Now, as we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to see new trends emerging that bring fresh, modern ideas to the wedding world! At Updos For I Dos, we’re always thrilled to help bring these gorgeous visions to life. Continue reading to learn more about our top five favorite wedding trends for 2025!
Minimalism: Less is More
The mantra “less is more” has never been more relevant! In 2025, couples are embracing clean, understated decor and intentional design choices. Think sleek tablescapes, simple yet stunning bridal gowns, and minimalist decorative choices that highlight a single statement piece, such as a floral arrangement or other type of display! This trend isn’t about skimping on details but rather about carefully curating each element to create a serene, cohesive aesthetic!
Vintage Vibes
Everything old is new again! Vintage inspired wedding vibes are making a bold return in 2025, with brides channeling timeless looks from decades past. Whether it’s Art Deco glam from the roaring ’20s, soft lace and tea-length dresses reminiscent of the ’50s, or the bohemian flair of the ’70s, couples are incorporating nostalgic elements into their biggest day! We anticipate seeing lots of antique furniture rentals, modern takes on past decades hair and makeup looks, and retro styled photography for a dash of old school romance feels.
Whimsical & Artistic Touches
2025 weddings are embracing creativity with whimsical and artistic details! We’re talking about hand painted invitations created by small business owners, stunning wedding cakes, and live painting performances during your ceremony or reception. (PS: we LOVE the live paintings!) Couples are adding an extra dash of personality to their weddings through unexpected and most delightful elements, whether it’s colorful floral installations that feel like a fairytale, or unique and interactive guest experiences, like DIY photo books!
Minimalist Hair and Makeup Looks
Gone are the days of heavy makeup applications, these days clients are embracing the skin they’re in! In 2025, we predict brides and their besties will continue opting for natural coverage, glowy skin, subtle eye enhancements, and soft lip colors. We anticipate seeing lots of peaches, pinks, and soft golds used in makeup looks, and we couldn’t be more excited about it!
Hair trends in 2025 are leaning toward sleek, effortless styles such as low buns, loose waves, or polished ponytails! Don’t get us wrong, while hairstyles are sleeker than ever, texture and face framing pieces are still going to be highly requested looks! (Us 90’s babes will never fully let go of our face framing!)
We’re thrilled to see a continued focus on natural beauty and effortless elegance! From glowing skin and soft, romantic makeup, to sleek or textured hairstyles, 2025 glam trends perfectly balance simplicity with sophistication. It’s a celebration of individuality and timeless style!
Pops of Color
Neutral tones will always be a safe (and beautiful!) choice, but we fully anticipate bold pops of color to steal the spotlight in 2025! Couples are using vibrant hues in creative ways, from jewel-toned floral arrangements and colorful table linens to statement shoes or accessories for the bride and groom, and we’re excited for every bit! This trend creates such a personalized and joyous feel, infusing energy into traditional wedding color palettes without overwhelming the overall design.

Each of these trends captures a unique part of what makes 2025 weddings so exciting! Whether you’re a minimalist at heart, a lover of nostalgia, or someone who thrives on creativity, there’s something gorgeous in store for every 2025 bride.
