Spotlight: 2025 Wedding Fashion Forecast

As wedding season approaches, couples everywhere are dreaming up their perfect day, complete with showstopping fashion and personal touches. From bold statement pieces to timeless classics with a twist, the 2025 wedding fashion trends are all about individuality, creativity and celebrating love in style. Here’s a look at the latest trends taking center stage this year.

Bridal Gowns: Effortless Elegance 

This year's brides are opting for effortless, relaxed looks that reflect their true selves. Gone are the days of stiff, overly structured gowns. Brides are choosing dresses that feel as natural and comfortable as they do beautiful. Soft, flowing fabrics, such as chiffon, tulle, and silk, are being paired with loose, romantic silhouettes that allow for movement and ease. 

For those looking for a gown that combines tradition with versatility, convertible dresses are becoming increasingly popular. These dresses offer detachable elements - such as skirts, sleeves, or overskirts - allowing brides to easily transition from ceremony to reception with a chic new look. 

Additionally, vintage-inspired gowns are making a comeback, with elements like lace, beading, and embroidered details creating a timeless, romantic vibe. These designs pair beautifully with modern touches, adding a unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary fashion. 

In a fresh take on tradition, a second or party dress is becoming an exciting trend, offering brides a chance to showcase an alternative look. "Our favorite trend is getting a second or party dress that is not white. Previous Bride Megan's dress was stunning and ethereal - the perfect change for a refined yet modern bride. The gown features a unique pleated texture that cascades beautifully down the bodice and skirt, creating soft, organic waves. The structured silhouette includes sculpted detailing, with delicate ruffled edges framing the waist and bodice, adding a romantic, artistic flair. The hue was anything but traditional white, bringing out a silvery gray tone.” ~ Alisha Ricks-Sturgill, The Indigo Bride

Groomswear: Bold Statements & Personalized Style

Grooms are stepping into the spotlight in 2025 with a bolder, more personalized approach to wedding fashion. While brides have traditionally been the focus of wedding-day style, grooms are now embracing the opportunity to make their own statement.

Men are opting for suits made from luxe fabrics like velvet or jacquard, adding texture and depth to their look while maintaining sophistication. "Classic suits are being elevated with thoughtful, unique details - like colorful floral boutonnieres that break tradition and make a statement," says Joie Thongsavath of . "Think lush arrangements cascading down a lapel, featuring vibrant blooms in unexpected palettes. This modern twist allows grooms to coordinate with wedding florals while standing out with a fresh, dapper edge. It’s about celebrating individuality and personal style. Whether it’s pairing a sleek, tailored suit with a playful pop of color or embracing texture and unique florals, grooms are stepping into their own and becoming a focal point of wedding day fashion." While classic black and navy suits remain popular, grooms are also incorporating bold colors and patterns into their wardrobes.
