Our 2025 Wedding Trends

With the new year nearly upon us, look ahead to 2025 and what the 2025 wedding trends will be to ensure that your wedding is on trend and as perfect as it can be! Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and your partner to share the very best of your relationship with those who are closest to you.

As award-winning Essex caterers, we’ve got a bit of a knack for understanding things that are becoming more and more popular in the wedding industry. So through our knowledge and some deeper research into new trends that are on the rise in 2025, we’ve listed some new trends to help you plan the best wedding for your guests in 2025!

Photography and Footage

Drone Footage

The use of drones is not exactly a new trend but it’s a trend that is massively on the rise and in 2025, we expect there to be a high percentage of summer weddings utilising the unique angles that only a drone can capture. Traditionally drone cameras are best for video footage and a highly trained videographer will know the best angles to capture footage either from his handheld camera or whether the shot would be best suited from the drone.  

Content Creators

Wedding content creators are one of the new 2025 wedding trends to consider for your wedding. They do not replace a videographer but provide a closer more intimate social media experience all from their mobile devices. They do this by capturing footage for the likes of TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. This means those guests who couldn’t make it or didn’t quite make the cut, can stay tuned with all of the celebrations throughout the day. 

Instagram and TikTok backdrops or booths

A break away from traditional photobooths with props is the rise in Instagram and TikTok-worthy backdrops and booths. Creative backdrops that your guests can’t help but share on their social platforms. There are some that are purely decorational and others that are personalised to match the theme of the wedding and the names of the happy couple. We expect to have more backdrops and booths in the 2025 wedding season.

Bridal and Groomswear

2025 wedding trends for men

For men, it is the elegant Black Tie Tuxedo. A staple look in many James Bond films, we’ve spotted a rise in the last few years and highly anticipate that 2025 will see even more grooms and groomsmen wearing keeping the iconic Black Tie Tux well and truly on trend and current. 

2025 wedding trends for women

Short wedding dresses are a popular trend for 2025. With brides opting for a shorter, simplistic wedding dress. We’ve researched and found that Google searches for shorter wedding dresses are just under 15,000 per month. Information kindly given to us by our marketing company, Koala Digital.

Catering and Desserts

As the number one choice for Essex catering services, we are seeing more and more couples opting for alternative evening food options for guests once they have devoured a 3-course meal from your award-winning Essex caterers. For 2025 we feel there will be more ‘help yourself’ options. 

A popular 2025 wedding trend will see more comfort foods!

Pizza

The perfect comfort food where guests can enjoy a pizza to soak up the drinks from throughout the day. Our woodfired pizza trailer is an ideal choice for your wedding that is following the 2025 wedding trends.

Street food

Gyros, burgers, wraps, curry and paella. Those are a few options that we at Plenty of Thyme offer in our street food options and we expect there to be more weddings that aim to provide guests with comfort foods at their wedding in 2025. 

Dessert stations

Each year the dessert stations get bigger, better and more creative! 

For desserts, our choice for 2025 wedding trends that we fully expect to see is dessert bars where users can pick from a selection of choices, again adding to the ‘help yourself’ trend. Plenty of Thyme’s elite Essex catering services give you a great solution of sweet treats to create the perfect dessert bar. 

Gluten intolerances are on the rise so naturally, brides and grooms are considering this when they plan for their desserts. With a separate gluten-free dessert table something we expect to be at many weddings in the 2025 wedding season. 

Themes

Sustainable weddings are a very popular choice and we believe they will be a very strong 2025 wedding trend for themes. With recyclable disposables and decorations, we expect brides and grooms to continue to do their bit for our planet. 

As we look ahead to the new wedding season, we are looking forward to providing our award-winning Essex catering services at weddings that are following 2025 wedding trends.
