As another beautiful year of celebrations comes to a close, we’ve been reflecting on the moments, details, and creative touches that made 2025 weddings so memorable. From timeless design choices to thoughtful experiences, these are the elements that made this year’s events feel both deeply personal and effortlessly elevated and the ones we hope continue to define the celebrations to come.
Draping That Defines a Room
There’s something undeniably magical about the way draping transforms a space. From ethereal tented designs to refined textures, thoughtful draping creates an atmosphere that feels both intimate and grand. It softens the edges, adds depth and dimension, and creates a backdrop that feels distinctly romantic without overpowering the setting. It’s a detail we’ll never tire of photographing.
The Second Look, Reimagined
The “second look” has officially become a wedding staple and we’re loving every bit of it. From brides to grooms, these stylish outfit changes add such a playful, fashion-forward twist to the celebration. Beyond just a new dress, many brides are embracing a full transformation: swapping hairstyles, slipping into statement shoes, or adding bold accessories for the reception. The shift brings a renewed energy to the evening and perfectly marks the transition from ceremony to celebration. It’s not about more, it’s about expression and we hope this creative spirit continues to shine in the years ahead.
Weekend Events That Invite Connection
One of the best evolutions in recent years has been how couples approach their wedding weekends. Beyond luncheons and welcome dinners, we’ve seen events designed around connection and fun. We have seen pickleball matches, creative workshops, beach days, and more! These gatherings give guests a chance to relax and celebrate in a more personal way, setting the tone for a weekend that feels like them.
Bridesmaid Style with Personality
Coordinated doesn’t have to mean identical. We’ve loved seeing bridal parties embrace mismatched dresses. Unified by palette, texture, or tone, but varied in style. The result feels elevated yet effortless, timeless yet fresh. Each bridesmaid looks like the best version of herself, and the overall aesthetic in photos feels layered, intentional, and beautiful.
Entertainment That Tells a Story
The joy of a full dance floor will never fade, but this year showed us that true celebration lives in the unexpected, the moments that surprise, engage, and invite guests to be part of the story. Live painters, custom hat bars, interactive photo moments, and magicians who move through the crowd have all added personality and delight to the evening. These experiences keep guests talking, but more importantly, they reflect the couple’s spirit, making the night unmistakably their own.
If 2025 weddings taught us anything, it’s that beauty lies in the balance between tradition and creativity, intimacy and celebration, timelessness and personal expression. As we look ahead to the 2026 season, we hope to see couples continue leaning into that balance, creating moments that feel both meaningful and magical in equal measure.
