12 Fresh Trends for an Unforgettable Celebration
1. Sustainable Luxury
Sustainability is becoming a bigger concern to couples, leading to the decline of trends like plastic or acrylic menus, single-use items in stationery, and other environmentally unfriendly decor choices. Couples are opting for eco-friendly, repurposable, or biodegradable materials.
“Through renting decor and repurposing florals couples are simplifying their wedding day experience and minimizing the waste of their event,” said Hello Wildflower, one of the preferred wedding vendors of Legacy Hill Farm.
Legacy Hill Farm is an eco-friendly wedding and event venue. We are proud to be a certified carbon-offset venue through One Tree Planted. We believe all the efforts we make together to take care of our earth and environment matter. We love helping couples make an impact and assisting them in hosting an eco-friendly wedding or event.

2. Moving Guests Through Different Spaces
Couples and their guests are looking for more out of their wedding experience in 2025. Rather than having just one room for their celebration, couples in 2025 are opting for a dynamic guest experience where people can move through different venue spaces as their event unfolds.
At Legacy Hill Farm our venue layout is idyllic for this 2025 wedding trend! Our wedding venue was thoughtfully created with guest flow in mind and was designed so that each of our 9 venue spaces unfold as the event progresses. Each venue space flows seamlessly into the next so that your guests can discover a new exciting setting as the celebration progresses.
Couples that tour Legacy Hill Farm are always amazed at how close our venue spaces are to each other. Plus, with paved paths, easy drop off and pick up zones, and accessible designs throughout our spaces guest are able to flexibly flow between outdoor and indoor spaces with ease.
3. Warm Color Palettes
Vibrant whimsical color palettes will continue to grow in 2025 wedding trends. Unexpected color combinations are taking over weddings as couples create an aesthetic that is all their own.
Oversized arrangements, statement florals, and unique installations that enhance the wedding venue’s allure will thrive. Bold color palettes are filling wedding inspiration boards for 2025 and we’re here for it.
4. Aesthetic Dress Codes
Guests are now part of the wedding decor and are an enhancement to wedding day photography through their attire for the day. Get ready to see more dress codes on wedding invitations in 2025.
Wedding party attire in 2025 will become even more of a mix and match aesthetic. The hot mix and match bridesmaid dress trend will grow in 2025 as patterns and more diversity appear in palettes. This mix and match trend gives comfort and confidence to wedding parties and creates stunning photos.
5. Branded Weddings
Branded weddings take personalization to a new level. They involve creating a cohesive aesthetic or theme that extends from the smallest detail - like napkins or matchbooks - to the grandest, such as venue decor or even the couple’s attire.
Modern couples are not only creating a very clear aesthetic for their wedding day, but also for all of the various events of their wedding week. A beautifully branded wedding creates a statement and sets the tone for a wedding celebration.
Branded wedding events are memorable and tell the love story of the couple in a unique way. Through incorporating subtle touches and bold statements, couples are branding their wedding experience in a way that is truly unforgettable.
6. Tailored Welcome & Immersive Events
Overall weddings are becoming a more interactive experience. Through creating welcome parties and other immersive events throughout their wedding week couples are providing their guests with ways to be more involved in their celebration.
In 2025 expect more multi-day wedding experiences as couples find more ways and more time to spend with their wedding guests.
Two-day wedding celebrations thrive at Legacy Hill Farm on Fridays. When you book a Friday wedding at Legacy Hill Farm you can affordably add on the Thursday to extend your celebration. This additional time can be used to run a wedding rehearsal, host a rehearsal dinner, unpack and decorate early, or even enjoy a private relaxed evening with your closest family and friends.
7. Repositioning Wedding Parties
One of the leading 2025 wedding trends we’re seeing is that couples are reimagining wedding parties and repositioning their role in their wedding day. The traditional concept of wedding parties is undergoing a significant transformation. Couples are rethinking the roles, sizes, and even the existence of wedding parties, opting for arrangements that better reflect their personal values, relationships, and the essence of their celebration.
From breaking gender norms, to having no parties at all, to unique wedding processionals, to seated wedding parties, to role flexibility with custom titles, and more - couples are breaking away from what has been done for generations and crafting a celebration that truly reflects the couple’s vision of love, friendship, and community.
8. Smaller Guest Lists
Intimate, personalized celebrations are one of the emerging wedding trends for 2025. At Legacy Hill Farm we are seeing this trend sprinkled into the rhythm of our upcoming wedding season.
At Legacy Hill Farm our venue holds up to 295 guests comfortably while also holding guest counts as intimate as 50 well. Our dynamic spaces flex and flow to provide the perfect setting for your guest count regardless of where you fall in that range. As we look ahead to 2025 and 2026 we are seeing a wide range of guest counts on the horizon.
Intimate weddings at Legacy Hill Farm enjoy a guest count discount when couples invite 125 guests or less to their wedding.
9. Great Collaboration Between Vendors
Busy modern couples are looking for simplicity and ease. Through using wedding vendors that know and love their wedding venue couples are able to streamline their planning and eliminate wedding planning hassles.
Legacy Hill Farm’s preferred vendors know our venue well and partner with us to take care of our couples well. For example, Hello Wildflower provides discounted delivery to our venue and provides valuable insight to Legacy Hill Farm couples through their free consultations.
Couples are capitalizing on the benefit of teamwork among their wedding vendors and building vendor dream teams to make their event as seamless and easy to enjoy as possible.
10. Natural Venue Settings
Elegant outdoor weddings are continuing to grow in popularity in wedding trends for 2025. Countryside weddings provide a gorgeous backdrop for weddings. Plus, they help couples to spend less on decor and florals through the natural beauty that already exists at the venue when compared to a venue that is a blank slate.
Minimalistic naturally elegant weddings thrive at Legacy Hill Farm. Our beautiful rolling hills, gardens, trees, fountains, and variety of venue spaces provide an effortless backdrop for couples and their guests to enjoy.
11. Private Experiences
2025 wedding trends prioritize privacy and exclusivity. Couples deeply desire a private event experience for their celebration where parking is simple and only invited guests are allowed throughout their entire venue.
At Legacy Hill Farm couples love the exclusivity and simplicity of their wedding experience. Wedding days at Legacy Hill Farm offer seclusion away from the public eye and provide a space where it is easy to unplug, relax, and focus in on creating memories.
12. Interactive Experiences
Live painting and mariachi bands were some of our very favorite things that couples incorporated into their weddings last year. Curious how to include interactive experiences in your wedding at Legacy Hill Farm? Just ask! We would love to partner with you to create a memorable experience for your guests.
Interactive experiences are also finding their way into wedding dining. From popcorn bars to charcuterie tables to signature cocktails to an array of desserts, couples are bringing their guests on an interactive dining experience through the food and beverages that they serve at their wedding at Legacy Hill Farm!
Wedding Trends Stepping Aside in 2025
1. Overly Formal Traditions
Modern couples are not interested in meaningless traditions. Wedding traditions in 2025 will only make an appearance if they actually have personal meaning to the couples getting married.
Guest books are no longer required at weddings and many couples are opting out of them all together. A wedding party grand march or even the couple being announced into dinner are now on the chopping block. Personal flowers, like corsages and boutonnieres, are being skipped. Even bridesmaid bouquets have become optional! Get ready to see couples continue to push the limits and cut out more “must do” wedding traditions in the years ahead.
2. No Weather Back Up Plan
Too many weddings look cute only if the weather is perfect. Back up weather plans are essential to modern couples.
At Legacy Hill Farm we provide both an indoor and outdoor ceremony location for our couples to pick between. Our couples love that, regardless of the weather, their celebration will be stunning and unforgettable for all the right reasons.
3. Single-Use and Wasteful Practices
Trends that contribute to waste, like unnecessary decor, single-use favors, and extra signage are being reduced and eliminated. Couples are discovering that less is more when it comes to weddings and that sustainability is beautiful.
The average wedding in the United States is estimated to produce around 400 pounds of garbage. This includes everything from food waste to disposable decorations, packaging materials, and single-use items like plates, cups, and utensils.
At Legacy Hill Farm our commitment to sustainability creates a natural environment around our couples and their guests to help naturally reduce wedding waste and energy consumption.
Cheers to 2025 Wedding Trends
We can’t wait to see how weddings will continue to evolve in 2025!
This wedding season will honor individuality, sustainability, and the quality of experience over quantity, setting the stage for celebrations that are memorable for all the right reasons.
With You, For You.
