Wedding Trends in 2025 and 2026 👰♀️💍🤵
2025 and 2026 are the years of weddings that dare to be different. Smaller, bigger, more colorful, or more intimate — as long as it fits you. At the end, I’ll wrap everything up for you in a clear overview.
1. Intimate & personalized
Traditions are a thing of the past — more and more couples are choosing ceremonies that reflect their unique story. Think: a first look in a meadow, next to the cows! That’s exactly what Timon & Kim did.
2. Weekend vibes instead of just one day
Who says love has to fit into a single day? In 2025 and 2026, multi-day wedding celebrations are the trend: from a welcome drink on Friday evening to a relaxed brunch on Sunday.
In 2026, my friend Svenja and I are booked for a multi-day wedding in Piedmont, Italy. Irma has a stunning venue there , and we’re excited to capture both the photography and videography!
3. Sustainability is the new standard
Eco-conscious weddings are both trendy *and* important. From invitations and decorations made of recycled materials to flowers from local growers and vegan catering— you’re making choices that are both mindful and stylish.
Svenja and I have been on a plant-based diet since 2017! On top of that, we work with sustainable materials and can also connect you with other vendors who value this, such as wedding planner Cilvie — pictured here — from Perfecte Bruiloften!!
4. Bridal dress: versatile & bold
Bridal fashion in 2025 and 2026 is bursting with creativity: think edgy jackets, sequin or pearl vests, daring slits, sheer fabrics, capes or winged veils, corset silhouettes, and playful short second looks. For the finishing touch: a subtle sparkle or floral accent. Kim is a perfect example of this:
5. Decoration: bold and colorful
Less is not more — it’s all about standing out: lush backdrops, grand centerpieces, and dramatic lighting such as neon signs, floating candles, or twinkling lights. Patrick & Merel put their own spin on this.
The color of 2025? Future Dusk — a mysterious blend of deep blue and purple.
6. Champagnetorens als eyecatcher
Een epic proostmoment? Laat champagne van boven naar beneden door een toren stromen, met de optie om te sabreren. Dit is niet alleen een feestelijk moment, maar ook een visueel spektakel dat je gasten niet snel zullen vergeten.
7. Music: from ceremony to last dance
Music sets the mood — all day long. House, disco (with funky remixes!), reggaeton for that summer vibe, and jazz (yes, including saxophone!) during the reception. Add a mix of your favorite songs and let the DJ create the party — before you know it, you’ll be up in the air!
