If 2024 was about getting back to big celebrations, 2025 is embracing the intentional wedding—especially in the spring. The trend? Smaller guest lists, elevated experiences. Think of it as quality over quantity with a focus on beautiful details, curated moments, and stress-free joy. If you're thinking of keeping it close-knit, here's why intimate spring weddings are taking over and how to make yours unforgettable.
Why Intimate Weddings Are Trending in Spring 2025
More Budget to Play With: Fewer guests = more funds for florals, fashion, food, and unique experiences. Couples are opting for luxe rentals, multi-course dinners, and designer attire without breaking the bank.
Deeper Connections: Smaller weddings allow for more meaningful conversations, longer moments with each guest, and less pressure to “work the room.”
More Venue Options: Private gardens, boutique hotels, family backyards, and hidden gems that might not accommodate 200 guests become beautiful possibilities for 30–60 people.
Spring Styling Tips for Your Intimate Wedding
Elevate the Tablescape: With fewer tables, you can go all in—custom menus, velvet runners, heirloom-style china, and bold floral runners.
Personalized Touches: Handwritten name cards, personalized welcome boxes, or custom signature cocktails named after pets or love stories go a long way.
Seasonal Details: Incorporate spring blooms like lilacs, daffodils, tulips, or cherry blossoms. Add fresh herbs, local fruit, or even floral-infused cocktails to create a full sensory experience.
