At Winona Vine Estates, we’re thrilled to help bring these wedding trends to life. Our stunning private venue and exceptional service offer the ideal setting to celebrate. Ready to explore what’s trending? Let’s dive into the top wedding ideas for 2025!
1. Bold and Vibrant Colour Palettes
In 2025, muted tones are stepping aside as couples embrace bold, vibrant colour palettes to make their weddings unforgettable. Picture rich jewel tones like emerald green, deep amethyst, and ruby red, accented with metallic touches or surprising pops of colour like terracotta and mustard yellow. These striking shades can be woven into tablescapes using vibrant linens, eye-catching glassware, and dramatic floral arrangements, creating a visual feast for your guests. For added flair, statement installations are becoming a must-have. Think suspended floral chandeliers that add a touch of elegance or bold backdrops that frame key moments, such as the cake table or ceremony area. Lighting also plays a huge role–our state of the art fully programmable intelligent lighting system can completely transform your reception space, setting the mood and enhancing your chosen colour palette. At Winona Vine Estates, our timeless and neutral event spaces offer the perfect blank canvas for your bold wedding vision. Whether you’re highlighting deep jewel tones or mixing in unexpected accents, our venue’s elegance ensures your colour choices stand out beautifully, creating a stunning backdrop for your celebration.
2. Multi-Experience Wedding Reception Ideas
Weddings are evolving into more than just ceremonies–they’re becoming immersive experiences designed to entertain and engage guests from start to finish. Modern wedding venues are becoming the perfect setting for these dynamic celebrations. Interactive food stations are one popular trend, featuring options like build-your-own tacos, sushi-rolling setups, or customizable dessert buffets. These hands-on dining experiences not only elevate the menu but also encourage guests to mingle and have fun. Another standout trend is the evolution of photo and video setups. From nostalgic vintage photo booths to cutting-edge 360-degree video experiences, couples are incorporating creative ways to capture memories while entertaining their guests. These elements add a personalized touch and ensure the celebration is as unique as the couple themselves. At Winona Vine Estates, our versatile spaces and picturesque grounds make it easy to bring these trends to life. With areas designed for cocktail hours, interactive zones, and receptions, our wedding venue seamlessly accommodates the modern couple’s vision for a vibrant and special event.
3. Different Types of Weddings Are on the Rise
This year, couples are redefining traditional wedding formats to reflect their personalities, values, and priorities. Whether you’re dreaming of a grand celebration or an intimate gathering, there’s a style to suit every couple in 2025. Themed weddings are on the rise in 2025, with vintage-inspired celebrations leading the way. Couples are drawn to the charm of bygone eras, whether it’s the romance of the Roaring Twenties or the elegance of mid-century glamour. These types of weddings blend décor, attire, and music into a cohesive, storybook experience. At Winona Vine Estates, we cater to all types of weddings – whether you’re planning a big celebration, an intimate affair, or a vintage- inspired fairy tale. We’re here to help bring your vision to life, no matter what style you choose.
4. Personalization and Custom Experiences
Couples are moving beyond traditional ceremonies and creating a completely personalized, branded experience for their wedding. From save-the-date invitations to the wedding website, and even seating charts, every detail reflects a carefully crafted theme. The colour palette, custom logos, and designs all work together to create a unique experience.

5. Ideas to Sweeten the Deal - Wedding Cakes & Desserts
The traditioned tiered cake is getting a makeover. Couples are embracing bold designs, creative flavours and unique dessert options. Artistic cakes have become popular, with hand-painted details, metallic finishes, and even unconventional shapes taking center stage. But it’s not just about the cake anymore–weddings are featuring a variety of desserts, from mini pastries and freshly baked Portuguese custards to fun choices like a cannoli filling station. Another growing trend is late-night snacks. After a few hours of dancing, surprise guests with treats like a poutine station, sliders or an ice cream sundae bar. We can connect you with talented local bakers who create the perfect sweet ending to your big day. From show-stopping cakes to unique dessert stations, we’ll help you find the perfect treats to satisfy your guests’ cravings.
6. Sustainable Wedding Trends
Sustainability is a key focus for couples planning their weddings in 2025 and choosing eco-friendly wedding venues is a great way to reduce environmental impact. Sustainable choices not only reflect modern values, but they also add a thoughtful and meaningful touch to your celebration. Minimalistic décor, like potted plants, dried flowers, or multi-use furniture, can be repurposed for other events. Farm-to-table menus are increasingly popular, as couples opt for locally sourced, organic ingredients. You can also minimize paper waste by sending beautifully designed e-invites or using eco-friendly stationary. To further reduce your carbon footprint, consider working with local florists, caterers, and bakers. At Winona Vine Estates, we are committed to sustainable practices and can help you incorporate eco-friendly options into your big day, from choosing vendors to selecting décor ideas.
7. Wedding Tips: Think of Entertainment Beyond the Dance Floor
Wedding receptions this year are all about creating memorable experiences, and entertainment is a central part of that. Couples are embracing unique lighting designs and exciting performance acts like fire dancers and aerialists, making sure their reception stands out and keeps guests talking. For an added touch of surprise, consider incorporating unexpected moments like fireworks or a choreographed dance routine to cap off the evening. If you’re looking for wedding reception ideas that wow, Winona Vine Estates offers a spacious and versatile venue where your vision can come to life.
