Planning a wedding can be an exciting yet overwhelming process, especially with the evolving trends that influence every aspect of the big day. From food choices to décor styles, weddings in 2024 and 2025 are set to blend modern creativity with timeless elegance. As a full service catering company, we’re excited to share the top wedding trends, 2025 wedding ideas, and wedding caterer must-knows that we're loving to make your celebration stand out. 

2024 & 2025 Wedding Trends to Keep an Eye On

1. Artfully Curated 

Bespoke Dining Experiences

For couples looking to create an intimate, memorable event, curating a bespoke dining experience has become a popular choice. Couples are opting for a culinary journey that brings the sophistication and style of their favorite restaurants into their wedding day. As wedding caterers, we’ve seen increased demand for personalized, restaurant-inspired menus that offer guests a taste of the couple’s most cherished flavors, presented with elegance and flair.  

How We Execute It: At Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events, we specialize in translating the atmosphere of your favorite dining experiences into your wedding day. Our chefs work closely with couples to design menus that reflect their personal tastes, ensuring that each dish is artfully prepared and served with impeccable attention to detail  

Multi-Day Events with Hospitality Focus

Building on the trend from 2024, multi-day events continue into 2025 with a strong emphasis on hospitality. Couples are creating immersive experiences for their guests, from luxury welcome bags to personalized dining experiences, ensuring everyone feels pampered and appreciated. 

How We Execute It: Our team is experienced in handling multi-day celebrations with seamless service. We collaborate with you to craft unique dining experiences across each event, from welcome receptions to farewell brunches, ensuring every guest feels well cared for. 

2. Out-of-the-Box Personalization 

Meaningful, Non-Formal Menus

The days of traditional, formal sit-down dinners are shifting. Couples are choosing menus that reflect their personalities and favorite comfort foods, such as gourmet street tacos, charcuterie grazing tables, and family-style meals. This relaxed yet thoughtful approach to dining fosters a warm, welcoming atmosphere. 

How We Execute It: We’re all about personalization. Whether you want a laid-back family-style feast or a gourmet twist on your favorite street food, our culinary team ensures every meal tells your story. We take pride in designing a dining experience that feels like an extension of your personality, making it just as memorable as the celebration itself.  

Artistic Cakes and Alternative Desserts

In 2025, wedding cakes will be works of art. Expect to see cakes adorned with hand-painted details, metallic accents, and unexpected designs. However, not every wedding needs a traditional wedding cake. This trend of alternative desserts, such as gourmet pies, macarons, and artisan donuts, allows couples to feature their favorite dessert (especially if cake is not at the top of the list!) on their special day, while simultaneously offering a sweet treat for every guest.  

How We Execute It: Whether it’s an intricately designed cake or a creative alternative dessert bar, we ensure that every sweet offering is as visually stunning as it is delicious, providing a perfect ending to your event.  

3. Intentional Sustainability 

Sustainability Throughout the Wedding

From eco-friendly invitations to thoughtfully sourced food and recyclable décor, sustainability is a key focus for 2024 and 2025 weddings. Couples are making conscious decisions to reduce waste, and as a wedding caterer, we support this by offering thoughtfully sourced, scratch-made ingredients and dining options. 

How We Execute It: Sustainability is a core value at Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events. We prioritize using thoughtfully sourced, scratch-made ingredients and offer a variety of eco-conscious catering options.  

Vintage Décor

Vintage elements like antique furniture, lace table runners, and nostalgic details are making a comeback. Yes, the vintage aesthetic is a visual trend, however, it stems from the reuse and repurposing of items, often that were thoughtfully made offering a unique design touch to a couple’s big day. Paired with modern catering, this blend of old and new creates a truly unique and personalized wedding atmosphere. 

How We Execute It: We understand that decor is an extension of your wedding’s overall theme. From vintage-inspired tablescapes to timeless, elegant serving stations, we create a cohesive and beautiful setting that works with you theme, menu choices, and guest needs.
