Vintage Wedding Style: A Nod to the Past

2025 is seeing a resurgence of vintage wedding styles. Think lace gowns, oversized bows, shimmering metallic details, and elegant pearls.

Dramatic Drapery: From the Dress to Décor, Let It Flow

Bold, flowing fabrics are making a statement in everything from wedding dresses to table settings. Drapery that cascades dramatically adds an air of luxury and grandeur. Whether it’s a veil that stretches for yards or sweeping fabric canopies at the reception, these details set the stage for an unforgettable celebration.

Multi-Day Events Focused on Hospitality for Your Cherished Guests

Gone are the days of single-day weddings! In 2025, couples are extending their celebrations into multi-day events. From rehearsal dinners on catamarans, private yoga classes, and welcome parties to morning-after brunches, couples are focusing on creating a memorable experience for their guests. Expect cocktail hours, personalized gifts, and plenty of time for mingling with loved ones, making everyone feel special.

Creating New Traditions

Couples are breaking away from long-held traditions and making their wedding days more personal. We’re seeing a shift away from bridal parties, with brides and grooms opting to get ready together for intimate moments before the ceremony. Some are even forgoing the classic cake-cutting ceremony or choosing to share private vows away from the crowd, creating memories that are uniquely theirs.

Photography & Videography

2025 is all about capturing every moment in style! With content creators on the rise, couples are turning to professionals who understand the importance of storytelling. We’re particularly excited about Creative Vision — they’re making waves with their stunning photo and video work, ensuring no special moment is missed. Having the right team means you’ll be able to relive your big day in all its beauty.

Digital Invitations: Eco-Friendly and Chic

More couples are turning to digital invitations to reduce waste while still delivering an elegant touch. These e-invites are easy to customize and offer a seamless way to keep guests updated, all while helping the environment. A modern solution that’s stylish and sustainable.

Wedding Wardrobes: Curating Looks for Every Event

With multi-day events, the need for a wedding wardrobe has become a must. Brides and grooms are curating personalized looks for every part of the celebration, from engagement parties and welcome dinners to the after-party. It’s all about creating a cohesive style story that reflects your personality across every event.

“Emotional” Skincare: Self-Care for the Big Day

Skincare is about more than just looking great; it’s about feeling great too! We’re seeing an increase in “emotional” skincare, with products designed to relieve stress and pamper your skin in the lead-up to the wedding. Eye patches, calming face masks, and stress-relief oils are becoming wedding prep must-haves.

Minimalist Hair: Sophisticated Simplicity

For brides looking for a clean, polished look, minimalist hair is trending in 2025. Think sleek low ponytails, elegant slicked-back buns, and smooth blowouts. These simple yet sophisticated styles are perfect for showcasing your natural beauty and creating a chic, timeless look.
