Later this month, I’ll be swapping my Pawfect Love hat for dancing shoes as I celebrate the wedding of two dear friends. Being surrounded by love and joyful chaos always gets me reflecting on the trends shaping weddings—and let me tell you, 2025 has some gems!
Here are a few of my favourite ‘ins’ and ‘outs’ for the year ahead:
What’s In:
-
Maximalist Tablescapes: Think bold colour palettes, layered textures, and statement florals- only if it fits with your personalities and chosen venue that is.
-
Eco-Friendly Luxe: Sustainable choices like secondhand decor, locally sourced blooms, and plantable invitations are making a splash without compromising style.
-
Micro-Moments: From personalized welcome notes to mini wedding cakes for each guest, it’s all about intimate, thoughtful details.
-
Interactive Entertainment: Beyond the dance floor, photo booths with custom props and live painters capturing your day add a unique touch.
-
Fur Baby Cameos: Whether it’s custom keepsakes (hello, cake toppers!) or your pup as the ring bearer, pets continue to take center stage. If your pet isn't into crowds, consider having them attend just for photos or the pawfect first look.
What’s Out:
-
Generic Decor Packages: 2025 couples are ditching the cookie-cutter in favor of details that scream them.
-
Wasteful Favours: Guests want something they’ll actually cherish, like edible treats or keepsake-worthy items. Get savvy and use them as an alternative to a name place card.
-
Overly Formal Vibes: Relaxed elegance is stealing the show, with mismatched seating and natural lighting replacing stiff setups.
-
All-White Weddings: While classic, adding a pop of personality through colour or other personal and meaningful touches is the vibe this year.
-
Unverified Vendors: In the age of reviews and in-person expos visits, authenticity is a must. Consider vendors who come recommended by couples who have used them as well as other vendors who have worked alongside them.
Whether you’re tying the knot in 2025 or even further out, I hope these ideas spark some inspiration! And as always, if you need a little help adding meaningful, pet-inspired touches to your day, I’m here.
