Wedding Themes to Consider for Your 2025 Event

Couples often choose to plan their weddings around a specific color palette. It makes every detail easier to choose, but you don’t have to create your big day according to your favorite colors. Get inspired by these fun wedding themes. They’re perfect for anyone who wants their 2025 event to dazzle their guests while matching their own personality.

1. Greek Mythology

A mythological aesthetic can make your wedding feel both classic and magical. With this theme, you can opt for subtle inspiration by incorporating gold accents, leafy florals and vintage pottery. Use ivory statues and pillar candles to make your venue feel like an art museum.

You can also choose a simple gown and wear a crown inspired by togas worn by goddesses in paintings and statues. Look to your favorite mythological artwork to get inspiration for your fashion, decor and floral choices.

2. Modern Boho

Boho weddings were all the rage in the 2010s, but they’ve taken on an updated look in the 2020s. Some elements of boho remain the same, like lace gowns, lots of florals and earthy color schemes. Boho grooms might wear brown or green suits instead of black, and brides often choose creamy lace gowns with billowy sleeves.

In modern boho weddings, couples often choose colors like terracotta, sage green and brown. Decorate with a floral archway, vintage pottery or vases for centerpieces, and patterned rugs to walk down the aisle.

3. Regency Era

The “Bridgerton” television series has made the Regency era a popular wedding theme in the past few years. If you want to feel like royalty on your wedding day, this theme is perfect for you.

First, find a wedding dress with a regency style silhouette, such as an empire waist and cap sleeves. You can pair it with statement jewelry or a tiara and a long, simple veil. Decorate with gold or silver accents, china dishes and candles for a pre-electricity feel.

Regency-era fiction is always about love, so go all out with romantic touches. For example, an altar covered in lavender roses would represent your love-at-first-sight story, whereas pink roses would nod to your gratitude for your partner. Include sentimental elements that tell the story of your romance, much like your favorite period piece film.

4. Celestial Fantasy

Do you feel like your love story was written in the stars? Communicate that to your guests with a celestial theme. Stars and moon decor create an otherworldly aesthetic.

Decorate your venue with twinkle lights and subtle hints of sparkle, such as tablecloths with silver threads. You can also find invitations with star designs and incorporate quotes like “love you to the moon” into your decor. At the end of the night, share a dance outside under the stars for a stunning photo-op.

5. Art Deco

For an art deco wedding, think The Great Gatsby. Geometric patterns, gold and black accents and vintage glassware are staples for an art deco bash.

You can ask guests to wear black and gold and consider choosing 1920s-style clothing, without looking too costumey. For entertainment, you could hire a jazz band for your cocktail hour, have a dance instructor teach era-appropriate dances, and of course, feature a champagne tower.

6. Dark Gothic

If you’re not into traditional weddings, flip everything on its head by planning a gothic ceremony. While a gothic theme works great for weddings around Halloween, you can plan a dark aesthetic any time of year.

Whether you want a traditional white gown or choose a dark color, you can achieve a gothic look with lace, a high neck and long sleeves. For grooms, a velvet suit in any dark color will make a bold statement.

Choose dark colors for your decor. If you don’t want to go all black, deep shades of blue, purple, red and green can all work for a gothic theme. Consider table decor with velvet or lace linens, black dishes, goblet-style glasses and vintage vases. Thrifted books can also pair well with a dark gothic centerpiece arrangement.
