In 2025, the younger generations are reinventing weddings by breaking with tradition and introducing more authentic, sustainable elements. Here, after our research and analysis as a wedding planner in Provence for over 10 years, are the major trends that will mark this year.
Sustainable and eco-responsible weddings
More and more couples are opting for eco-friendly weddings. They choose local suppliers, menus based on seasonal produce and avoid waste. The aim is to reduce the carbon footprint while supporting local artisans. This concept also extends to decoration, with the use of reusable materials and local flowers.
Our Provence wedding planner agency has an address book full of the best suppliers in Provence. We’d be delighted to share it with you as you plan your wedding.
Multi-day wedding
Rather than cramming all the excitement into a single day, many couples opt for celebrations spread over several days. This approach allows them to enjoy their guests to the full in a more relaxed, convivial atmosphere. Extended weekends or stays in idyllic locations help strengthen ties with the inner circle.
Intimate weddings
The trend towards intimate weddings continues to grow, with a focus on a small number of guests. The aim is to create a warm, privileged atmosphere, where every moment can be shared with loved ones. This format encourages a more personal approach, both for the bride and groom and for their guests.
Outdoor weddings in nature
Nature is becoming the setting of choice for 2025. Whether in a forest, a lavender field in Provence, or near a lake, outdoor weddings bring a romantic, natural atmosphere. This return to simplicity allows the beauty of the landscape to merge with the ceremony.
Destination wedding
Destination weddings continue to attract couples, and Provence remains one of the most popular destinations. Its picturesque views, vineyards and historic villages make it the perfect setting for a celebration both intimate and grand. In 2025, holding your wedding in an iconic location has become a symbol of escape and charm.
Live bands
Live bands are in vogue, creating a more authentic and spontaneous atmosphere than recorded music. These live performances add a unique touch, whether it’s an outdoor ceremony or a dance party under the stars.
Unconventional wedding dresses
Brides of 2025 are abandoning traditional white dresses for outfits that reflect their personalities. Colorful dresses, modern cuts or vintage styles bring a new dimension to individual expression. The idea is to break codes while remaining elegant and authentic.
XXL Cakes
XXL cakes are one of the major wedding trends of 2025. More than just a dessert, they become a spectacular decorative element and a highlight of the reception. Couples are opting for multi-tiered cakes, often artistically decorated and personalized to reflect their wedding aesthetic. But they also opt for XXL fruit tarts, XXL pavlovas and more.
Total personalization
Every element of the wedding becomes highly personalized: from outfits to accessories, decorations and even the vows exchanged. Couples seek to make their celebration as unique as their love story, with tailor-made details that reflect their tastes and personalities.
Interactive guest experiences
Interactive guest experiences, such as interactive bars where everyone can create their own cocktail or dessert, food trucks, and immersive photobooths, are gaining in popularity. These animations allow guests to become actively involved in the wedding while creating memorable and fun memories.
Flowers take center stage
In 2025, flowers are becoming a central element of decoration, with bold and original compositions. Couples play with colors and textures to create eye-catching floral arrangements, incorporating unexpected varieties for a striking visual effect.
Natural photography and the use of drones
Natural photos, capturing spontaneous moments rather than frozen poses, are becoming increasingly popular. What’s more, the use of drones makes it possible to capture spectacular aerial images, adding a new perspective to the wedding album.
Weddings in 2025 are distinguished by their personal and committed approach. Whether through respect for the environment, extended celebrations or interactive experiences, today’s couples are reinventing the way they say “I do” by creating events that reflect them, while defying tradition.
