Planning your 2025 wedding and want it to feel fresh, stylish, and totally you? As a LI wedding photographer, I get a front-row seat to what’s trending—and what’s tired. Whether you’re dreaming of a Hamptons estate wedding or a laid-back beach elopement, here are the top wedding trends for 2025 you need to know about.
LI Photographer – Top Wedding Trends for 2025 Every Bride Should Know
1. Weekday Weddings Are the New Black
Think Thursdays are off-limits? Think again. Weekday weddings are on the rise for 2025—especially for couples looking to secure high-end venues and vendors (like your fave LI wedding photographer) without the weekend markup.
2. Bold Color Palettes Over Neutrals
Goodbye beige-on-beige. 2025 couples are choosing vibrant, personality-packed color stories—think deep emerald, bold coral, and unexpected pairings like lavender + rust.
3. Editorial-Style Photography
Forget cookie-cutter poses. This year, couples are loving cinematic, editorial-style photos that feel like they belong in Vogue Weddings. (P.S. This is kinda my thing. 😉)
4. Statement Fashion Moments
Two looks? Try three. Brides are going bold with dramatic overskirts, afterparty mini dresses, and even colored gowns. Grooms are stepping up, too—with velvet suits, sleek monochrome, and high-fashion shoes.
5. Luxe Intimate Weddings
Small guest lists, big impact. The “micro wedding” is evolving into an intentional, luxurious experience—with high-end florals, private chef meals, and custom everything.
6. Audio Guest Books & Vintage Touches
Forget the pen and paper. Audio guest books (hello, rotary phones!) are big in 2025, along with retro lounge setups, disco balls, and ‘70s-inspired vibes.
7. Destination-Inspired Long Island Weddings
Can’t make it to Italy? Bring Italy to the Hamptons. More couples are choosing local “destination-style” weddings—think Tuscan tablescapes, al fresco dining, and European flair… all on Long Island.
Final Thoughts from Your LI Wedding Photographer
Whether you’re all-in on the bold colors or still deciding between an intimate backyard soirée or vineyard blowout, these wedding trends for 2025 are all about celebrating your style.
