What’s Trending in Wedding Décor: 2025

Fresh Looks & Inspiring Details to Elevate Your Celebration

Wedding décor is all about creating an atmosphere—one that feels intentional, stylish, and deeply personal. At Oak and Ivory, we’ve had our eyes on the latest trends, and 2025 is shaping up to be a year full of thoughtful design, bold texture, and reimagined classics.

Whether you're planning a timeless affair or dreaming of something totally out of the box, here's what’s trending right now in the world of wedding décor—and how you can incorporate these ideas into your own celebration.

1. Texture on Texture✨

Gone are the days of perfectly smooth and symmetrical tablescapes—this year is all about layering textures to create depth and dimension. Think gauzy cheesecloth table runners paired with velvet napkins, chargers under fine china, and mix-and-match candlesticks in brass, ceramic and glass.

Try this with Oak and Ivory: Pair our satin napkins with velvet or scuba tablecloths, and finish the look with vintage-inspired candle holders for a cozy yet elevated aesthetic.

2. Statement Lighting

From table lamps to pillar and taper candle clusters, atmospheric lighting is having a serious moment. Couples are using lighting not just for function, but as a major part of the décor. Bonus: it makes your photos look magical.

Consider: Using pillar or taper candles in mixed-height holders, or layering votive clusters for a soft, romantic glow.

3. Soft Color Palettes With a Twist

While neutrals remain a staple, we’re seeing more couples add depth with unexpected tones like olive green, merlot red, soft yellow, and mauve pink. These rich accents add a contemporary edge to classic palettes.

Oak and Ivory favourites: Our merlot red napkins, olive green runners, or mauve pink chair sashes are perfect for bringing subtle colour into your tablescape without overpowering your look.

4. Champagne Towers & Signature Moments

Personal, photo-worthy moments are everything. Couples are skipping the cookie-cutter setups in favor of interactive décor elements—champagne towers, prosecco walls, DIY cocktail bars, and vintage lounge seating are all trending hard.

Don’t miss: Our coupé glassware rentals are ideal for champagne towers, to help you design a jaw-dropping focal point for your celebration.

5. Lounge Areas & Styled Vignettes

Create cozy corners for guests to relax, snap photos, and soak in the ambiance. Think vintage furniture rentals, styled coffee tables, and floral installations that feel like part of the space—not just decoration. Even if you're short on space, a styled vignette near your guestbook or cake table can make a huge impact.

6. Candle-Heavy Tablescapes

Candlelight is timeless—but right now, it's everything. Couples are leaning into candle-heavy designs, using dozens of votives and taper candles to add drama and romance to their tables.

Oak and Ivory pick: Layer our gold, or glass candle holders with varying heights and taper colors to create a warm, intimate glow across your tables.
