Wedding trends 2025: From mocha, 90s dresses, ring stacking and more.

From style to setup: These are the most important wedding trends for 2025.

It's well known that Generation Z members are reluctant to be told what life, love, or career should look like. They think fluidly, renegotiate relationships , and tend to approach conventional role models with irony, skepticism, or even vehement opposition. It's all the more exciting that marriage, of all things, is making a surprising comeback these days—controlled, aesthetically sophisticated, and utterly idiosyncratic.

According to Pinterest's new annual wedding trend report, based on data from over 570 million users, getting married is once again coming into focus. But without the usual drama. It's moving away from pompous pomp and circumstance toward a cool, edgy feel. Particularly striking is the revival of civil weddings. According to the study, searches for "civil wedding photography" have increased by 638 percent, "wedding dress for registry office" has grown by 128 percent, and "wedding outfit registry office" has also grown by 49 percent. Churches, castles, and multi-day shabby-chic parties? Are they becoming rarer. Instead, people in their twenties are focusing on the essentials and staging their vows at the registry office as a stylish moment.

"Intimate registry office ceremonies are becoming increasingly popular as a modern alternative to traditional weddings," says Heather Clark, Head of Fashion and Luxury at Pinterest UK. Today, it's all about strong looks, clear imagery, and an aesthetic that says more than just a quick "I do."

Mocha is the Moment

For a long time, white was the undisputed star of weddings, with pastel shades enveloping every bride like a cloud of cotton candy. But in 2025, we'll be saying goodbye to this sweet, uniform color scheme and instead opting for rich chocolate and mocha tones that are as grown-up as they are cool. According to Pinterest, brown bridesmaid dresses are seeing a 438 percent increase in sales, and mocha-colored decorative elements and cake motifs are also becoming increasingly popular. The return of brown tones marks a larger aesthetic shift: Instead of a princess fantasy, the new wedding looks like a carefully staged editorial spread. A trend that demonstrates how consistently Gen Z values ​​individuality over traditional expectations.

Nineties-Core: between nostalgia and self-promotion

As in all trendy corners of the fashion world, the 90s are making a comeback in the wedding world. The glamour is deliberately edgy and raw, rebellious and with a keen sense of style. In 2025, vintage dresses will be in demand, sometimes flirting with delicate lace, sometimes shining with minimalist restraint. Men's suits are stepping out of the shadow of the classic tuxedo and setting bold accents in burgundy, champagne, and forest green.

Pinterest searches for "1990s wedding dress" increased by 138 percent, and those for "drop-waisted wedding dress" by a stunning 2,395 percent. "Vintage engagement ring" (+59%) and "1990s vintage wedding dress" (+45%) also demonstrate a clear desire for authenticity and retro chic.
