statement décor piece and a fun way to greet guests. Whether set up during cocktail hour or used as a creative escort card display, champagne walls bring a touch of fun to any celebration.
Creative Lighting
Creative lighting, especially chandeliers is definitely in for 2025. Couples are leaning into more dramatic vibes that create a soft romantic glow.
Personalized & Meaningful Details
More than ever, couples are looking for ways to infuse their personalities and love stories into their wedding day. We’ve seen couples use places they’ve traveled as table markers, personalized notes to guests as place cards, monogrammed napkins and even their best fur friends have been making an appearance. These details make your wedding day super personal.
From bold color palettes to interactive experiences and sustainable choices, today’s weddings are all about creativity, personalization, and unforgettable moments. These trends reflect how couples today are breaking traditions and making their weddings exactly how they want them to be!
