10 Wedding Trends We Love for 2025 So Far
Here at New Pace Weddings, we have the privilege of capturing some of the most incredible trends as they unfold in real time. And let us tell you—2025 is shaping up to be a year of intentional, stylish, and deeply personal wedding choices. From unique aesthetics to unforgettable experiences, here are some of the trends we’re absolutely loving for 2025 weddings!
1. Unconventional Photo Backdrops
Couples are embracing creative and unconventional photo backdrops to make their wedding portraits truly stand out. Instead of traditional garden settings or ballroom décor, we’re seeing industrial warehouse spaces, neon-lit cityscapes, urban alleyways, bars, and moody bookshops becoming go-to spots for unique wedding photography. Whether it’s a mural wall or a breathtaking natural landscape, these unexpected backdrops add a layer of personality and artistry to wedding photos, making them even more memorable.

2. Content Creation for Instant Sharing
Couples are incorporating content creation into their wedding day to capture and share real-time moments. Professional content creators are being hired to film behind-the-scenes footage, create TikToks and Instagram Reels, and ensure that all the fun, emotional, and spontaneous moments are remembered forever. This trend is perfect for couples who want to relive their wedding day in a candid, unfiltered way alongside their polished photography and videography. Here at New Pace, we offer content creation services to add on to your package!
3. Embracing Culture

Couples are weaving their cultural backgrounds into their wedding day more than ever, creating celebrations that are both meaningful and unique. Whether it’s incorporating traditional attire, ceremonies, cultural dances, or authentic cuisine, weddings in 2025 are all about honoring heritage in a way that feels personal. We’re seeing beautiful fusion weddings that blend traditions from both partners’ backgrounds.
4. Non-Traditional Wedding Attire

Fashion-forward couples are stepping outside of the traditional white dress and black tux combo. Expect to see colorful gowns, embroidered veils, chic mini dresses for receptions, and grooms opting for bold, stylish looks. Even wedding party attire is becoming more unique, with mismatched bridesmaid dresses and statement accessories.
6. Drapery in Reception
In 2025, drapery is taking center stage in wedding reception design, transforming venues into ethereal, romantic settings. From cascading ceiling installations to elegant wall treatments, fabric is being used to add depth, texture, and a touch of luxury to any space.

7. Off Camera Flash Photography

Off Camera Flash photography is what we specialize in here at New Pace. It brings a editorial feel to reception shots, capturing all the fun, movement, and joy of the party. Off-camera flash gives your photos that polished, high-end look you see in magazines and on social media. It’s the kind of lighting that makes you look the best in every photo, and gives your memories a timeless elegance, ensuring that you’ll love your photos for years to come.
8. Unexpected Ceremony Setups

More couples are thinking outside the box when it comes to ceremony design. Circular seating arrangements, asymmetrical floral installations, and unique backdrops (think art galleries, rooftops, or historic libraries) are making ceremonies feel more immersive and visually stunning.
9. Private First Dances and Reception Space Reveals
While the grand exit will always be a classic, many couples are embracing the idea of a private last dance, a moment just for the two of you to soak in the final moments of their wedding day before heading off into newlywed life. It’s an intimate, romantic way to end the night, and we’re absolutely here for it!
10. Colorful and Fun Florals

Neutral palettes will always have their place in wedding design, but 2025 is all about color! Couples are embracing vibrant, statement-making florals that infuse their wedding day with personality and joy. From bold hues like coral, fuchsia, and tangerine to unexpected color combinations.
More Memories to Come in 2025!
As these exciting trends shape the weddings of 2025, one thing remains clear: the day is all about celebrating love with bold, unforgettable choices.
At New Pace Weddings, we’d love to be there to capture every stunning moment of your 2025 celebration. Our calendar is filling up quickly, and we have limited availability left for this year. Contact us today to secure your spot, and let’s create something truly magical together!
