As Drakewood looks ahead to 2025, the wedding industry continues to change in
exciting ways, blending timeless traditions with fresh, personalized touches. As we have
seen many trends coming and going, couples are embracing creativity like never before.
Let’s dive into what Drakewood thinks will be trending for 2025!

Blurry and Movement Photos Will Be Sticking Around for 2025

Blurry or action photography continues to be a favorite for some couples in 2025.
Capturing the energy and emotion of a wedding day in a more abstract, artistic way.
These shots can have a soft focus of the couple or a loud energy movement shot when
taken on the dance floor.

Personalized Bridesmaids Dresses

In 2025, bridesmaids’ dresses are getting a significant makeover. We might see more
matching gowns, while some brides are embracing diversity in styles, colors, and
textures. Bridesmaids may be seen dancing in different patterns, fabrics, shades, or a
single color. This allows each person to express their style while staying within the wedding theme. This trend allows for a more inclusive and personalized look so bridesmaids can feel confident.

Intimate and Micro Weddings

The trend of intimate weddings continues to gain momentum at Drakewood in 2025,
with couples opting for micro weddings and destination events that focus on the people
who matter most. Micro weddings are perfect for couples prioritizing connection over
extravagance, creating lasting memories with a smaller celebration.

Second Bridal Dresses

Many brides are opting for a second and sometimes more practical bridal dress for the
reception. Whether it’s a flirty mini dress or lighter weight style, the second dress allows
brides to dance the night away.

Personalized Cocktail Hour

In 2025, the personalized cocktail hour will take center stage, with couples naming
drinks after their pets, favorite places, meaningful experiences, and adding activities for
guests. These cocktails not only reflect the couple’s personality but also give guests
something to connect with and enjoy throughout the evening. Custom cocktail menus
are a fun way to add a personal touch to the bar. For a unique touch, couples also
incorporate personal crossword puzzles with questions about how they met, their
favorite memories, and other milestones, offering guests an engaging way to learn more about their love story.

Catering Trends

In 2025, wedding catering is becoming more dynamic and fun, with more and more
couples identifying as “foodies.” We are seeing couples opting for more sides and
entrées, and we predict seeing more late-night snacks, gazing tables, and food trucks,
bringing gourmet street food, late-night pizza, and variety in grazing tables.
Since Drakewood offers custom catering, they can design a late-night snack option
such as “Hot or Not Chicken” or ethnic bites to keep guests satisfied in a fun, casual
way. Your guests will be talking about your food for years to come.

Revived Vintage Inspiration with Bold Colors

Bringing the vintage back in 2025! Vintage-inspired wedding trends are making a
comeback in 2025 with a twist—bold, vibrant colors! Think lace dresses with intricate
floral patterns, jewel tones in floral arrangements, and warm, retro-inspired hues that
create a dramatic contrast against classic vintage details.

New First Dance Songs

Couples in 2025 are moving away from the traditional "At Last" or "Perfect" first dance
songs, opting instead for tracks that reflect their unique style and taste. Whether it’s a
modern love song, an indie hit, or even a nostalgic tune from their youth, the first dance song is becoming more of a personal reflection of the couple’s relationship.

Private Vows

At Drakewood, we have seen more couples opting for private vow exchanges during
their wedding, keeping their most intimate promises between them. These personal
vows can be shared during a first look, first touch, or in a quiet, private moment before
or after the ceremony. This trend allows for a more emotional and personal connection during the wedding day, offering a moment of vulnerability and intimacy apart from the public ceremony.

Personalized Signage

Personalized signage is another standout trend for 2025, adding style and meaning to
wedding celebrations, from elegant welcome signs that greet guests with the couple’s
monogram to handwritten seating charts. Couples are even incorporating interactive
elements, like QR code signs that lead guests to digital photo albums or playlists
curated for the event.

Variety of Desserts

Couples are expanding the dessert game in 2025, moving beyond the traditional
wedding cake to offer a variety to their guests. Think donut walls, pie stations,
cheesecake bars, ice cream stations, cobbler bars, and even elaborate dessert bars
with lots of variety. By diversifying the dessert options, couples can offer their favorite
desserts or have something for everyone and elevate the reception experience.
Couples can allow guests to create a fun and interactive experience with these ideas.
