Calling all 2025 brides and grooms! We have curated a list of 2025 wedding trends to help you with your 2025 wedding planning. Whether you’re a trend follower or not, this list might just give you the inspiration you’ve been looking for.
Multi-Functional Spaces
In 2025, wedding venues are expected to embrace versatility. Venues are now offering adaptable layouts that seamlessly transition from ceremony to reception, including outdoor-to-indoor setups. This rising trend allows couples to enjoy multiple settings within the same venue, saving time and money while keeping guests engaged with varied environments throughout the day!
Our Chateau Bee venues have been chosen with multi-functionality in mind and, therefore, offer a variety of spaces to provide a surprise at every stage of your wedding. From on-site chapels for your ceremony and Versailles-like reception rooms for your dinner to a disco club for dancing and, of course, a pool party on Sunday, you will have everything on site to create your fairytale wedding!
Wedding Content Creators
Content creators who specialise in wedding content are bridging the gap between traditional photographers and aunties with their old digital cameras. As much as we still love traditional wedding photos, waiting for them to be processed and organising them to capture all of your day can be stressful – not to mention the hefty price tag.
Content creators have become a modern-day solution, capturing raw behind-the-scenes and candid photos that appear more authentic. With wedding content creators’ popularity increasing by 586% over the past year, it’s very evident that these tech-savvy storytellers are a big player in 2025 wedding trends.
Miss-Matched Bridesmaids
More often, we see bridesmaids who no longer wear matching dresses, as modern trends favour the growing popularity of mismatched styles. The inclusivity of having your bridal party feel comfortable and confident is now at the forefront of 2025 brides’ minds. Miss-matched but complimenting each other is the vibe – with popular palettes such as summery pinks, oranges, reds, florals, pastels and even black gowns.
The Second Look
Having two wedding looks has been a rising trend over the past few years, and we don’t think it’s going anywhere for 2025 weddings. Short and sweet party dresses are a common choice for the evening due to their practicality, especially on the dance floor! These mini dresses still have bridal accents, such as bows and pearls. Plus, they’re sustainable—you will absolutely wear them again!

Wedding Photo Apps
What’s better than one person capturing your wedding day? Everyone capturing it! Wedding photo apps are the modern way to see your day from your guests’ perspective. Apps such as WedBox make it easy to collect everyones snaps in one place -. creating shared photo albums where you and your guests can upload and download pictures and videos of your 2025 wedding.
Eco-Conscious Venues
Sustainability is likely to be a key consideration for 2025 brides and grooms. Venues that offer things like composting, solar panels and locally sourced catering are consistently in demand. Outdoor venues surrounded by nature, including botanical gardens or rewilded landscapes, are also growing in popularity for 2025 weddings. Couples are looking for spaces that are as green as they are gorgeous and which reflect their values of leaving a minimal environmental footprint.
Many of our Chateau Bee venues have sustainability in mind so you can celebrate both your love and the planet! Explore our top sustainable wedding venues in France here.
Groom’s are Stepping up their Style
2025 wedding trends are not just about the bride, grooms are stepping up their style game with sharp, statement outfits that are versatile and perfect for living out all those James Bond fantasies. We are seeing more patterns and bold choices for men’s wedding day attire.
Trends on the rise are textured suits, colourful suits and customisations. Another growing trend is the “second look” — traditionally popular among brides — now embraced by grooms as well, offering them the chance to showcase a fresh outfit for the reception or after-party.
Live Wedding Painters
You’ve probably seen them all over your social media: live wedding painters. The versatility of wedding favours, such as small paintings of guests and larger commissioned live paintings of the bride and groom, is in demand. These give the 2025 bride and groom something more sentimental than photos and give the guests something special and unique to remember the day by.
Chateau Bee venues are perfect for incorporating this trend, providing picturesque backdrops that elevate the artistry of live wedding paintings
Immersive Experience Venues
For 2025 weddings, couples are seeking venues that offer immersive experiences both before and after the wedding day. Think vineyards with wine tastings and castles with guided tours – these venues allow couples to create a narrative or unique atmosphere for their wedding day, giving guests an unforgettable experience that goes beyond the traditional ceremony and reception.
Domaine Tarbouriech for instance offers the option to start the celebration on Friday evening with an informal gathering by the water and an oyster tasting, setting the tone for a memorable weekend. Similarly, vineyard venues like those featured on Chateau Bee Selection provide not only stunning settings for the ceremony but also unique activities such as wine tastings and tours.
At Chateau Bee, we are proud to offer a selection of wedding venues in France that embrace these 2025 wedding trends. Our venues provide the perfect backdrop for couples seeking a blend of romance, history and beauty. We hope these trends have inspired your 2025 wedding planning!
