Planning Your 2025 Michigan Wedding? Here’s What’s Trending!

Hey, lovebirds! If you’re tying the knot in Michigan next year, you’re in for some seriously amazing wedding trends. As a Detroit wedding photographer, I’ve seen it all – from cozy backyard celebrations to sleek, industrial-chic parties in the heart of Detroit. And let me tell you, 2025 is shaping up to be all about making your day feel uniquely you.

Let’s talk about the trends that are stealing the show (and your hearts):

First up, candid photography is reigning supreme – no stiff poses or forced smiles here. Couples are ditching the “perfectly polished” for the perfectly real. Think belly laughs during the vows, a teary hug with Dad, or your best friend breaking out their signature moves on the dance floor. These are the moments that tell your story.

Then there’s the venues. Whether it’s a loft space in downtown Detroit or an intimate backyard in Birmingham, couples are choosing places that mean something to them. Bonus points for a venue that screams, “This is us.”

For all my eco-conscious couples, sustainable weddings are having their moment (and we love to see it!). Locally-sourced flowers, recycled paper invites, and eco-friendly venues are just a few ways to make your wedding day gorgeous and green.

And let’s talk color – vibrant, bold palettes are back in a big way. We’re talking jewel tones, playful décor, and all the personal details that make your guests say, “Wow, this is so them.” Signature cocktails? Yes. Custom playlists? Absolutely. A bounce house in your wedding colors? Why not?!

Here’s the bottom line:

Weddings in 2025 are all about authenticity, creativity, and celebrating what makes your love story one-of-a-kind. If you’re looking for a Detroit wedding photographer who’ll capture the real moments that make your day unforgettable, let’s chat!
