Trend alert: Décor that will dominate in 2025

As we kick off a new year of weddings, décor trends for 2025 are moving beyond aesthetics to create personal and experiential touchpoints. This year, couples are embracing interactive, multi-sensory, and meaningful moments to make their big day one-of-a-kind. Whether incorporating live entertainment into their theme or crafting celestial settings, here are our predictions on what we will see from weddings in 2025.

1. Interactive Décor

While grand floral installations and striking backdrops still are — and always will be — popular, couples in 2025 are incorporating décor that doubles as an experience. These interactive elements allow guests to engage with the setting in meaningful ways.

Floral Bars

Instead of just admiring the floral arrangements, guests can pick and customise their own petal cone to shower the happy couple with or make their own mini bouquets to take home.

Make-Your-Own Perfume or Oud

A sensory experience where guests can mix and match scents to create a personalised wedding fragrance as a keepsake.

2. Personalisation Station

We will continue to see even more personalised moments from 2025 weddings, with couples going above and beyond to make guests feel special. Couples are opting for unique and thoughtful touches that go beyond the expected, ensuring their loved ones feel appreciated and included.

Bespoke Welcome Hampers

Curated welcome gifts for each guest, featuring personalised notes, favourite treats, or small cultural keepsakes.

Customised Place Cards

Traditional name cards are out, custom notes are in. Couples are opting to include pictures and heartfelt messages reflecting their relationship with each guest on their place cards to add a sweet, nostalgic touch to the big day.

Live Art Installations

Why not add some full blown entertainment with your personalisation? Think calligraphers personalising wedding favours, on-site embroiderers customising handkerchiefs or live painting stations where artists capture the guests on canvases for keepsakes.

3. Multi-Sensory Spaces

Beyond the aesthetics, 2025 brides are taking their styling a step further to create immersive environments that engage all the senses. Couples are curating experiences that delight sight, sound and touch, breaking their décor beyond the visuals.

Themed Soundscapes

Bespoke background music, such as instrumental versions of Bollywood classics, live qawwali performances, or traditional folk music that not only complements the event but is the crux of their theme.

Tactile Ornamentation 

Think velvet seating, silk-draped tables, and dynamic textures from the florals to the finish that add depth and richness to the final feel of the décor.

4. Maximalist Pre-Wedding Corners

Go big or go home! In 2025, pre=wedding ceremonies like mehndi and haldi ceremonies are the ultimate “it girls,” blending tradition with light-hearted fun, making them the favourite events for couples and guests alike. This rise in popularity is inspiring couples to get creative—think bold palettes, dynamic patterns, and playful fabrics all coming together to craft vibrant, Insta-worthy celebration.

Rangoli-Inspired Seating

Plush floor cushions and ottomans arranged around intricate rangoli patterns made from fresh petals or coloured powders.

Statement Draping

Layers of jewel-toned fabrics like Banarasi silk or Rajasthani bandhani draped to create a luxurious, cocoon-like setting.

5. Sufi-Themed Nights

Elegant, soulful, and steeped in rich tradition, Sufi-inspired wedding evenings will continue to capture hearts this year. These serene celebrations blend spirituality with aesthetic beauty, creating an enchanting atmosphere.

Candlelit Courtyards

A dreamy ambience with Moroccan lanterns, flickering diyas, and cascading fairy lights setting the perfect mood.

Live Qawwali & Ghazal Performances

Traditional qawwali singers or a contemporary fusion bands set the ambience for the evening, performing soul-stirring classics like "Kun Faya Kun" and "Chaap Tilak."

White, Gold, & Maroon Colour Palette

Flowing white drapes, soft florals like jasmine and tuberose, and gold accents evoking a celestial, old-world charm.

6. Enchanted Evenings

Celestial motifs and whimsical fairy-tale aesthetics are redefining wedding aesthetics in 2025. Couples are transforming their venues into enchanting spaces that feel straight out of a storybook.

Starry Night Vibes

Hanging fairy lights, deep blue drapes, and starry projections that mimic a night under the cosmos.

Fairy-Tale Settings

Pastel floral arrangements, chandeliers draped with wisteria, and dreamy lighting setups to create a mystical aura.

Crystal and Mirror Accents

Reflective surfaces that amplify the beauty of the venue, making the entire setup appear magical and grand.
