Weddings in 2025 are all about intentional choices. Couples are moving away from cookie-cutter events and instead focusing on authenticity, connection, and moments that reflect who they really are. Whether you’re planning something big or beautifully small, here are five trends we’re seeing that are making ceremonies more heartfelt than ever.
1. Venue with a View—and a Story
From mountaintop vows to backyard blessings, couples are prioritizing venues that carry personal meaning. Think: the orchard where they had their first date, the cabin where they got engaged, or even the family home. It’s less about grandeur, more about grounding the day in their story.
2. Unplugged and Unapologetic
This year, more couples are asking guests to put away phones and be fully present during the ceremony. Some include a sign or a gentle note in the program. The message is clear: “We want you here with us, not behind your screen.”
3. Micro Moments, Maximum Impact
From hand-written vows to private first looks or a shared prayer/blessing before the ceremony, 2025 couples are carving out intimate rituals that help them slow down and savor the day together. These micro moments often become the most memorable.
"I asked her to come early and play for our in church first look. Not only did she agree to arrive early, she made it a memorable private moment for myself and my husband." -Denise V.
4. Personalized Details with Heart
More couples are incorporating personalized touches that connect with their guests on an emotional level. These thoughtful gestures serve both as keepsakes and reminders that love is in the details. Whether it’s a meaningful quote, a shared inside joke, or a nod to family tradition, these custom items create a deeper emotional connection that lasts long after the day is over.
5. Local & Loved Vendors
Whether it's a family friend officiating or a musician who’s traveled across the San Juan Islands for their big day, couples are choosing vendors who feel personal. The connection matters just as much as the service—and that energy shows.
