Weddings are the ultimate mix of love, fresh vibes, and jaw-dropping aesthetics. And as we strut confidently into 2025, it’s clear some of 2024’s wedding trends are here to stay, while others are gracefully bowing out to make room for new, gotta-have-it ideas. This year, couples are reimagining their big day with bold creativity, so many personal touches, and, of course, amazing flowers. So, let’s dive in! At WildFlower Stem & Sundry, we’re breaking down what’s sticking around, what’s being swapped out, and how to nail these trends while staying true to your style.
Keep Opulent Tablescapes, But Swap Out Maximalism
Let’s talk tablescapes, aka the heart of your reception decor. Floral clouds (those jaw-dropping floating arrangements floating overhead) were all the rage in 2024, and we love that they’re here to stay in 2025! These stunning designs connect the tabletop to the space above, creating a cohesive, fairytale-esque look. But this year is still about dialing back the extra without losing the wow. Enter refined opulence: layered, lush florals with a curated, airy vibe. The key here is balance—keep it luxurious, but let your guests (and your space) breathe. Less clutter, more charm.
Keep Old Money Styling, But Swap Out Bridgerton
ICYMI, “quiet luxury” (aka Old Money styling) is still a reigning champ in 2025. This timeless elegance never goes out of style. Think crisp linens, heirloom silverware, and elevated blooms like orchids and garden roses. But while Old Money vibes stay, it’s officially time to retire the Bridgerton-inspired regencycore aesthetic. Instead, say hello to a refined coastal aesthetic with serious Martha’s Vineyard energy. Picture soft blues, natural textures, and a laid-back yet upscale vibe that’s effortless and classy.
Keep Luxe Minimalism, But Swap Out Budget Weddings
Minimalism leveled up in 2024 with luxe touches like monochromatic florals, sculptural arrangements, and premium blooms like proteas and ranunculus. And spoiler alert: it’s here to stay in 2025. Luxe minimalism proves that “less is more” can still pack a major punch—when done right. The trick, however, is intentionality. While budget-conscious weddings can be smart, cutting too many corners risks losing the magic. Instead, focus on fewer, high-impact details that feel polished and elegant. Think sleek, statement arrangements or clean, modern decor that still brings all the drama (in the best way).
Keep Culture Front and Center, But Swap Out Traditional Favors
Personalizing your wedding with cultural touches is a forever yes. Whether it’s a Hacienda-inspired bash, a vibrant cultural ceremony, or a nod to family traditions, showcasing your roots adds meaning and depth to your day. From food to music, these celebrations are a beautiful way to share your story. However, when it comes to wedding favors, let’s ditch the sachets of almonds or personalized koozies. For 2025, couples are favoring experiential gifts like locally sourced gourmet treats, mini potted plants, or donations to meaningful causes. It’s all about leaving your guests with something memorable and useful.
Keep Nostalgic Noshes, But Swap Out Food Trucks
We can all agree that food is one of the most exciting parts of a wedding. Nostalgia-inspired menus were a hit in 2024 (hi, mini grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters ), and they’re not going anywhere. Think retro-chic dessert tables, playful takes on childhood faves, or bites that bring the comfort. But one trend that’s on its way out is food trucks. Instead of mobile kitchens, 2025 couples are leaning into curated food experiences like interactive grazing boards, chef-led tasting stations, or plated classics with a fancy twist. Nostalgia, but make it elevated — and nobody will have to wait in line to place an order!
At WildFlower, we’re all about helping you craft a wedding that’s trendy and timeless. The secret is mixing what’s fresh with what feels authentic to you. So, let’s keep the best of 2024, swap the rest, and create wedding moments that are uniquely yours. Because trends may come and go, but your big day is forever.
