Wedding fashion is continuously changing, and 2025 promises new and interesting trends for brides, grooms, and guests in the UK. From vivid colors to sustainable designs, this year’s trends are all about personalization, elegance, and breaking with tradition. If you’re planning a wedding or simply enjoy staying on top of the latest fashion trends, here’s what’s hot in 2025.
1. Bold & Non-Traditional Wedding Dresses
Gone are the days when white was the sole choice. Brides in 2025 are embracing bold colors such as deep reds, emerald greens, and even metallics (silver and gold). Designers are also experimenting with two-toned dresses, which combine classic ivory with vibrant black or pastel colors for a modern twist.
- Colored wedding gowns** (blush pink, champagne, blue).
- Sheer overlays and illusion details** provide a romantic yet daring vibe.
- Asymmetrical hemlines**—high-low skirts and dramatic trains
2. Sustainable & Vintage-Inspired Outfits
Eco-conscious weddings are more popular than ever, with couples opting for upcycled, rented, or traditional wedding clothing. Many brides opt for secondhand dresses or ecological textiles such as organic silk, bamboo, and hemp.
- Vintage lace and vintage silhouettes (consider 90s bohemian or minimalist design).
- Rental wedding dresses – affordable and eco-friendly
- Handmade and locally sourced materials
3. Statement Sleeves & Dramatic Details
2025 is all about bold silhouettes, particularly in terms of sleeves. Puffed, bishop, and bell sleeves are making a big resurgence, lending a fairytale feel to modern bridal outfits.
- Oversized bows and 3D floral appliqués.
- Detachable sleeves and capes for versatility.
- Corset-style bodices with intricately laced-up backs
4. Groom Fashion: Beyond the Classic Suit
Grooms are elevating their fashion game with tailored separates, textured fabrics, and unusual colours. Trending tuxedo colors include burgundy, sage green, and even deep blue.
- Velvet and jacquard suits** provide a sumptuous feel.
- Mix-and-match separates** (for example, printed waistcoats and neutral pants).
- Statement accessories**: bright ties, pocket watches, and brooches.
5. Bridal Jumpsuits & Two-Piece Sets
Bridal jumpsuits and separates are a stylish alternative to gowns for the unconventional bride. Slim, fitted jumpsuits in ivory or silver are ideal for a modern, minimalist wedding.
- Wide-leg jumpsuits with beautiful embroidery.
- Crop top and skirt combinations** for a playful but classy style.
- Sparkly embellishments** for extra flair.
6. Ethereal & Fairycore Themes
Fairycore weddings, which are inspired by nature and fantasy, will dominate in 2025. Consider floral crowns, elegant wings, and flowing chiffon dresses in gentle hues.
- Using delicate floral headpieces** instead of traditional veils
- Feather and pearl embellishments**
- Muted tones**, such as lavender, peach, and mint green
7. Gender-Fluid & Inclusive Wedding Fashion
More couples are wearing gender-neutral wedding attire with designs that blur traditional distinctions. Flowing capes, tailored skirts for grooms, and unisex outfits are becoming trendy.
- Custom-made clothing that express personal style.
- Neutral colors with flashes of color
- Non-binary bridal and groom attire
