2025 Outdoor Wedding Trends

Planning an outdoor wedding in 2025? You’re in for a treat! This year, couples are embracing innovative trends that blend nature, creativity, and sustainability to craft unforgettable experiences. At Hapikåta, we love helping couples bring their dream weddings to life with our stunning Nordic tipis, perfect for any outdoor celebration. Here are the top outdoor wedding trends for 2025 that you won’t want to miss.

1. Eco-Friendly Weddings

Sustainability continues to be a priority for couples, and Hapikåta’s tipis provide an ideal choice for eco-conscious celebrations.

• Green Venues: Sustainability is at the forefront of everything in 2025. Sustainable venues and alternatives (live our tipis) are great for turning your wedding green (not literally).

• Plastic-Free Celebrations: Choose biodegradable or reusable materials for tableware and decorations.

• Eco-Friendly Fashions: Capture stunning photos of your vintage or pre-loved wedding attire against our tipi backdrops.

How Hapikåta Helps: Our tipis are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural environment and are completely sustainable, aligning with your sustainability goals while creating a breathtaking venue.

2. Intimate Celebrations

Smaller gatherings are another trend we’re expecting to see in 2025. Hapikåta’s versatile tipis are perfect for smaller, meaningful gatherings.

• Smaller Guest Lists: Create cosy, intimate spaces for your ceremony and reception.

• Personalised Details: Work with us to design unique touches, from bespoke seating layouts to customised lighting.

• Destination Elopements: Exchange vows in a serene outdoor setting under the shelter of our stunning tipis.

3. Innovative Catering Experiences

Food and drink are central to weddings and in 2025 that isn’t going to change. 

• Interactive Food Stations: Set up build-your-own dessert bars or artisan grazing tables.

• Sustainable Menus: Opt for locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.

• Signature Cocktails: Serve drinks that reflect your personality, enhanced by the natural beauty of our tipi venues.

4. Bold Colour Palettes

2025 weddings are embracing vibrant, bold colours that complement the outdoors.

• Jewel Tones: Add rich colours that contrast beautifully with the natural surroundings.

• Monochromatic Themes: Play with shades of a single hue for a cohesive look.

• Cultural Inspiration: Reflect your heritage or personal style with your chosen palette.

5. Tech-Enhanced Weddings

Technology is becoming an integral part of modern weddings, we expect that to continue and grow in 2025 with tech being a key driver in taking weddings to the next level.

• Live Streaming: Share your ceremony with loved ones who can’t attend in person.

• Interactive QR Codes: Use codes for menus, seating arrangements, and gift registries.

• Drone Photography: Capture breathtaking aerial views of your tipi wedding.

6. Statement Floral Installations

Floral arrangements in 2025 are all about making an impression, we expect 2025 to see bold floral decors that stand out for the ordinary. 

• Suspended Arrangements: Hang flowers inside the tipis for a magical effect.

• Asymmetrical Designs: Choose unique floral arrangements that mimic natural patterns.

• Seasonal Blooms: Use locally grown flowers for a sustainable and cohesive look.

7. Multi-Day Celebrations

Single-day weddings are a thing of the past, extended wedding joy with weekends or multi-day celebrations are expected to take 2025 by storm - so make sure you save plenty of annual leave. 

• Welcome Parties: Host a relaxed gathering under the tipis the evening before your wedding.

• Day-After Brunches: Celebrate with family and friends in a laid-back setting.

• Experiential Activities: Entertain guests with outdoor games or firepits for late-night storytelling.

8. Personalised Entertainment

We expect to see entertainment become even more personalised in 2025, themed photo booths, live bands being incorporated in your wedding day and live performers (such as illustrators) are expected to be popping up throughout 2025. 

• Live Bands: Perform under the tipis for a show-stopping experience.

• Interactive Performers: Consider live painters or caricature artists to capture the magic of your day.

• Themed Photo Booths: Customise backdrops that tie in with your wedding theme.

9. Sustainability-Focused Décor

At Hapikåta, sustainability and style go hand-in-hand for your wedding décor.

• Reusable Elements: Rent decorations that can be reused for other events.

• Natural Materials: Incorporate wood, stone, and foliage into your design.

• Potted Plants: Use live plants as centrepieces that guests can take home.
