Starting to plan your dream wedding? Some couples have a clear idea of their perfect wedding and what the day or days will look like, while others are overwhelmed by the myriad of options – location, food, décor and so much more.
With so many choices to consider, we have tried to make the process a little easier by pulling together the latest wedding trends to help you with ideas and plans. Settle in with your sweetheart, have a read through this list, and start envisioning what your celebration of love will look like.
So, here are the top ten new wedding trends for 2024 and 2025 as predicted by some of the top wedding media.
In 2024/2025, couples are increasingly embracing zero-waste weddings, aiming for eco-friendly celebrations that minimise their environmental impact.
“The reality is that it’s quite challenging for an engaged bride and groom to plan their nuptials, let alone take into account every aspect of the event’s waste and energy footprint. One resort in Indonesia, however, aims to make it easier by doing the heavy lifting. Couples simply show up and enjoy.” Forbes
“Consider getting married one day and giving the party the next. By separating the sacred aspects from the profane ones, you kill two birds with one stone. You open up unlimited possibilities for the party - themes, decorations, dress codes, run of show, menu - and, because even the most laid-back couples can feel anxiety on their wedding day, you’re freeing yourself up to go all in on partying on Day Two.” Vogue
Weddings at Bawah are always more than a one-day affair. With your guests staying for the entire time, you can enjoy long beach picnics and dinners with them on exquisite private beaches. Let the party go on and on!
“2024 will bring events that are less over-the-top spectacles and more intimate, friendly, and accessible, where the feeling is warmth and communality, and not how big the floral arrangements are." Martha Stewart
Destination weddings actually do you a favour by keeping things more low-key. Smaller gatherings in naturally beautiful settings foster intimacy and warmth among your chosen few.
“You're right, drones aren't new, but they are one of our favorite trends that grows in popularity every year. For starters, having options when it comes to the visuals of your day is #goals. But what we love most about drone photography is the angles, especially if you're saying I do outdoors. Many photographers and videographers offer aerial photography as part of their packages, recognizing the magic of seeing your first kiss (and all the people you love) from above.” The Knot
Weddings on Bawah and drones go hand in hand. There is no better way to capture the beauty of both the wedding and the island… just take a look at these shots:
“These non-traditional venues offer a blank canvas for creativity and allow you to transform the space into a reflection of your personal style. During the pandemic, outdoor weddings became a thing because they needed to be, and brides were forced to look for alternative options. However, couples seem to be sticking to the at-one-with-nature concept and are actively looking for alternative wedding venues and we're seeing a lot of interest around vineyard wedding venues and wine-themed weddings.” Rock my wedding
There’s nothing more fabulous than a private island in the middle of nowhere for your wedding venue. Connect with nature on a beautiful island, enjoy a beach ceremony, dine with your toes in the sand, and dance under the stars on the beach.
“Make your wedding tables fun – they don’t need to be prescriptive or restricted to simple florals in vases. Think outside the box with moss and other seasonal inspirational vegetation and florals that make a statement.” Country and Townhouse
Our wedding team at Bawah loves getting creative with coconuts, homegrown fruit, flowers and island vegetation. Imagine palm tree arches, leaf name cards, and sand-and-shell-filled vases - perfect touches for your tropical island destination wedding
In 2024/2025, wedding trends are shifting towards personalised experiences and natural elegance. Couples are opting for split ceremonies and receptions, intimate gatherings, and unique venues. Drone photography adds to the wow factor, while natural table settings embrace the beauty of the outdoors. These trends allow you to create a memorable celebration that reflects your individual style and your unique love story.
At Bawah Reserve, you can elevate your experience with tailored wedding packages, ensuring every detail is meticulously curated for an unforgettable island wedding experience.
