Top 5 Wedding Trends for 2025: A Photographer’s Perspective

As we head into 2025, couples are leaning into unique ways to make their weddings unforgettable and deeply personal. From curated aesthetics to immersive experiences, this year’s trends are all about creating heartfelt moments and stunning visuals. Here are the top five trends every 2025 bride and groom should know:


1. Bold Color Palettes with Earthy Undertones

Gone are the days of neutral-only weddings. This year, couples are embracing vibrant hues with earthy undertones to create a rich, moody ambiance. Think burnt orange, emerald green, terracotta, and shades of deep plum paired with softer, muted tones. These bold palettes not only add visual interest but also create a unique warmth and depth to photos, making each image stand out with character and personality.


2. Bridal Party Attire with a Twist

Brides and grooms are letting their wedding parties shine by mixing styles, textures, and even colors within the party. Bridesmaids might wear various shades within a cohesive palette, while groomsmen are stepping up with contrasting accents like statement ties or patterned socks. As a photographer, this trend adds dimension to the photos, allowing each member’s personality to shine, and creating a more dynamic, memorable visual story.


3. Intimate First Look and “Touch” Moments

While first looks have been around for a while, couples are finding new ways to make them more intimate and meaningful. The 2025 twist? Many couples are opting for “first touches” or quiet moments before the ceremony, sometimes including private letters or exchanged gifts. These heartfelt, emotional moments provide a chance for raw, candid photography that truly captures the couple’s bond in a way that staged moments simply can’t.


4. Reception Lounges with Personality

Reception lounges are becoming more popular as couples aim to create spaces where guests can relax, connect, and celebrate in a more casual, inviting way. From vintage furniture setups to cozy, bohemian-style seating with layered textiles, these lounge areas provide a perfect backdrop for candid group photos. They’re also a fantastic way to showcase the couple’s unique style, adding a touch of personality to the reception space.


5. Sustainable Wedding Choices

Couples in 2025 are increasingly making sustainable choices, from eco-friendly decor to repurposed florals and zero-waste catering options. Some are even opting for digital invitations or repurposed family heirlooms for decor. Having a sustainable wedding is a time to capture the beauty of intentionality and simplicity, with meaningful details that also positively impact the environment.


In 2025, wedding trends are all about celebrating authenticity, individuality, and heart—elements that make each wedding story unique and unforgettable. From bold color palettes to cozy reception lounges and intimate first looks, these trends bring out the beauty and emotion of each couple’s special day in truly memorable ways. If you're looking for a wedding photographer to capture these meaningful moments and tell your love story in a way that’s uniquely yours, let’s connect and create something extraordinary together.
