Wedding Trends 2025
Wedding Trends We're Loving in 2025
Intimate, Meaningful, and Intentional
This year's wedding trends are deeply resonating with me, both personally and professionally. We're seeing a strong shift towards intimate, meaningful, and intentional design, with couples prioritizing quality over quantity. As a small business dedicated to curating intimate and beautifully designed weddings with a focus on quality ingredients and local vendors, this feels like our time to truly shine.
One of the most significant trends we're observing is a decrease in guest counts. This shift can be attributed to several factors, including:
Rising Costs: The increasing cost of goods has forced many couples to re-evaluate their budgets, often leading them to opt for smaller guest lists.
Destination Weddings: More couples are choosing to celebrate with their closest loved ones through destination weddings, creating intimate and unforgettable experiences.
This move towards smaller, more intimate gatherings aligns perfectly with our philosophy. We believe that weddings should be a celebration of love and connection and that focusing on quality over quantity allows for a more meaningful and personal experience for both the couple and their guests.
In the Floral World, This Looks Like:
Sustainability has been a cornerstone of our business from the very beginning. Our clients are increasingly conscious of their environmental impact, and we share their commitment. That's why we:
Embrace Sustainable Practices: We've completely eliminated the use of floral foam, a major contributor to environmental harm. We prioritize recycling whenever possible and strive for minimal waste in all our designs.
Showcasing Local Goods: We strongly believe in supporting local florists and growers. While the availability of local blooms varies seasonally and with the scale of each wedding, we're thrilled to see the increasing demand for smaller, more intimate weddings. This allows us to incorporate a higher percentage of locally sourced flowers, which we wholeheartedly support.
Celebrate Personalization: We're witnessing a beautiful trend towards personalized touches. Couples are incorporating flowers that hold deep significance for them, such as blooms reminiscent of their travels, childhood memories, or cherished loved ones. We also love seeing unique elements like vintage vases and personal heirlooms integrated into the designs.
These trends reflect a growing awareness and appreciation for thoughtful, eco-conscious, and personalized weddings. We're honored to be a part of this movement and to create floral designs that are both beautiful and meaningful.
What This Means for Gather and Kin Floral Design
These emerging trends perfectly align with our core values at Gather and Kin. We're passionate about:
Sustainability: We'll continue to prioritize sustainable practices, minimizing waste and educating our clients on how to maximize the life of their floral arrangements. We'll explore creative ways to repurpose flowers throughout the wedding, ensuring they're enjoyed to the fullest.
Quality over Quantity: We believe in creating stunning, impactful designs that emphasize quality over quantity. By focusing on smaller, more intimate gatherings, we can curate truly exceptional floral experiences that reflect the unique personalities and values of each couple.
Authentic Design: We'll remain dedicated to crafting authentic and personal floral designs. Whether you dream of a classic, romantic aesthetic or a modern, minimalist look, we'll work closely with you to incorporate your unique vision and create a celebration that truly reflects your love story.
Supporting Local Growers: We're committed to supporting local florists and growers whenever possible. As the demand for smaller, more intimate weddings grows, we'll have even greater opportunities to incorporate beautiful, seasonal blooms from our local community.
We're excited to embrace these evolving trends and continue creating stunning floral experiences that are both beautiful and meaningful.
