If you’re currently planning your special day for this year, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the weddings we see all over social media. I’m here to tell you the top trends which will make your day even more special.

Trends are a great way to see the styles and added extras that are most loved in wedding world at this moment in time. I absolutely love seeing new trends form, whether they’re going viral on TikTok or here in person at the venue it’s always fun to see what couples are loving as they plan their wedding day. Here’s my top 5 Trends that you won’t want to miss…

A Quick Change

It’s your wedding day…Why not have 2 outfits?! As a bride to be it’s often a little tricky to choose the perfect dress. Firstly, the amount of choice. Secondly, there’s a big list of things we need the dress to be. Elegant, timeless, fabulous … oh and you need to be able to dance all night long in our amazing Dance Barn. Here’s where this trend steps in. A quick trip to the farmhouse to change into something more comfortable is becoming very popular with our lovely Brides. Retailers such as ASOS, Coast & Nadine Merabi are great for a second dress that will purse string friendly.

Content Creators

According to Hitched, there’s been a 586% increase in search volume for content creators. Although this is a relatively new concept, it’s definitely something couples are putting on the top of their must-haves list. If you are a couple who are drawn to relaxed, candid style wedding clips this is definitely a trend for you to check out.

Bright Flowers

Now, we all know and love the neutral floral palettes. However, we’re seeing more and more couples opt for something with a little more colour. This trend is here to stay in my opinion, and you can really see why. It’s a fantastic way to add touch of fun and feel good. Especially for those beautiful summer weddings. Our stunning Grainstore is the perfect canvas for you to paint your wedding day dreams. Bring on all the colour!

Live Music

Whether it’s a band, DJ, saxophonist or solo singer live music is always a great way to get everybody dancing and enjoying the beautiful atmosphere! (We have some fantastic options on our preferred supplier list if you’re looking for talented performers)⁠. Something that’s become a real favourite of our couples is the bride being sang down the aisle, there’s never a dry eye in the house.

 

Vintage Cakes

I’m sure you instantly visualised exactly what I’m talking about. If you don’t, all you need to do is open social media and type wedding cake. It’s a trend that’s absolutely taken over! I’m sure cake makers across Essex are getting multiple messages a day for these show stoppers. Exquisitely piped, timeless, and perfect for the Insta-worthy cake cutting shot!

As the wedding season begins, I’m super excited to see the stunning trends and choices our couples make for their big day in 2025. Be sure to visit our Instagram for inspiration and helpful tips. You never know, you might just become a trend setter yourself!
