The happiest day of your life can also be on-trend 

Your wedding day is the perfect opportunity to declare your undying love for each other. It’s also an occasion on which you can unleash your creativity and express who you are as individuals and as a couple. Whether you work with a wedding designer or style your wedding yourselves, you’ll find it easier to stay on wedding trends (and on budget) with Bob Shop. 

Get married your way 

After the necessary move towards smaller weddings during lockdown, there’s been a realisation that there’s no one right way to get married. Big or small, it’s all good. Whether you want a traditional wedding, a white wedding or a wedding based on wedding trends, what matters is that it’s your day, and it’s all about you.

Debt-free weddings are in 

It’s been said that apart from when you buy a house, your wedding will be the most expensive single day of your life. However, there’s also a move towards more affordable weddings that don’t eat up all your savings just as you’re starting out on your life together. You’ll probably also want to be mindful of the cost of attending for your guests, in terms of travel, gifts and outfits. 

Of course, there are ways to reduce the cost of your wedding, without ignoring the fact that true love is priceless. Especially if you already have most of the stuff you need in life, you can reduce the gift list to take the pressure off your guests. Similarly, you can relax the dress code.

One of the biggest items on any wedding shopping list is the perfect dress… but buying a preloved wedding dress from Bob Shop lets you get the look you love for less.

One more reason you’ll love a more frugal wedding – they’re also more eco-friendly, so you can show your love for the planet as well as for each other.

DIY weddings

Linked to the frugal wedding trends – and a great way to make the celebration even more personal – is to make items like invitations, place cards and even décor yourself. You can find all the crafting supplies you need on Bob Shop, and check out Pinterest boards and Instagram for inspiration. We can promise you that your guests will appreciate the extra effort you make.

Vintage/retro wedding trends

Weddings are all about love that lasts forever, so it’s no wonder that retro and vintage themes are predicted to be a big thing for weddings in 2025. It’s a way to honour your heritage and culture, celebrate the families and friends who made you who you are, and look ahead to the next generation… after all, they may be coming along sooner than you expect. 

Focused floral displays 

It’s no longer necessary to replicate a florists’ shop in your wedding venue. Instead, a few focused, impactful displays of your favourite blooms can be much more eye-catching and make a more powerful statement. There are many conventions around how a wedding ‘should’ look, but we’re expecting that 2025 will be the year when happy couples really go their own way. 

Wedding weekends worth travelling for 

This might feel like the opposite of a more frugal wedding, but by turning your celebration into an all-weekend affair, you’ll get to spend more time with each guest, and they get to enjoy a mini-break as well as the ceremony itself. Of course, the attention will always be focused on you and your partner, elevating the experience for your guests is going to be huge in 2025. Look for ways to keep them surprised, delighted and entertained, and you’ll have a wedding that’s not just on-trend, but that gets talked about for years afterwards.
