Every year brings a fresh wave of trends—but the ones I love most are the ones that feel timeless and a little bit unexpected. If you’re planning a wedding or designing your own stationery suite this year, here are the 2025 trends I’m loving most—especially if you’re drawn to soft nostalgia, whimsy, and just a little bit of drama.
Editorial-Style Invitations
Think wedding invites that look like pages from a vintage magazine—oversized typography, intentional white space, and poetic text layouts. They feel less like an announcement and more like a keepsake.
Illustrated Borders & Vintage Doodles
Illustrated details are having a major moment—floral frames, botanical sketches, and hand-drawn motifs that add personality without feeling overdone. These pair beautifully with minimal text layouts.
Moody Pastels
Instead of bright blushes or standard ivory, couples are leaning into misty mauves, smoky lilac, soft mushroom gray, and dusky rose. Romantic, but with depth.
Wax Seals & Silk Ribbons (Still Going Strong)
These tactile touches aren’t going anywhere. But 2025 is leaning into unexpected combinations—like black wax with pastel envelopes, or hand-dyed ribbons in antique gold.
Nostalgic Language & Whimsical Wording
Formal language is softening. More couples are using poetic, narrative-style wording: “Join us under the stars,” “A celebration of storybook love,” or “Meet us where the wildflowers bloom.”
Trends are fun, but the best designs are always the ones that feel like you. If any of these ideas resonate, don’t be afraid to blend them into your own story—your stationery should feel like the first page of your wedding’s love letter.
