This list helps me to maximize my self care while not going above my budget to have some much needed alone and self care time.

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
