New year, new trends, what’s everybody talking about, what’s the buzz? Wedding season 2025 trends are all about personalization, elegance, and unforgettable experiences. For couples planning their destination wedding in the Riviera Maya, Villa La Joya offers the perfect canvas to bring these trends to life. Let’s explore the top wedding trends for 2025 and how you can incorporate them into your special day at our beachfront venue in Mexico.

1. Fashion-Forward Weddings: Two (Three? Four?) Outfit Changes Are In

Why settle for one gorgeous destination wedding outfit when you can have two? Or more? In 2025, couples are embracing the idea of wardrobe changes to showcase different styles throughout their destination wedding day. Picture this: a timeless gown for your romantic seaside ceremony, a quick change to sleek elegance for cocktail hour followed by a chic and modern outfit for dancing the night away under the stars at Villa La Joya.

2. Elegant Nude Nails: Understated and Timeless

Nude nails are the ideal choice for destination brides who want a polished and natural look. The Mexican Caribbean’s tropical vibe pairs beautifully with soft, understated nail tones, allowing your bouquet and dress to truly shine in those wedding photos.

3. Mix & Match Bridesmaids Dresses

Adios matching bridesmaid attire! For 2025, mix-and-match bridesmaid dresses are making waves, giving your bridal party a chance to shine in complementary colors and their own unique styles and body shapes. Villa La Joya’s vibrant gardens and luxurious architecture serve as a perfect backdrop for a dynamic, coordinated bridal party look that doesn’t have to be all matchy-matchy.

4. Aesthetic Dress Codes for Guests

Make your Mexico wedding photos Instagram-worthy by setting a specific dress code for your guests. Maybe it’s “tropical chic” or “all-white elegance,” planning to have an aesthetic dress code adds an extra layer of sophistication and makes your Riviera Maya wedding at Villa La Joya truly picture-perfect.

8. Dramatic Drapes Decor

Create a fairytale atmosphere with dramatic drapes and flowing fabrics. Frame your wedding altar by the sea or enhance the reception area, drapes add a luxurious touch to your Villa La Joya wedding, accentuating the venue’s romantic elegance. Bright colors or all white, combined with creative wedding lighting and florals, we LOVE a flowy drape design. Photos by Christina Powell

9. Serpentine Tablescapes

Brides are leaving behind the idea of traditional seating arrangements and choosing serpentine tablescapes for their 2025 destination wedding receptions. These flowing table designs encourage mingling and create a visually stunning reception layout. Paired with Villa La Joya’s architecture, lush surroundings and ocean views, serpentine tables take your destination wedding to the next level. Photos by Christina Powell

10. Statement Escort Card Displays

Escort cards go from functional to fabulous in 2025! Design a statement display that doubles as decor - think a wall of tropical greenery with cards tucked into the leaves, tequila glasses, or bags of coffee blends. It’s the perfect way to wow your guests upon arrival. Photos by Claudia Klassen
