2025 Wedding Trends: What We’re Seeing & Loving
In 2025, couples will be embracing a wedding style inspired by the timeless beauty of old-world charm. This trend merges the elegance of vintage European aesthetics with the casual, joyful ambiance of a garden party. It’s all about creating a dreamy, sophisticated atmosphere with subtle touches of fairytale romance and understated decadence.
The old-world style thrives in spaces that feature weathered stonework, vintage elements, and lush natural surroundings.
Imagine floral arrangements that look freshly picked from an 18th-century English garden, with cascading blooms and textured greenery. The color palette centers around soft pinks, lavender blush, and gentle peach tones, accented by an array of rich, natural greens.
Understanding that visuals speak louder than words, The Gardens partnered with top wedding professionals to showcase this enchanting style through photos. From lush floral installations to intricately detailed tablescapes, couples can see how old-world charm comes to life in every detail.
