Weddings at Hensol Castle in 2025 are shaping up to be unforgettable. Our wedding coordinators are enjoying meeting with our upcoming couples and discussing all things wedding planning! As our couples seek to create truly unique experiences for their big day, the industry is buzzing with fresh ideas and inspiring trends.
Whether you're planning your wedding or helping someone plan theirs, here are the top wedding trends for 2025 that every couple should know.
Sustainability at the Core
Our Hensol Castle coordinators have noticed that sustainability continues to be a major priority, with couples making eco-friendly choices throughout their wedding planning process. If you are a 2025 wedding guest, expect to see:
- Recyclable or digital invitations: Reducing paper waste while maintaining elegance with creative e-invite designs.
- Sustainable decor: Renting items or using biodegradable materials for centerpieces, table settings, and even confetti.
Bold Colour Palettes
Goodbye to soft pastels—2025 is all about bold, vibrancy and we can’t wait to see how our Hensol Castle couples decorate throughout the castle this upcoming wedding season.
Think jewel tones like emerald, sapphire, and ruby combined with unexpected pops of neon or metallic accents. These striking combinations will be seen in everything from floral arrangements to bridesmaid dresses and table linens.
Interactive Entertainment
Couples are looking to wow their guests with unforgettable entertainment. Popular choices include:
- Live art performances: Artists painting scenes of the event in real-time.
- Immersive music experiences: String quartets blending classic and modern tunes or surprise musical acts.
- Interactive stations: DIY cocktail bars, photo booths with instant printing, or build-your-own dessert bars.
Statement Fashion Choices

Even though we’re a 17th century castle, we’ve noticed that wedding attire is moving beyond the traditional. Expect to see:
- Custom gowns and suits: Personalized designs that reflect the couple’s story.
- Bold accessories: Capes, oversized bows, and unique headpieces.
- Colorful attire: Gowns in shades of blush, lavender, or even black, and suits in vibrant patterns.
Focus on Personalisation
