2025 to 2027 Wedding Theme insights

Personalized Experiences: Couples are moving away from traditional wedding formats and are instead crafting events that reflect their personalities and values. This includes designing every detail to create a deeply curated experience, from themed welcome events to personalized keepsakes for guests.

Sustainability: Eco-friendly practices are becoming a priority. Couples are opting for second-hand or rented décor, digital RSVPs, and locally sourced food and flowers. This trend emphasizes meaningful choices that reduce environmental impact. 

Bold Colour Palettes: Expect to see vibrant colours dominating wedding décor. Couples are embracing rich tones like terracotta, emerald, and cobalt blue, moving away from neutral palettes. This trend includes "colour drenching," where a single hue is layered in various textures throughout the décor. 

Immersive Ceremonies: Weddings are becoming more experiential, with setups that encourage guest interaction. This includes garden-theatre ceremonies where guests are surrounded by nature, creating a more intimate and engaging atmosphere. 

Interactive Guest Experiences: Couples are focusing on creating memorable experiences for their guests beyond the dance floor. This includes DIY stations, audio guestbooks, and unique entertainment options that encourage participation. 

 Looking ahead to 2026, we think that there will be a shift away from the huge, grand affairs we have seen after Covid opened the world backup. 

Couples are moving toward intimate celebrations, often referred to as “micro-weddings”, that include only close family and a couple of friends. These smaller-scale events are easier on the budget and allow for a greater customization, ensuring an unforgettable experience for everyone present.

Again, looking at the technological trends of 2026, having your ceremony livestreamed can be the perfect option for all those guests not in attendance. 

 Couples in 2026 are increasingly seeking non-traditional venues that reflect their personalities and passions. 

From farm chic to Industrial warehouses, art galleries to vineyards or botanical gardens, under the water, the search for a different, even quirky event space will be popular choices. 

For those looking to break away from conventional wedding locations, this provides that opportunity. 

Embracing unique venues creates a one-of-a-kind ambiance that reflects the couple’s style and interests. 

 With ever increasing awareness surrounding environmental issues, couples in 2026 are embracing sustainability as a core theme in their celebrations. 

Weddings are becoming more conscious of their ecological footprint – from eco-friendly decor and local, “farm-to-fork” catering options to carbon-neutral transportation and zero-waste practices. 

Couples are also opting for faux flowers,  using recycled materials in their bouquets, invitations (or going all electric), and supporting sustainable fashion choices. No matter which element of your wedding planning you are on, there are always sustainable options out there! 

Nature-inspired colours are gaining popularity for weddings, and for good reason. 

Earthy greens, soft blues, and warm terracotta bring a sense of serenity and harmony to your celebration. These natural hues are perfect for outdoor weddings, rustic-themed ceremonies, or any bride looking to infuse a touch of the great outdoors into her big day. 

Picture lush greenery and earth-toned blooms adorning your wedding venue.

If you want to add a touch of luxury and sophistication to your wedding, consider incorporating metallic accents. 

Gold, rose gold, and copper are all the rage, whether it's in your wedding stationery, tableware, or even your bouquet. 

These shimmering elements bring a sense of opulence to your celebration and create a chic, contemporary vibe.

 If you are a bride who loves to make a statement, consider incorporating bold and vibrant colours into your wedding palette. 

In 2024-2025, expect to see shades like rich emerald green, deep royal blue, and passionate crimson taking centre stage. 

These hues can add energy and personality to your wedding decor and floral arrangements. Imagine the impact of a stunning crimson bridal bouquet against a white wedding dress!
