2025 Bridal party trends to look out for this wedding season. The wedding industry is constantly evolving, and 2025 is bringing exciting new trends that reflect personalization, inclusivity, and unforgettable experiences. Our own Michelle Durpetti was recently featured in Martha Stewart, offering her expert insights on the latest bridal party trends that are redefining modern celebrations.
In the article, Michelle and other top wedding planners discuss how couples are shifting toward smaller bridal parties, unique pre-wedding celebrations, and aesthetic wedding themes. These trends highlight a move toward creating more meaningful and personal celebrations that truly reflect the couple’s love story.
Traditional wedding party protocols are giving way to more personalized approaches.
Perfectly matching ensembles, traditional bouquets, and over-the-top bach parties have long fallen to the wayside. Wedding parties are now more personalized, with couples putting fresh spins on tradition and being more intentional with how they choose to celebrate these special people in their lives. Those who’ve seen it all—in this case, professional wedding planners and vendors—are detailing the trends you can expect to see at celebrations this year.
Along with couples having fewer bridesmaids and groomsmen, some are skipping the wedding party altogether. “This shift reflects a growing preference for personalized, relaxed wedding experiences,” says Michelle Durpetti, founder of Durpetti Events. “Couples are prioritizing less stress and financial burden for their friends; a smaller party or no bridal party allows for more focus on unique guest experiences, rather than structured wedding party duties.”
