Your list of theme weddings trending in 2025
We have adopted sustainability as a mainstay going forward. So reusing materials and shunning away non eco friendly materials is our mantra for 2025.
Destinations in India are trending and what better than having a beach wedding with the sand being used as decor or mountains that throw up natural photo booth backdrops
We have also embarked on a new journey of offering our clients 10 distinct mood palettes to choose from. Each one is a deep dive into that theme, which allows them to see how it is translated into all aspects of the celebration.

Food styles to trend in 2025
The era of large buffets is over; Chef-driven pop-ups are taking centre stage. For example, if you fancy a dosa, There’s no better choice than a Sagar Ratna pop-up to serve it fresh and authentic!
Similarly, more and more speciality restaurants are agreeing to counter-based pop-up experiences at weddings.
Which countries do you see being top choices in 2025 and why
India will remain a favourite with a new lens of inbound tourism for weddings that are on the rise. In the Middle East, the UAE remains the favourite with its value-for-money deals.

Mexico is a new rising destination and we are all set to do our first destination wedding in Mexico City in 2025.
What kind of locations will couples prefer in 2025
A location is a personal choice. But more and more couples are opting for quieter and more peaceful locations. Forest resorts are fast becoming a favourite for intimate weddings. In all any destination that gives a couple a relaxed vibe is what will trend.
Colours, lighting, flowers – ambience that will trend
Sage green is clearly the colour for 2025. From suits to curtains, this restful shade is what is ruling the colour board.

Reusing materials and flowers is another trend we are seeing. Another first at Weddingline where we have couples sharing decor and sets and saving money – but also being mindful of the waste.

Wedding Jewellery
Less is more is the mantra here too. Brides are no longer decking up like they used to. But wearing family heirlooms that their mothers and grandmothers wore.
Bride and Groom wear in 2025
Clothes are still a personal style. There is no taking away from the designers.

Ironically the trend is not to have another mega wedding spectacle that was seen off late. Couples are getting more personal. Taking time to out to call guests and welcome them when they come in. It goes a long way to show the world that the guests are more important than the bride and groom and their families.
Couples are now writing their own vows and reading them aloud, making their guests witnesses to this heartfelt exchange.
While traditional elements still hold a strong presence, the influence of modern societal trends plays a pivotal part in the ceremony, adding a personal and contemporary touch.
