Top Wedding Trends for 2025: What to Expect for Your Big Day
If you’re planning a wedding in 2025, you’re in for a treat! The latest trends are all about adding personality, sustainability, and interactive elements that make your day memorable for both you and your guests. I recently had the pleasure of sharing these trends on Ireland AM (see video below!), and here’s the full breakdown of what’s hot in weddings this year.
1. Alternative Foodie Options
Gone are the days of traditional menus dominating every wedding. Couples are stepping outside the box and using food to showcase their personalities. Some of the hottest options include:
- Sweet Walls: A fun icebreaker for guests, where they can create their pick-and-mix moments. It’s a great talking point and keeps the atmosphere lively. (Sweet Wall: WOW Weddings Ireland)

- Charcuterie Boards: Perfect for arrival receptions, these are sociable, stylish, and totally on-trend. (The Charcuterie Countess)
- Cheese Wheel Cake: An innovative alternative to traditional wedding cakes, this is perfect for couples who love a good cheese board. (The Traditional Cheese Company) You can order a tasting pack right here.

2. Sustainable Floral Options
Sustainability continues to take centre stage in the wedding industry, with couples opting for eco-conscious choices wherever possible.
- Dried Flowers: Bouquets and decor made from dried flowers are not only gorgeous but also long-lasting. You can keep your bouquet as a memento without any waste. (One More Thing)
- Many venues are also adopting net-zero missions, while couples embrace pre-loved dresses and decor to make their weddings more sustainable.

3. The Branded Wedding
Branding isn’t just for businesses anymore—couples are creating their own personalised wedding brands to elevate their celebrations.
- Wedding Logos: From initials to unique logos, couples are stamping their signature style everywhere.
