The 2024 wedding season has come and gone quicker than we could have imagined! With an abundance of amazing trends, we are so excited to see what next year has to offer. Looking ahead, it is time to get into the top trends that we believe will be taking over the 2025 wedding sphere. As Philadelphia’s top live entertainment agency, we have seen everything from minimum to maximum when it comes to trends. Now, we want to share the top trends with you, and hopefully assist in making your special day a day to remember!

A blast from the past never goes out of style! Choosing the right band, or DJ can be stressful, but playing the old hits is a sure way to keep your dancefloor packed! Late 90s and early 2000s music is one of which will never go out of style. We’ve noticed it has been a core aspect of a fun-filled, dance-the night-away, wedding reception.

With BVTLive! and On It Productions working over 1,500 events each year, we know a thing or two about what our bride and grooms like to hear. With our newlyweds ranging mostly from Gen Z to Millennials, incorporating music from their youth and covering all the genres, you are sure to play a song everyone loves.

If you want to add some pizazz to your big day, wedding enhancements are the way to go! Leaving a lasting memory, these enhancements provide an unforgettable experience for you and your guests to remember this day forever just as you and your spouse will! Champagne skirts, living hedge walls, and audio guest phonebooks are only a few of the amazing ways to make your special day unique.

Integrating these immersive experiences on your wedding day provide a personal touch, Instagrammable moments, and leave a lasting impression for your guests.

With no end in sight, the double wedding dress trend is sure to continue in the 2025 wedding sphere! Only increasing in popularity, brides have been sticking to a more formal dress for the ceremony, then changing into a more comfortable and functional dress to continue the celebration once the formal dances are over.

We love this trend because of the duality of the second dress! Ensuring comfortability and danceability all while keeping the aesthetic, the second dress accommodates for the fun-filled night ahead. Checking all the boxes, the dual wedding dresses are a talking point, a memorable experience for your guests, and allows the bride to dance the night away while maintaining the elegance of the wedding day with one of our Philadelphia wedding bands from BVTLive!

Mix and match bridesmaid dresses, although not a new trend, is here to stay and we love to see it! Making everyone’s life easier, this trend creates less stress for everyone involved!

Mix and match dresses allow your bridesmaids to choose the styles that make them feel beautiful and work best for them! Increasingly, we have seen brides’ opting for a variety of colors, styles, and lengths. This approach not only eases decision-making for the bridesmaids but also allows the bride to focus on other aspects of her special day.

One of the newer trends to appear is the wedding newspaper! These, 100% customizable newspapers, allow you and your spouse to include any information, pictures, dates, etc. you both would like to share with your guests.

Creating a newspaper is a beautiful and unique way to highlight you and your spouse’s journey throughout the years. Providing versatility, you can create them for save the dates, wedding programs, thank you cards, and more.

One of the biggest trends we have seen with is including flowers and the newspaper for bridesmaids’ proposals. The “Newly Wed Post,” no matter how you use it, is a sure way to leave a lasting memory of your big day!

Shying away from the minimalistic flower trends, bright, bold, and fun florals are making a comeback. Creating a more energetic theme, bold floral arrangements and bouquets can instantly take a simple aesthetic wedding up a notch.

Whether the florals are bouquets, centerpieces, or overall decor, you can never go wrong with a plethora of different flower options. This also allows the florist to have a little fun and play around with different arrangement styles, to find what best suits you and your day!

A very recent trend that is gaining a ton of traction is maximalist décor and minimalist cake. We have noticed people increasingly paying more attention to the decorations of the wedding rather than an over-extravagant cake.

This trend focus’ on the overall look of the wedding rather than the smaller aspects of the day. The décor tends to be the centerpiece of the wedding while the cake is more a simple and intimate moment for the newlyweds to experience together. We have attributed this trend to a change in tradition from our brides and grooms. Nowadays, couples focus their wedding on their specific desires rather than adhering to traditional practices.

Ice sculptures are a simple, yet tasteful way to add a little something extra to your big day! Completely customizable to you, ice sculptures allow you and your spouse to highlight something important to the both of you in a unique way!

A few ideas for ice sculptures include: your pet, your favorite sports team, monograms of you and your partner’s initials, your wedding date, etc. The opportunities are endless when you can create your very own ice display!

We have seen trolleys, party busses, and shuttles, but have you ever thought to use Uber vouchers/promo codes for your guests instead? Established only a few years ago, Uber has a new way to make your transportation easy for everyone!

It is as easy as one two, three! You set a credit distribution amount, send the promo code, and your guests have trustworthy transportation. This can allow for you to save some money and ensure your guests can enjoy themselves without worrying about who will be driving on the way to the after-party!

As another incredible wedding season begins to close, it’s time to kick off the 2025 wedding planning! With the new 2025 top wedding trends emerging and couples eager to walk down the aisle, we’re thrilled to be a trusted Philadelphia wedding company and live entertainment provider.
