We delve in the world of venue styling trends taking weddings by storm in 2025 Wedding WONDERLAND Michael Mcauliffe on Unsplash SJ Objio on Unsplash Noelle Swogger on Unsplash Tamara Govedarovic on Unsplash Whether you’re planning a wow-factor wedding or something understated and personal, chances are you’re going to want to consider some level of venue styling along the way. Your venue will likely govern the lengths you’ll go to, not only in terms of what you’re permitted to do, but also considering whether it offers a blank canvas or a space that’s already a visual feast. Historical venues versus barns are the most obvious juxtaposed examples. A period property may already be packed to the rafters with stunning original features and adding too much would put you at risk of gilding the lily. It can be difficult to pull off a maximalist theme here. A barn venue on the other hand, will likely be a completely blank canvas. This can be welcome to those bursting with ideas but intimidating for others. If you fall into the latter camp but still yearn to put your own stamp on proceedings, look into hiring a local professional venue stylist who’ll do all the creative and physical hard work for you. The vibe of your wedding will be something you’ll need to think about early on, as it’ll have an influence on your venue search – town versus country, rustic versus elegant, boho verses formal and so on. So, put together those Pinterest boards (it’s never too early to start) and head over to the ‘gram to compile the ultimate moodboard of your vision. But hold on! Before you shoot off, don’t miss our roundup of all things venue styling trending with nearlyweds right now! COWBOY ERA We’ve always known that country is cool, but the rest of the world caught on more recently with the cowboycore fashion trend taking hold thanks to music icons such as Beyoncé, Lana Del Ray and old school Taylor Swift. Even ride or die Harry Styles fans identify with the vibe having made cowboy hats a signature over the past couple of years. The bottom line is cowboy’s cool and you know it! Whether any of this has inspired you or you’ve fallen head-overheels for Kevin Costner’s portrayal of John Dutton in Yellowstone, it may delight you to know that more and more are choosing to express their cowboy era though their wedding venue styling. We think it’s 2025’s boho chic! With a wealth of barn venues throughout the region, this vibe is an absolute breeze to pull off since its roots lie in rustic, countryside elements. So, what are your easy-to-access, traditionally rustic elements that can work here? Think milk churns filled with florals, macrame hanging installations, hay bales, festoon lighting and mismatched wooden furniture. Then, sprinkle with a few motifs to elevate it to cowboycore luxe: horseshoes, neon signs, cowboy boots, horsebox bar, cartwheels, star-shaped paper lanterns mirroring the stars and stripes, and cactus favours or centrepieces, and you’re away!
