Twenty-twenty-five is shaping up to be a year of bold choices and intimate celebrations in the wedding world. Expect to see a departure from the traditional, with a focus on personal expression and unique touches. Here are some of the top wedding trends we predict will be making waves this year:


1. Mocha Mousse: The Colour of the Year

Pantone's Colour of the Year for 2025 is predicted to be the warm and inviting "Mocha Mousse." This earthy hue will be seen everywhere from wedding invitations to table settings, adding a touch of sophistication and warmth to any celebration.

3. Wedding Portrait Backdrops:

Couples are opting for more personalised wedding portraits this year, and stunning backdrops are playing a key role. Think lush floral arrangements, dramatic drapery, and even whimsical chiffon arches adorned with blooms. These backdrops provide a unique and memorable setting for capturing those special moments.

Drapery is making a grand entrance in 2025, adding a touch of elegance and drama to any wedding venue. From flowing fabrics that adorn ceremony arches to cascading curtains that frame the reception space, expect to see this trend everywhere.

5. Metallic Accents:

Shimmering metallics are adding a touch of glamour to 2025 weddings. Think gold and silver flatware, sparkling tablecloths, and shimmering accents in floral arrangements.

These are just a few of the exciting wedding trends we predict will be making waves in 2025. As couples continue to prioritise personal expression and meaningful experiences, we can expect to see even more unique and unforgettable celebrations this year.

6. Chaotic Cakes:

Say goodbye to perfectly symmetrical cakes! In 2025, we're seeing a rise in "chaotic" cakes with asymmetrical designs, unexpected textures, and bold colour combinations. These unique creations are a reflection of the individuality and personality of the couple and are often beaming with bright florals too.

7. Single Stems & Fruity Flair:

Minimalism meets maximalism in 2025 with the use of single-stem floral arrangements and creative fruit and vegetable styling. Think vibrant bouquets of sunflowers or delicate branches of cherry blossoms paired with artistically arranged fruits and vegetables on the tables.

8. Organic Floral Clusters:

Expect to see a return to nature with organic floral clusters taking center stage. Loose and flowing arrangements with a focus on seasonal blooms and natural greenery will create a romantic and effortless look.

Couples are increasingly opting for intimate destination weddings that transform into a romantic getaway for guests. These celebrations often involve a relaxed itinerary with activities like welcome dinners, recovery breakfasts and exploring the local area. All of which are apart of your Merribee wedding package.
