As 2024 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment at Beyond Bar Hire to reflect on the amazing year that’s just passed. Having supported many weddings with what we believe to be the best cocktail bar hire Essex can provide, we’re now feeling pretty excited about what’s in store with our 8 predicted 2025 wedding trends!
From immersive entertainment to outdoor venues and personalised menus, 2025 is set to be a year of unforgettable and unique weddings, and we’re pleased to play our part in these celebrations with our fantastic mobile bars for hire.
1. Outdoor wedding ceremonies
For the first of our predicted 2025 wedding trends, we believe there will be more outdoor ceremonies. Ever since COVID, they have become increasingly popular, and are sure to continue well into next year, with couples embracing the beauty of nature and the outdoors. Whether the wedding party is based in a marquee that faces onto a lake or takes place in the middle of a botanical garden, outdoor weddings will come in many forms.
2. Micro weddings
Micro weddings are becoming more popular as people are moving towards smaller celebrations that are more intimate and have an exclusive feeling. Not only can couples be more selective with who they share the day, but micro weddings also cut costs, with couples opting for smaller and more unique venues.
3. Immersive, experiential entertainment
In 2025 we expect to see more couples looking to create immersive experiences for their guests which are interactive. We predict a surge in unique performers such as aerialists and live painters aswell as interactive stations such as dry hire bars and pick ‘n’ mix stations.
4. Vibrant colour palettes
While pastels and neutral colours, like lavenders and sage greens, will continue to be popular in the coming year, colours will also be used to make a statement. From jewel tones like rich emerald green to deep sapphires and ruby reds, or even sunset hues. We expect some weddings will use an abundance of creative colours, where couples want to leave a lasting impression.
5. Alternative decorations and dresses
One thing that we’ve noticed with 2025 wedding trends is that couples are embracing their style more and saying goodbye to things like traditional flower arrangements. Instead of the usual flowers couples have been opting for greenery like ferns and eucalyptus.
We’ve seen a surge of hanging installations too, that create stunning focal points for guests to admire, and build on the theme of the day.
6. Different options for wedding dresses
Alternative thinking has been applied to wedding dresses, which we believe are going to be bolder this year, more colourful and non-traditional. We’ve noticed an ongoing pattern of pantsuits and mix-and-match separates on the rise too.
7. Personalised menus
Over the last year, there’s been much more personalisation going into weddings, which makes them feel more individual and meaningful. Couples are now opting for menus that reflect their own tastes or culture and special love stories. Cocktail packages that include signature cocktails have become a firm favourite and we’re even seeing a growing trend of couples choosing shots instead of traditional champagne toasts.
8. Mobile bars
For the last of our 2025 wedding trends, we expect mobile bars to increase in popularity. Mobile bars have become a wedding essential, combining versatility with style. They can be placed almost anywhere meaning there are hardly any limitations when it comes to the choice of venue for couples, which ties in perfectly with our 2025 wedding trends, such as outdoor and micro weddings. They also come in a range of designs, so whether it’s rustic or modern, it’s easy to have your mobile bar match your wedding theme.
