2026 / 2025 Upcoming Wedding Themes

 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! 

 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. 

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!  

For a whimsical and fresh feel, a combination of soft pastels with pops of citrus tones is a perfect choice. 

Pair light and airy pastel shades like blush pink, lavender, and mint green with vibrant citrus colors such as lemon yellow or tangerine. 

This palette adds a playful touch and works well for outdoor or garden weddings. Incorporate these colors through floral arrangements, table linens, and even the wedding cake design.

Embrace the romantic and earthy vibes of 2024 with an enchanting color palette featuring blush and terracotta. This combination exudes warmth, elegance, and a touch of bohemian charm. 

Blush, a delicate and feminine shade, pairs beautifully with the rich and earthy terracotta tone. Use blush as the primary color for the bridesmaid dresses, floral arrangements, and linens, while terracotta can be incorporated through clay pots, table settings, and even in the groom's accessories. Add accents of greenery or dried flowers for an organic touch.

For couples seeking a dramatic and luxurious ambiance, bold and vibrant jewel tones will be on-trend in 2024. 

This palette includes rich colors like emerald green, sapphire blue, amethyst purple, and ruby red. These opulent hues can be infused into various elements, such as floral arrangements, table linens, and bridesmaid dresses. Incorporate metallic accents like gold or silver to elevate the overall look and add a touch of glamour.
