Weddings in 2025 are trending towards smaller, more intentional, and more efficient events. Couples are trading maximalist extravagance for streamlined simplicity—but simple weddings doesn’t have to mean boring.

In the following pages, we detail 9 ways to simplify a wedding, with product-specific insights on how each trend impacts your buying strategy, marketing, or fulfillment. In short, simple weddings are coming—make sure your inventory, operations, and salesforce are ready.
- Downsizing the Guest List
Why Couples Are Doing It
Weddings are smaller—focused on 30–70 guests instead of 150–250.
Smaller numbers allow for meaningful time with loved ones and less event planning stress.
What It Means for Suppliers
Expect less demand for venue-wide decor.
Smaller settings like sweetheart tables or mini lounges are popular.
Stock compact floral backdrops, cozy tableware sets, and signage options that fit the bill.
- Selecting a Single Venue
Why Couples Are Doing It
Having the ceremony and reception in one place simplifies planning and costs.
What It Means for Suppliers
Decor must be more versatile and multi-functional.
Reusable arches, modular floral panels, and multi-purpose lighting are in demand.
Sell portable, quick-to-install pieces that work in multiple areas of a single venue.
- Prioritizing Statement Pieces Over Quantity
Why Couples Are Doing It
Couples are skipping the small decor details and focusing on one or two “wow” factors—a massive flower wall, chandelier, or photo booth installation.
What It Means for Suppliers
Luxury statement decor (balloon walls, floral arches, neon signage) will be in demand.
Promote products that create high-impact visuals, look great on social, and require fewer total items.
- Simplifying the Color Palette
Why Couples Are Doing It
Selecting one or two main colors simplifies planning and makes the wedding look cohesive and sophisticated.
What It Means for Suppliers
Sell sets or product lines of coordinated tablecloths, florals, linens, and decor props.
Stock trending colors like terracotta, sage, and dusty blue.
Create swatches or printed lookbooks organized by color palette.
- Going Paperless With Digital Invitations & RSVPs
Why Couples Are Doing It
Couples are eliminating paper waste with digital invitations, RSVP links, and planning tools.
What It Means for Suppliers
Stationery orders may decrease, but that’s where you can innovate.
Sell signage, QR code display boards, digital guest books, and other on-site tools.
Offer products to customize and help create a unique, tech-based wedding experience.
- Selecting Decor That’s Multi-Use
Why Couples Are Doing It
Buying a decor piece for more than one part of the day (using the floral back wall as a ceremony backdrop and then a photo booth backdrop) is a way to stretch budgets.
What It Means for Suppliers
Design products with mobility and reusability in mind.
Clients will prefer items that can be moved quickly, have modular or flexible structures, and come pre-assembled or are easy to set up.
Include instructional demo videos on your website showing how products can transition from space to space.
- DIYing More With Supplier Assistance
Why Couples Are Doing It
Building a centerpiece or photo booth themselves is a personal touch couples are loving.
What It Means for Suppliers
Sell DIY “build your own” kits, customizable packages, and clear setup instructions.
Market towards budget-conscious planners or couples who want to DIY but aren’t crafty.
DIY lines like backdrops, mix-and-match signage, and lighting products are in demand.
- Opting for Flexible Timelines
Why Couples Are Doing It
Couples are having more weekday, weekend, morning, and afternoon ceremonies to save on fees and reduce planning complexity.
What It Means for Suppliers
You’ll need to adapt to off-peak delivery and pick-up windows.
Offer early setup days, overnight availability, and priority next-day delivery service.
Include calendar-based ordering or flexible rental windows in your product offering.
- Eliminating Extras
Why Couples Are Doing It
Party favors, over-the-top centerpieces, lengthy receptions, and other wedding “fluff” are being cut from streamlined modern weddings.
What It Means for Suppliers
Focus on core, high-impact products like arches, backdrops, and ambient lighting.
Trim excess low-return inventory.
Offer “essentials-only” package options to minimalist-focused planners.
The Bottom Line: Simple Weddings Aren’t Inherently Bad For Suppliers
Weddings in 2025 are simpler, but they are also more design-driven, thoughtfully curated, and focused on the couple’s personal story. In that sense, today’s weddings are anything but simple.
The products demanded by this evolving market are flexible, customizable, and designed to be functional while delivering serious visual “wow.” If your inventory is already there, you’re set to win.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Are simple weddings a new trend? How long will it last?
Simple weddings are a strong, long-term trend. While the desire for simple, low-waste, low-stress weddings predates the pandemic, the events of 2020 accelerated the shift.
Q2: What are the most in-demand products for simple weddings?
Compact floral walls, minimalist arches, soft or layered lighting, personalized signage, and multi-use products are top planner requests.
Q3: How do I market to wedding planners focused on simple weddings?
Focus on ease of set-up, reusability, and how your products help make the wedding stress-free for the couple and for the planners.
Q4: Do physical rentals still apply for digital-friendly weddings?
Yes—the decor, photography, and on-site guest experience are physical. Digital communication is only part of a wedding’s logistics and management.
Q5: Can I sell simple wedding bundles directly to planners or venues?
Yes. B2B sales to planners, venues, or other event spaces is a great way to cater to multiple simple weddings. Design your own pre-packaged “kits” or offer theme-based bundles for planner-favorite products.
