The 2025 wedding season is about to be in full swing, and if you attend a wedding in Louisiana this year, you may notice that a few things are missing from the ceremony and reception.

Every year, wedding trends change, and some things disappear while others remain the same. For example, the decor at weddings in 2025 does not resemble that of weddings in 2010. Times and things change.

I recently came across an article in Vogue that highlighted what will be 'in" and what will be "out" when it comes to wedding trends in 2025.

For example, couples are now electing to conduct their vows in private, which allows for a more intimate setting. So, if you attend a wedding in 2025, you may not witness the couple exchange their vows before their guests, and it is by design.

Something else that couples are eliminating from their wedding day is photo booths. Now, more couples are investing in film to document their guests at their reception. In addition to that, you may notice that the decor at weddings and receptions is much more simple, no longer will you see elaborate decor at some events.

Another trend that is being phased out of receptions, according to Vogue, is the strict timelines, and I have personally experienced this while DJing at receptions. While some brides like to stick to a strict timeline, more are going with the more relaxed flow of things, and they say it helps eliminate stress on her "Big Day."

As for what is in at weddings in 2025, the old-fashioned wedding cake is back, and bakers locally have already noticed this new trend. Plus, couples are now going with premixed cocktails so that way guests aren't standing in line all night for a drink.

Hey, speaking of getting drinks, venues with multi-sided bars will have an advantage as brides are electing to host their receptions in venues that can better serve their guests, according to Vogue.

Another wedding trend you may notice in 2025 is that couples are now electing to say "I Do" in their hometown. Expensive destination weddings are being phased out.

All of these changes relate to trends, but they also relate to cost-cutting. It's expensive to host a wedding, and we see couples having to decide what they want and what they do not need on their wedding day.

So, the next time you're at a wedding in 2025, see if you notice anything new or different about the ceremony and reception.
