2025 Wedding Décor and Floral Trends to Watch

As we step into 2025, the world of event design is vibing with bold ideas, luxurious details, and boundary-pushing creativity. At a|CREATE, we live for trends that inspire unforgettable moments, and this year’s predictions are full of magic and we can’t WAIT to incorporate it ALL!

From lush florals to sustainable elegance, here’s what’s making waves in event, décor, and floral design this year – of course also featuring the Pantone’s Colour of the Year: Mocha Mousse.

1. Retro, Vintage Décor Design

Vintage and retro-inspired decor is making a bold statement in 2025 wedding trends, blending nostalgia with contemporary elegance. Think mid-century modern furniture, draped linen, antique candlesticks, and retro patterns paired with modern accents like LED table lights.

This design style allows couples to tell a story through curated heirloom pieces, vintage glassware, and meaningful finds that evoke timeless charm. The beauty of vintage décor lies in its versatility—whether you’re embracing Art Deco opulence or a vintage 80’s celebration, it creates a uniquely personal and unforgettable atmosphere for your big day.

2. Silver is the New Metallic

In 2025, vintage silver emerges as the metallic hue of choice, exuding timeless elegance and old-world charm. Unlike its modern, polished counterpart, vintage silver offers a softer, weathered patina that evokes a sense of history and romance. Think ornate candelabras, tarnished silverware, and filigree frames that add a touch of understated luxury to any wedding setting. This antique finish pairs beautifully with muted tones like neutral hues, sage, and ivory, creating a dreamy, ethereal ambiance. Whether incorporated through heirloom decor pieces or delicately distressed accents, vintage silver brings depth and character to your wedding design, perfect for couples seeking a nostalgic yet sophisticated aesthetic.

3. Green & White Colour Scheme

A green and white wedding palette with a touch of black is the epitome of chic in 2025, offering a harmonious blend of timeless elegance and modern sophistication. The crisp whites and lush greenery create a fresh, organic base, perfect for everything from floral arrangements to tablescapes.

Adding a touch of black—whether through sleek stationery, black candlesticks, or bold chairs—provides a striking contrast, grounding the palette and adding a dramatic edge. This trendy combination works beautifully in any setting, from airy outdoor ceremonies to sleek urban venues, creating a look that’s both versatile and undeniably stylish.

4. Lilies Bridal Bouquet

Using only arum lilies for bridal bouquets creates a stunning statement of elegance and simplicity. These graceful blooms, with their sleek, sculptural shape and velvety texture, exude timeless sophistication. Whether in classic white for a clean, minimalist look or bold hues like deep burgundy or golden yellow for a contemporary twist, arum lilies carry a sense of understated luxury. Their long stems and natural curves lend themselves perfectly to modern, hand-tied arrangements or cascading designs, making them an ideal choice for brides seeking a refined, impactful bouquet that speaks volumes without the need for additional embellishment.

5. Sustainable Elegance

Sustainability is a key focus for weddings in 2025, as couples increasingly prioritise eco-conscious choices to reduce their environmental impact. From selecting venues that emphasise green practices to opting for locally sourced flowers and organic catering, there are countless ways to make your celebration more sustainable. Reusable décor, such as elegant fabric table runners, upcycled centrepieces, and potted plants, can add beauty while minimising waste. Additionally, digital invitations and eco-friendly wedding favours—like seed packets or bamboo keepsakes—help cut down on paper consumption. By choosing a sustainable approach, you’re not only creating a memorable event but also contributing to a more environmentally responsible future.

6. Curved tables

Curved tables and round tables arranged in a worm or serpentine shape are a hot trend in 2025, creating an organic and visually captivating flow for your wedding celebration.

These dynamic table arrangements break away from traditional straight lines, promoting a sense of togetherness and intimacy by allowing guests to sit in a continuous, sweeping curve. The undulating shape encourages conversation and connection, while also providing a striking focal point for your decor.

Whether paired with minimalist centrepieces or lush floral installations, curved tables offer a modern, elegant twist that adds a unique and stylish touch to your event layout.

7. Dramatic Drapery

Incorporating drapery into your wedding design is an absolute must for creating an atmosphere of romance and elegance. Flowing fabrics can transform any space, adding softness, depth, and movement to your decor. Whether used to frame a dramatic ceremony arch, cascade from ceiling installations, or create an intimate reception backdrop, drapery elevates the ambiance with a luxurious touch.

From airy chiffon for a dreamy, ethereal vibe to rich velvets for a moody, dramatic effect, the versatility of drapery allows it to suit any wedding style. Paired with strategic lighting, it can enhance the play of shadows and highlights, turning your venue into a breathtaking masterpiece.

8. Customised and Illustrated Table Linen

Customised and illustrated table runners and tablecloths are making a bold statement in 2025, offering a creative way to personalise your wedding décor. These bespoke linens can be designed to reflect your unique style, from intricate floral patterns and geometric designs to meaningful illustrations that tell your love story.

Whether you opt for a soft, hand-drawn botanical motif, personalised calligraphed names at each setting or a striking modern graphic, custom table runners and cloths elevate your tablescape with an artistic flair. This trend adds a layer of depth and individuality to your wedding, transforming each table into a one-of-a-kind centrepiece that’s both functional and visually captivating.

9. Dessert Towers

Dessert alternatives like tiramisu and berry champagne towers are perfect for couples looking to step away from traditional wedding cakes and offer something unique and indulgent. A beautifully layered tiramisu served in individual champagne coupes is a decadent option that brings a touch of Italian flair to your celebration. For a visually stunning showstopper—think tiers of champagne glasses adorned with fresh berries. These creative alternatives not only delight guests but also add a memorable, personalised touch to your dessert table.

10.Intimate Gatherings with Big Impact

Smaller celebrations are here to stay, but 2025 couples are going all-out with their design. Think high-end table styling, bold floral installations, and curated guest experiences that make intimate events feel grand. Choosing an intimate celebration for your wedding allows you to focus on what truly matters—creating meaningful moments with your closest family and friends. A smaller guest list fosters a warm, relaxed atmosphere, letting you connect personally with everyone present.

This approach also opens the door to multi-day celebrations, giving you more time to savour the experience without the pressure of cramming everything into one day. Imagine a welcome dinner under the stars, a cosy wedding day ceremony and reception, and a post-wedding brunch to wrap up the festivities. Going intimate lets you embrace quality over quantity, curating a celebration that’s deeply personal, memorable, and filled with intentional moments.

11.Maximalist Minimalism

Minimalist design will probably be getting a dramatic twist this year with bold statement pieces. Sleek tablescapes that are elevated by oversized floral installations, rich textures, and sculptural decor elements will also be on trend. The result? A space that feels modern, refined, yet full of character.

Think fruit and vegetable installations with floral touches or even just the use of candles with bold hydrangea installations.

12. Mocha Mousse: The Neutral Star of 2025

Pantone’s Mocha Mousse will definitely be stealing the show this year, and for good reason. This warm, velvety shade of brown is the perfect base for any event. Pair it with earthy tones like sage green and whites for a grounded, natural vibe, or elevate it with metallics for an ultra-luxurious feel.

But how to use it? Mocha Mousse table linens, velvet lounge furniture, or as a base for stunning floral arrangements. The opportunities are endless!
