Pastels and neutrals have reigned for years, but 2025 is welcoming a big color revival. Think electric blues, juicy reds, and rich jewel tones woven into everything from florals to table settings. This trend is perfect for couples looking to create a wedding that feels lively, fresh, and uniquely their own.

Jen and Martin’s wedding was a masterclass in the art of color! Their daring pallet featured mustard yellow, deep reds, and vibrant blues. During their reception in the Carriage Suite, the tables were elegantly adorned with indigo accent candles and brightly colored flowers, adding a touch of bold sophistication.

2025 is the year of elaborate tablescapes! Couples are leaning into textured linens, mismatched vintage dinnerware, and bespoke personal touches to create visually stunning centerpieces. The goal is to provide guests with an immersive dining experience that complements the overall wedding theme.

We absolutely love the tablescapes from Marley and Alex’s wedding! Staying true to their whimsical woodland theme, they layered foliage intertwined with baby’s breath atop organic wood rounds—and for an adorable personal touch—added hand-drawn illustrations of their pets!

Get ready for a delightful touch of nostalgia at the altar. From Art Deco-inspired details to retro cars and vintage filmstock, these timeless elements add a unique charm to any wedding. Expect to see heirloom jewelry, antique photo booths, and grand entrances featuring classic cars—all making a fashionable return in 2025!

Eibhlin and Brian embraced this trend beautifully, arriving in a vintage VW Campervan—a playful nod to the iconic style of the 1960s.

Say goodbye to intricate updos that take hours to perfect—2025 is all about minimalist bridal hairstyles. From sleek buns and low chignons to smooth ponytails or softly tousled waves, brides are embracing effortless elegance. Add a touch of personality with a single standout accessory, like a sparkling hairpin or a delicate flower, and let your natural beauty shine.

Leigh chose to pair her open-back dress with slicked-back Hollywood waves. This stylish yet practical choice kept her hair out of her face, showcasing her beautiful features while delivering a touch of timeless glamour. Best of all, her look was dance-proof and stayed flawless well into the night!

Bridal fashion is circling back to time-honored silhouettes and romantic, floor-grazing veils. There’s something undeniably elegant about a sweeping train or cathedral-length veil paired with a classic gown that stands the test of time—perfect if you want wedding photos that look just as stunning decades from now as they do today!

Both brides, Anna and Rhiannon, were radiant in their gowns: Anna in an A-line dress with lace accents and a floor-length veil, and Rhiannon in a sleek silhouette featuring long sleeves and a plunging neckline. Meanwhile, groom Christian wore a classic navy blue suit and Andrew donned a vintage-inspired brown checkered suit, each couple adding their own stylish flair to a timeless look!

From pickleball tournaments to group bike rides, pre-wedding wellness activities have become a popular way to bring guests together in a fun and stress-free setting. Favorites like tennis matches, yoga sessions, and spa days provide the perfect opportunity for everyone to relax, bond, and create lasting memories together. These activities are all about fostering a laid-back atmosphere that leaves guests feeling refreshed and connected.

At The Station House Hotel, we take wedding weekends to the next level with a wide range of activities to delight your guests. Enjoy scenic nature walks, and leisurely bike rides, and explore world-famous heritage sites just a stone’s throw away. With so much to see and do, you’re sure to keep the celebrations going before—and after—the big day!

If the way to your guests’ hearts is through their stomachs, get ready to wow them with next-level food experiences. Think interactive chef stations, oyster shuckers, a vibrant gin bar with colorful garnishes, or a build-your-own dessert bar. Presentation is key—elevating everything from canapés to the main course with artistic plating and fresh, local ingredients.

Meanwhile, as part of the push toward inclusive, health-conscious celebrations, mocktails are taking the spotlight in 2025. Couples are teaming up with mixologists to create flavorful, visually stunning non-alcoholic beverages, ensuring guests who don’t drink can still treat themselves to a fun and refreshing beverage.

We love watching couples embrace new trends in fun and unique ways, letting their personalities shine through every detail!
