Weddings in 2025 are shaping up to be bolder, smarter, and more sustainable. One trend we’re especially excited about at Something Borrowed is the growing love for bridal and bridesmaid rentals – and trust us, it’s not just about saving money (though that’s a big plus!).

Here’s a peek at what’s coming for weddings in 2025, from colour trends to why renting your bridal party attire just makes sense.

The Rise of Bridal and Bridesmaid Rentals

With more couples embracing eco-conscious choices, the idea of renting instead of buying is becoming the go-to. Rental offers brides and their bridesmaids access to designer-quality dresses at a fraction of the price, while also reducing waste.

Expect more wedding parties to say “yes” to the rental dress as budgets tighten and sustainability becomes non-negotiable.

Why brides are renting in 2025:

• Sustainability is top of mind

• Cost savings for bridesmaids

• More flexible style options

• No clutter post-wedding

Top Bridesmaid Colour Trends for 2025

Say goodbye to blush pink and hello to a new wave of colour stories for 2025. Our stylists are seeing brides lean into bold, expressive palettes and versatile tones that flatter every skin tone.

Here are the colours we predict will take centre stage:

• Terracotta & Rust Tones – Warm, earthy and rich

• Icy Blue & Silver Grey – Cool-toned and ethereal

• Sage Green – Still a winner for garden and rustic weddings

• Plum & Deep Berry – Romantic, moody, and luxe

• Champagne Neutrals – Timeless and easy to style

Silhouettes & Fabrics to Watch

In terms of cuts and fabrics, think lightweight, flowy materials like chiffon and crepe – perfect for dancing the night away. Popular silhouettes include:

• Wrap Dresses (great for all body types)

• A-line Gowns with modern details

• Slip Dresses for a 90s minimalist look

• Mix-and-Match Styles in a cohesive colour palette
