As couples plan their dream weddings for 2025, new trends are emerging that blend timeless elegance with modern flair. At Riverside Farm in Vermont, where rustic charm meets luxury, these trends can enhance the ambiance of your big day, from décor and fashion to personalized guest experiences. Whether you envision a romantic barn wedding or a scenic outdoor ceremony, incorporating the latest wedding styles will make your celebration unforgettable.
Decor Trends: Hanging Greenery & Personalized Touches
One of the biggest wedding décor trends for 2025 is hanging greenery, bringing a lush, organic feel to receptions. Suspended floral installations and cascading ivy create a natural, intimate atmosphere in barn venues and outdoor spaces alike. Engraved and customized dining items, such as monogrammed glassware, wooden name tags, or personalized menus, add a bespoke touch to the dining experience. Mixing rustic elements like reclaimed wood with elegant candlelit settings enhances the New England countryside aesthetic.
Food & Beverage Trends: Sweets Tables & Artisan Cocktails
Couples in 2025 are prioritizing unique culinary experiences for their guests. The sweets and treats table trend replaces the traditional wedding cake with a variety of desserts, from handcrafted chocolates to maple-glazed donuts—perfect for a Vermont wedding. Signature cocktails featuring local ingredients, such as apple cider-infused drinks in the fall or fresh berry spritzers in the spring, elevate the beverage selection. Grazing tables, farm-to-table dining, and interactive food stations continue to be popular, aligning perfectly with Riverside Farm’s rustic charm.
Style Trends: Corset Dresses & Vintage-Inspired Looks
Fashion-forward brides in 2025 are embracing corset dresses, blending vintage romance with modern sophistication. Whether in lace, satin, or sheer paneling, this structured silhouette complements Vermont’s elegant-yet-rustic wedding vibe. Grooms are gravitating toward classic three-piece suits with unique fabrics like tweed for a touch of personality. For guests, expect more earthy and jewel-tone color palettes, especially for fall weddings, while springtime events see floral prints and pastel hues.
Pre-Wedding Events: Polaroid Photos & Interactive Experiences
Pre-wedding festivities, such as rehearsal dinners and welcome parties, are getting a creative refresh in 2025. A Polaroid photo wall, where guests snap and pin their photos to a display, adds a nostalgic and interactive touch. Outdoor welcome picnics, complete with farm-fresh Vermont cheeses and wines, are replacing traditional sit-down rehearsal dinners. Additionally, guided group activities, like a morning yoga session in Riverside Farm’s scenic fields or a cozy bonfire gathering, set the tone for a relaxed and memorable wedding weekend.
