How to Plan a Spring or Summer Wedding in Style with 2025 Wedding Trends
Hey y’all!! First things first—huge congratulations to all my 2025 couples!! 💍🥂 As a Georgia wedding photographer who also happened to be a 2024 bride (yes, I’m still riding that newlywed high!), I totally get the excitement of dreaming about your big day and obsessing over all the 2025 wedding trends! So, let’s talk about what’s coming in hot for spring and summer weddings in 2025 because, spoiler alert: it’s going to be incredible!
If one thing is true about weddings, it’s this: weddings are always evolving, and 2025 is bringing some major swoon-worthy vibes and ideas to the table! From decor to dress codes, here are 10 trends I’m predicting will absolutely steal the spotlight this year!
10 2025 Wedding Trends for Spring and Summer Weddings
1. Vintage Wedding Decor
We’re talking about all the charm! Think intricate textures, draped fabrics, ribbons, and classic, clean wedding invites. Oh, and bows? Still in! This timeless vibe feels like stepping into a dreamy love story. Vintage inspired wedding details are perfect for couples planning an elegant, timeless wedding!
2. Draped Table Linens
This one needed its own spotlight! Velvet, ruffles, dramatic linens— I’m SO excited! From ceremony setups to reception tables, linens are leveling up this year. They’re not just a detail; they’re a moment. A statement piece that ties in beautifully with elevated spring wedding decor. Luxe wedding fabrics are sure to be a showstopper in 2025!
3. Multi Day Events
This trend has been picking up speed over the last year and I don’t see this one slowing down anytime soon! Why stop at one day when you can celebrate for three?! ✨ Couples are leaning into connection and carving out time for multi-day wedding celebrations. This includes rehearsal dinners, brunches, and even day-after celebrations. Eloping? Make it a multi-day adventure with your closest crew—it’s such a vibe, especially for destination weddings and intimate summer weddings!
4. New Wedding Traditions
2025 is the year that couples break the status quo and do what brings them joy! 2025 is all about doing you! Toss the rulebook and embrace what feels authentic. Think: no bridal party, private vow exchanges, or even skipping the cake cutting. This is your day—make it reflect your personal wedding style.
5. Wedding Content Creators
This trend is blowing up! Photographers are teaming up with wedding content creators to document your day in the most candid, real way possible. Say goodbye to stiff poses and hello to belly laughs, happy tears, and all the in-between moments. It’s all about creating authentic memories, which fits seamlessly into the top wedding photography trends for 2025!
6. 35mm Film
Along with the vintage decor, the demand for film photography is growing rapidly! Film is officially back, and I am here for it! Hiring a film photographer to capture those nostalgic, dreamy shots is becoming a must for couples craving timeless wedding photos. Film photography creates a romantic, artistic feel that perfectly compliments vintage wedding themes.
7. Bold Wedding Colors
Neutrals, we love you, but we’re saying goodbye in 2025! 🎨 Expect bold pops of personality with these wedding color palettes: reds, browns, greens, yellows, oranges, and playful pinks and blues. For spring and summer weddings, pastels are still making their mark, but with unexpected twists like metallics and chrome. Vibrant wedding colors are here to make a bold statement, especially for couples looking to infuse their personality into their day!
8. Minimal Hair and Makeup
“Emotional makeup” (yes, that’s the term!) is all about natural, authentic beauty. Minimalistic hairstyles are also taking center stage, letting you shine through. This trend ties in perfectly with the modern wedding trends of embracing authenticity, soft beauty, and effortless elegance.
9. Aesthetic Dress Codes
Guests as part of the decor? Yep, you read that right. From “all black” to “soft brown tones,” couples are curating looks that elevate the entire wedding vibe. Don’t be surprised if your invite has a fashion-forward dress code that compliments the overall theme. Dress codes like these are going to be a big part of 2025 wedding planning trends!
10. More Layers and Textures!
Layers and textures are making a statement—think linen, velvet, tassels, and satin all mixed together. Even attire is leaning into these contrasts for that chef’s kiss level of style. Expect textures and layers to dominate spring and summer weddings, both in decor and wedding party attire!
2025 Wedding Trends for Spring and Summer are all about embracing what makes your love story unique and unforgettable. From vintage wedding decor to bold colors and film photography, this year is shaping up to be one for the books!
