Wedding guest dresses and jumpsuits from my favorite brand! I own at least 6 of these. Lulus never disappoints! Their fabrics are luxurious and flattering, and the styles they release are never boring or plain. Even the most simplistic dress has small details that make it stand out.

In 2025, wedding themes are trending toward personalization, immersive experiences, and intentional design, reflecting the way couples want their celebrations to feel as unique as their love stories. Themes like celestial, Regency romance, and fairy-tale fantasy tap into the desire for magic and escapism, while sustainable, eco-friendly, and micro-weddings reflect conscious living and meaningful connections. On the other end of the spectrum, bold looks like maximalism, retro disco, and royal jewel tones celebrate joy, color, and extravagance after years of minimalism dominating wedding culture. Meanwhile, futuristic tech-infused weddings show how innovation is shaping modern events, and natural styles like desert boho, garden party, and tropical luxe highlight the ongoing love for outdoor, organic beauty. Altogether, these trends speak to a generation of couples who want their weddings to be deeply personal, visually striking, and memorable for both themselves and their guests

The 10th anniversary is traditionally tin/aluminium (strong, flexible, built to last) — so these ideas either use those materials or nod to the theme in a fun, modern way.

Showpo has the cutest, best quality dresses I’ve found. Although they can be pricey, they’re well worth their money with the comfortability, material, and chicness.

For couples who’d rather skip the crystal swans. Smart upgrades (think fluffy robe, sauna blanket) plus the classics you’ll actually use.
