Weddings in 2025? They’re not just ceremonies—they’re a party full of personality.
This year is all about storytelling. From the layout to the lighting, every choice is an opportunity to say something about who you are as a couple. And nowhere is that truer than right here in Queensland, where we’ve got the spaces (hello, sunshine), the suppliers, and the style to create something quite interesting.
So here’s what we see trending in the wedding world – styling with personality, purpose, and a little bit of fun.
What’s In for 2025 Wedding Styling? Our Top 5 Top Picks.
- Outdoor Weddings
We’re blessed with some pretty spectacular scenery, so why not lean into it? Garden parties, coastal vows, hinterland hideaways—we’re seeing couples take their ceremonies and receptions into the open air, letting nature do the heavy lifting (and the backdrop). - Let Your Furniture Do the Talking
Gone are the days of white plastic chairs and cookie-cutter hire. Your furniture should reflect your vibe. Think timber tables with character, velvet lounge settings for cocktail hour, or a bold pop of colour on the bar. Furniture adds warmth, texture, and personality—don’t be afraid to let yours say something. - Drapery & Bows
Soft, sweeping fabrics are back but they are bigger—from dramatic ceiling installations to fabric laced through tree branches – massive chair bows to understated ribbon tied to a candle stick. Bows are showing up everywhere (more on that in a minute). - Serpentine Tables
Wavy, winding tables that create intimacy and a sense of flow are replacing the traditional straight rows. They’re a dream to style with soft linen runners, clustered florals, and candlelight that dances along the curves. - Sustainability & Storytelling
People want to know: where did this come from, how long will it last, and what happens to it afterwards…can I eat it? (Spoiler: our entire business was built on these questions—we’re pros at making beautiful things responsibly.)
The (Delicious) Star of the Show: Creative Food Styling
The centrepiece isn’t always floral—it can be edible.
We’re talking about using food as decor in ways that are beautiful, thoughtful, and just a little bit unexpected.
It’s warm, sensory, and full of charm. Food styling is such a simple way to bring personality to the table (literally) while also staying aligned with sustainable practices—because yes, you can style with food and eat it too.
It’s elegant. It’s different. And it’s a styling moment guests will enjoy.
Not Into Pears? Bring on the Bow.
If fruit centrepieces aren’t quite your thing, may we gently guide you back to the bow?
Bows are the ultimate styling chameleon: they can be grand or subtle, romantic or playful. We love using them on ceremony chairs, glassware, arbours, even bar carts. Velvet, linen, silk—there’s a bow for every theme and texture.
Not sure whether Auntie Alice should be tying them? We get it. Bows look best when they’re done with intention, and we’ve got plenty of tips, tricks, and professional hands-on-help on our socials.
If You’re Brave, Do It All
If you’re feeling bold, why not do it all—bows, thoughtfully styled fruit, a sculptural serpentine table, and furniture pieces that shout this is so us. Our current Pinterest obsession? @wed_vibes’ stunning tablescape—this is absolutely the kind of magic we want to see more of. It’s proof that when you mix personality with clever design, the result is incredible.
