It is hard to believe 2025 is right around the corner! With the start of a new year, experts in a variety of industries begin to make trend predictions on what they think will be the most popular choices for the upcoming year. The wedding industry is one area where trend predictions are in full effect. So with that being said, here are some trending wedding centerpiece options for your 2025 wedding from experts in weddings.
Charcuterie Centerpieces
This option is trending for 2025 and for good reason. Every couple does cocktail hour differently – some couples have a long cocktail hour, some use shared spaces for the cocktail hour and reception. However you choose to go about cocktail hour, the charcuterie board centerpieces are a convenient way for guests to snack before dinner. Instead of elaborate cheese and antipasto displays that serve as grazing stations, guests can settle into their chairs and snack freely.
Aside from the convenience of charcuterie centerpieces, they look amazing. They are fully customizable, elevate the aesthetic of the tables, and also help save venue space for a bigger dance floor. At The Embassy, our on-site catering staff is available to bring your charcuterie board centerpiece vision to life.
Bud Vases
Bud vases have been an ongoing trend for wedding centerpieces for a variety of reasons. The biggest reason is that they often are the most cost-effective option compared to large arrangements. Depending on your budget, bud vases are a fun way to incorporate beautiful colors and florals for a reasonable price. Additionally, they are easy to transport and are easily DIY-able.
In 2025, we are going to start seeing more bursts of color not only in floral selection but in bud vase color as well. Expect to see beautiful amber colors, ocean blues, and light shades of pink on tables mixed with candles and other elements.
Floral Chains
Floral chains may not be the correct terminology, but hey, we’re a wedding venue – not florists. What we mean by “floral chains” is a long row of continuous florals. With an increase in the usage of long, family-style tables, florals are emphasizing the length of the table by matching it. This option looks stunning and elevates the overall aesthetic of the room.
In 2025, we’ll see a good balance of neutrals, champagnes, and white floral chains, as well as bright, airy colors to really make a bold statement to guests.
Nothing but Candles
Candles are timeless, romantic, and definitely not going anywhere in 2025. Brides are choosing to go for an all-candle feel for a variety of reasons. Depending on where you source your candles, they may be more affordable compared to florals. Also, depending on the overall vision you want for your wedding, candles add elegance and photograph beautifully.
Make sure to discuss the candle policy with your wedding venue before making your mind up about this centerpiece option. At The Embassy, we love an all-candle centerpiece and are okay with them as long as the flame is enclosed in a hurricane vase of some sort.
