Korie Younger of Bliss Events shares the top wedding trends of 2025—and we share the jewelry that makes each one unforgettable.

Once upon a time, weddings were more or less scripted affairs: pastel palettes, polite centerpieces, fondant cake no one actually liked. You picked a theme, booked a DJ, and crossed your fingers that Aunt Marlene wouldn’t wear white again.
But in the summer of 2025, the rules have been tossed like rice at the chapel doors. Today’s weddings are deeply personal, wildly expressive, and brimming with intentional beauty—think checkered shoes, LED-lit floral installations, and the kind of earrings that deserve their own spotlight. Yes, it’s still a ceremony, but for modern couples, it can also be a sensory experience.
To make sense of this bold new bridal landscape, we turned to wedding planner extraordinaire Korie Younger, who graciously shared the top trends captivating couples right now. And because we believe no unforgettable moment is complete without the perfect piece of jewelry, we paired her expert insight with a little Holly Yashi sparkle.
Bold Bridal Accessories
The era of playing it safe is officially over. “Brides are embracing oversized earrings, chunky necklaces, and dramatic headpieces,” says Korie, noting a shift toward more expressive styling choices. Subtle studs and whisper-thin chains have been politely shown the door—in their place? Shoulder-grazing earrings that move when you do, sculptural headpieces that flirt with tradition, and necklaces bold enough to rival the bouquet. It’s less about matching and more about making an entrance. For that kind of confidence, the vivid niobium hues and floral artistry of the Marisol Earrings and Isla Necklace are right on cue—radiant, romantic, and unapologetically ornate.
According to Korie, “Pastels are out. Couples are leaning into bold colors like emerald green, burnt orange, and electric blue.” These aren’t accents—they’re declarations. Bold, confident palettes are transforming everything from floral arrangements to bridal party attire. Which means your jewelry has permission to play, too. The Delia Earrings and Magnolia Necklace bring that extra layer of energy to the aisle, because this season, subtlety is entirely optional.
The fashion forecast is part Gatsby, part Grace Kelly. “We’re seeing a lot of Roaring Twenties and Fifties flair,” Korie shares. “Beaded gowns, lace overlays, and timeless cuts.” These vintage silhouettes bring with them a sense of romance—of borrowed glamour, of champagne flutes and dancing until dawn. The jewelry match? Think Art Deco details, antique-inspired motifs, and anything that looks like it came from your chicest great-aunt’s jewelry box. The Noel Earrings and Victoria Necklace match the mood’s jazzy nostalgia with the brilliance of Holly Yashi’s iconic crystal touches.
“Floral arrangements are becoming larger and more creative, featuring hanging floral chandeliers and lanterns, floral arches, and massive, immersive installations that double as art pieces,” says Korie. Picture blooms cascading from the ceiling, climbing trellises, even suspended midair. To echo the garden grandeur, jewelry leans botanical—floral motifs, leafy shapes, and nature-inspired designs that reflect (and respect) the surrounding beauty. The Claire Earrings and Elena Beaded Necklace give you a wearable way to mirror the moment.
With weddings shrinking in size but growing in meaning, “Smaller weddings mean more meaningful moments,” Korie explains. These curated guest lists allow couples to focus on intentional touches: heartfelt speeches, shared meals, and yes, jewelry gifts that last far longer than the cake. Our Signature Earrings and Roman Cuff Bracelet make for a sweet and sentimental statement for the bride, and matching gifts for the maids and moms. Because even micro weddings deserve to shine.
The planet’s invited, too. “Couples are donating florals and skipping single-use plastics”, says Korie. These thoughtful, sustainable swaps are becoming the standard, not the exception. Jewelry with an ethical footprint fits right in. Holly Yashi’s commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and earth-loving materials makes each piece not just beautiful, but beautifully handmade. And if earthy vibes are as essential as the “I do’s,” the Luna Earrings and Luna Pendant Necklace bring the kind of cosmic energy that matches the mood.
Whether you’re planning a grand affair or a barefoot ceremony by the sea, the details matter. They tell your story, reflect your values, and—if you choose wisely—sparkle in every photo.
With Korie’s expert advice and our handcrafted jewelry, your wedding day can be as expressive, personal, and unforgettable as the love you're celebrating.
