2025 Wedding Trends the MK Team is Loving

Every year, new wedding trends emerge that make celebrations more personal, stylish, and unforgettable—and 2025 is no exception. At MK Your Dream Day, we’re always keeping an eye on what’s fresh, fun, and meaningful for our couples. This year, we’re loving trends that bring extra personality, creativity, and heartfelt moments to weddings. Here are top five trends we are loving!

1. Weekday & Off-Season Weddings

More couples are saying “I do” on weekdays or during off-peak seasons to maximize their budget while still getting their dream wedding. Not only does this open up more venue availability, but it also allows couples to invest in meaningful details—like live entertainment or a custom menu—without stretching their budget.

Watch MK go into more detail on how you can save money with weekday & off-season weddings in an interview with 21WFMJ here.

2. Personalized Notes for Guests

The smallest details can leave the biggest impact, and personalized notes to your guests are a perfect example. A short, heartfelt message makes each guest feel truly valued and connected to your day. While handwritten notes add a sentimental touch, typed messages offer the same impact with far less time commitment—perfect for couples who want to share their gratitude in a meaningful but manageable way. No matter the format, a personal note is a small detail that leaves a big impression.

3. Unconventional Venues and Restaurant Weddings

Gone are the days when weddings were only held in ballrooms and banquet halls. In 2025, couples are opting for unconventional venues that reflect their personality—think trendy restaurants, boutique hotels, botanical gardens, or even cozy backyard settings. Restaurant weddings, in particular, offer a warm, intimate atmosphere paired with incredible cuisine, making them a favorite for food-loving couples.

4. 35mm Film Photography

The charm of film photography is making a huge comeback. There’s something magical about the soft grain and dreamy, nostalgic feel of film, and couples love the authenticity it brings to their wedding albums. Whether it’s a mix of digital and film or an all-film approach, this trend is perfect for those who want timeless, unfiltered wedding photos.

5. Content Creators for the Big Day

With social media playing a bigger role than ever, couples are hiring content creators to capture behind-the-scenes moments in real time. These professionals focus on candid, in-the-moment clips that can be shared instantly, ensuring you have all the Instagram-worthy memories before your photographer delivers the full gallery.
