2025 Trends

2025 Wedding Trends Every Irish Couple Should Know

As 2025 kicks off, couples across Ireland are busy planning their dream weddings. Whether you’re tying the knot in a stately manor or hosting a relaxed celebration in a countryside barn, this year brings fresh trends that will make your day unforgettable. At Emma's Events, we’re always on top of the latest wedding trends to help you create memories that last a lifetime. Here are the key trends to watch for 2025:

1. Personalized Experiences

Couples are focusing on making their weddings deeply personal. From custom vows to unique guest experiences like audio guestbooks, personalization is at the heart of 2025 celebrations. Emma’s Events’ audio guestbook rental—available as audio-only or audio-and-video options—is the perfect way to capture heartfelt messages from your loved ones.

2. Eco-Friendly Celebrations

Sustainability continues to play a big role in wedding planning. Think locally-sourced flowers, plantable wedding favors, and eco-conscious decor. Couples are also opting for rental services—like Emma’s balloon displays and reusable photobooth props—to reduce waste and keep their celebrations green.

3. Bold Colors & Patterns

While pastels and neutrals have dominated in recent years, 2025 is bringing bold, statement-making color palettes to the fore. Deep blues, rich greens, and vibrant pinks paired with fun patterns will take center stage in everything from table settings to bridal party attire.

4. Interactive Guest Entertainment

Guests are looking for more than just dinner and dancing. Entertaining extras, such as a Tayto Wall or Ferrero Rocher displays from Emma’s Events, add a fun and interactive element to your reception. Garden games are also trending, and we’re excited to explore offering them soon to elevate your big day.

5. Multi-Day Weddings

Couples are extending their celebrations into multi-day events, especially in scenic locations like Munster. From welcome dinners to post-wedding brunches, these additional moments give more opportunities to spend quality time with loved ones.

6. Nostalgic Touches

Retro-inspired elements are making a comeback in 2025. Vintage decor, polaroid guestbooks, and even 90s-themed playlists are set to evoke a sense of nostalgia. Pair this trend with Emma’s vintage-style wedding post box for a timeless touch.

7. Minimalist Chic

On the flip side, some couples are embracing minimalism. Clean lines, simple decor, and understated elegance define this trend. For couples seeking a minimalist look, Emma’s photobooth is a sleek design to match your aesthetic.

8. Midweek Weddings

With venues and vendors booking up fast, midweek weddings are becoming increasingly popular. Not only are they easier to book, but they’re also often more budget-friendly—an important factor for many Irish couples.

9. Welcome Drinks

Pre-ceremony drinks are gaining popularity as a way to set the tone for the day. From coffee carts to mimosas, offering a welcome drink encourages guests to arrive on time and mingle before the bride even makes her entrance. It’s a simple yet impactful way to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

10. Local Touches

Irish couples are leaning into their heritage by incorporating local traditions, music, and foods. Think Celtic handfasting ceremonies, traditional Irish dishes, and live ceilí bands to keep the dance floor full.
