Planning your wedding and want to know what’s on trend? Look no further! Here are the top 2025 wedding trends must haves for your wedding at Alcumlow.
In 2025 we’re seeing couples move away from traditional, formal weddings and embrace more relaxed and informal celebrations. At Alcumlow, we’re here to help you bring your vision to life, offering a unique experience that reflects who you are as a couple. Read on to discover how you can infuse those key 2025 wedding trends into your special day.
Our Top 2025 Wedding Trends
1. The Intimate Weddings Trend
In recent years the trend of large, extravagant weddings has shifted towards more meaningful celebrations. Gone are the days where a large, extravagant wedding ceremony was the ultimate dream for every bride and groom. The emphasis is now on celebrating your love story with those who matter most, making your guest list more manageable and your budget more affordable.
Here at Alcumlow we offer a unique package tailored to those couples that prefer intimate over lavish. We understand that the intimate weddings trend is becoming more popular, which is why we offer personalised packages tailored for smaller celebrations. If a relaxed, intimate atmosphere resonates with you, we’re here to help make it a reality.
2. Pet-Friendly Weddings
For many couples, pets are more than just animals – they’re family. And in 2025, it's becoming increasingly popular to include furry friends in the wedding festivities. That being said, it makes perfect sense to include them in one of the most important events of your life.
Alcumlow is proud to be a pet-friendly venue, dedicated to ensuring your four-legged friends are part of the celebration. Our venue is designed to accommodate your furry friends and our team will be on hand to help make your day as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
Consider Hiring a Pet Chaperone

3. The Weekday Weddings Trend
Weekday weddings are gaining popularity as couples seek more affordable and unique alternatives to the traditional Saturday affair. Here are just a few reasons why weekday weddings might be the perfect choice for you:
Affordability: Weekday weddings are often more budget-friendly, with many suppliers offering discounts for non-weekend events. This means you can allocate more of your budget toward other special aspects of your day – or even treat yourselves to an unforgettable honeymoon!
Availability: Popular weekend and summer dates are often booked years in advance. By opting for a weekday wedding, you open up more options and give yourself more time to find the perfect venue and plan your dream day. At Alcumlow, we offer wedding packages 7 days a week, ensuring that no matter what day you choose, we’re ready to help you create the wedding of your dreams.
4. Creative Food Experiences
Your wedding menu is an opportunity to showcase your personalities and tastes as a couple. In 2025, many couples are moving away from the traditional three-course dinner and opting for more relaxed, interactive dining experiences. Whether it's a buffet, food stations, or a ‘build your own’ menu, the focus is on creating a unique experience for your guests.
We’ve partnered with Ridgway Caterers to offer a wide variety of bespoke menu options tailored to your preferences. Whether you have a favourite dish in mind or want to create something completely new, Ridgway Catering is here to bring your vision to life. Learn more about our catering options here.
5. The Cocktail Hour
The cocktail hour is becoming a must-have at weddings in 2025. It’s the perfect way to keep the energy high and set the tone for the rest of the evening. After the wedding breakfast, the cocktail hour allows guests to mingle and enjoy refreshing drinks, this is a great option for intimate weddings.
At Alcumlow, we offer a range of drink packages to suit your tastes. Whether you want signature cocktails or a classic selection, we’re happy to work with you to create a bespoke drink menu that perfectly complements your wedding. For more information on our drinks packages contact us.
