Nikah Trends of 2025
Natural Backdrop Nikahs or Masjid Garden Weddings
A ceremony with a natural backdrop transports everyone to the heavens and gives any Nikah a truly paradisiacal feel. We love seeing customer photos featuring beautiful outdoor settings—it’s often more tasteful than elaborate stage setups.
For those wanting to adhere more closely to the Sunnah by getting married in a masjid, why not use the masjid garden (if it has one)? If the garden needs a little sprucing up, consider using part of your décor budget to plant rose bushes and flowers. Not only will this create a stunning setting, but it will also serve as sadaqah jariyah—a continuous charity—for everyone who enjoys the blooms long after your Nikah.
Unplugged Nikahs
Imagine this: No interruptions, no chaotic flashes, and no 1,000 people ruining the professional photographer’s shots. A phone-free Nikah allows guests to focus on witnessing the sacred moment rather than documenting it. It also keeps the atmosphere serene—no awkward ringtones during the ceremony! We predict this trend will only grow in 2025 as couples prioritize an undistracted and meaningful experience.
Drapery and Candles
Elegant fabric accents are making a big statement for 2025. From cascading backdrops to softly draped tabletops, fabric layers create cozy, romantic spaces that feel warm and inviting.
Couples are moving away from traditional wedding décor, opting instead for dramatic draping. Think flowing fabrics framing walls, hanging from ceilings, or enhancing centerpieces with a soft, romantic touch. This luxurious style is not only replacing classic pipe and drape but is also appearing in new ways, like on Nikah setups, chuppahs, and even tablescapes. The addition of candles completes the look, adding an intimate glow to any setting.
The Nikah Curtain Retires
The Nikah curtain is quietly stepping into retirement. While it once added intrigue, it’s often challenging to execute smoothly, tricky for photographers, and can feel clunky when not done right.
In 2025, more couples are choosing to save their “first look” moment for a private setting and embracing traditional seating arrangements. Long tables or open layouts allow for a more seamless flow and capture the beauty of the event without logistical hiccups.
No More Matching Everything
Gone are the days of overly coordinated weddings. From bridesmaid dresses to tablescapes, the trend now is all about texture, layers, and the perfectly imperfect. Think mixed prints, mismatched heritage ceramics, and designs that feel artful and effortless, rather than cookie-cutter.
In 2025, the most stylish Nikahs will embrace individuality—proving that sometimes, the ultimate sophistication is in the simple but thoughtful details.
More Use of Heirloom Items
Many of us are fortunate to have clothing, textiles, or jewelry passed down from grandparents and beyond. Not only is the quality often unmatched, but incorporating these heirlooms adds meaning and depth to your Nikah.
We love seeing brides wearing their mothers’ wedding dresses or grooms draping themselves with their grandfathers’ shawls. Even in décor, a family textile or rug can elevate the setting, weaving history and sentimentality into the celebration. These touches make your Nikah story all the more unique and timeless.
