Fall 2025 Wedding Trends

September 15, 2022

There’s something about a fall wedding that feels oh-so magical; the crispness in the air, the warm golden light, and the cozy-yet-elevated atmosphere that only autumn can deliver! Here at Updos For I Dos, we’ve got a front-row seat to enjoy all of the beauty trends and wedding-day details that brides are embracing, and we’re absolutely swooning over what’s in store for Fall 2025 weddings. From glowing skin to sculptural décor, here are the trends you’ll be seeing everywhere this fall!

Earthy and Jewel Tones

Fall has always been known for its warm, moody colors, but in 2025, couples are dialing it up a notch with earthy and jewel-inspired tones! Picture mocha-espresso bridesmaid dresses, deep emerald linens, ruby red florals, and terracotta accents woven into décor.

Not only do these shades feel perfectly seasonal, but they also photograph beautifully against autumn backdrops of falling leaves and golden sunsets!

Luminous Skin & Natural Radiance

When it comes to bridal makeup trends for Fall 2025, luminous skin is at the very top! Brides are moving away from heavy contouring in favor of soft, glowing complexions. Think dewy skin, subtle highlight, and just enough bronzer to add natural warmth.

The best part about this trend? It lets you look like yourself, just elevated. At Updos For I Dos, we focus on creating makeup that lasts from your walk down the aisle to your final dance, while still feeling fresh and comfortable in person. It’s bridal beauty that works both in real life and on camera, giving you that radiant, lit-from-within glow all day long! 

Hairstyles Brides Are Loving This Fall

Hairstyles are taking two distinct directions this fall: undone texture and ultra-sleek chic.

Brides who gravitate towards a romantic, effortless vibe are opting for:

The Pamela Anderson-inspired mid-high bun (flirty and perfectly imperfect!)
Soft, beachy waves with just the right amount of movement
Textured low buns with face-framing pieces for dimension

On the opposite end of the spectrum, other brides are going all-in on sleek, modern elegance. A low, polished bun or smooth ponytail pairs beautifully with minimalist gowns or bold and structured accessories! The bottom line: whether you’re team textured or team sleek, both directions are trending hard this fall.

Artful & Unique Wedding Décor

Décor is no longer just about being pretty, it’s about making a statement. For Fall 2025, we’re seeing couples bring in artful, one-of-a-kind touches that truly transform their venues into immersive experiences!

Think sculptural floral installations hanging from the ceiling, moody candlelit tablescapes, bold patterned linens, and seating areas that feel like stylish lounges. Décor is becoming a true extension of the couple’s personality, and it really makes every wedding feel completely unique and unforgettable.

And as beauty professionals, we love how the right hair and makeup can tie seamlessly into these designs, whether that’s a sleek bun to compliment modern minimalism or soft, textured waves to match a romantic, whimsical setting! 

Stay True to You

While trends are always fun to follow (and we love seeing them come to life!), the most important thing is staying true to yourself, especially when it comes to your wedding day beauty choices. Your bridal look should feel like an elevated version of you, not something that makes you feel like a stranger in your own skin!

Our advice? Don’t stray too far outside of your comfort zone. Choose hair and makeup looks that make you feel confident, comfortable, and authentically yourself. After all, when you look back at your photos years from now, you’ll want to recognize the beautiful, glowing bride staring back at you!
