2025 Wedding Trends: The ‘It Girl’ & Old Money Aesthetic Explained
If you’re planning a 2025 wedding and dreaming of timeless elegance with a modern twist, you’ve likely come across two major trends: the 'It Girl' vibe and the Old Money aesthetic. But what do they really mean—and how can you bring them to life on your wedding day?
Here’s your guide to making these luxury trends effortlessly yours.
1. Minimalist Elegance Over Flashy Statements Think less is more. The 'It Girl' bride embraces clean lines, sleek silhouettes, and sophisticated simplicity. Picture satin gowns, chic low buns, and understated makeup that highlights natural beauty.
The Old Money aesthetic leans into timeless pieces—heirloom jewelry, classic tuxedos, and venues that speak for themselves, like private estates or historic villas.
2. Neutral Tones & Soft Florals Goodbye bold colors, hello neutral palettes. Shades of ivory, champagne, soft blush, and muted greens are taking center stage. Florals are organic, airy, and romantic—think garden-style arrangements with an effortless feel.
Pro Tip: Florals should look like they belong to the venue, not compete with it.
3. Vintage Details That Whisper Luxury It’s all about subtle nods to the past: pearl accents, embroidered linens, candelabras, and fine china. These details add depth and richness without feeling overdone.
For the 'It Girl', it’s the effortless mix of vintage charm with modern touches—like pairing a classic veil with trendy bridal shoes.
4. Exclusive Venues & Intimate Guest Lists Private villas in Italy, chateaus in France, or a tucked-away garden in Spain—2025 couples are opting for exclusive settings that offer privacy and character.
Smaller guest lists keep the focus on meaningful connections and elevated experiences, like multi-course dinners and live musicians.
5. Cinematic Content & Candid Moments Forget staged photos—modern luxury brides want editorial-style photography and behind-the-scenes content that feels authentic. Hiring a content creator alongside your photographer is becoming a must for capturing those in-between moments.
