2025 Event Planning Trends: What’s In, What’s Out, And What’s Next

At Da Ves Collective, we believe an event should tell a story—yours.

Whether it’s a wedding, milestone celebration, or immersive corporate experience, our goal is to create

intentional moments that feel personal, elevated, and unforgettable. And as we navigate 2025, the world of event planning is bursting with creativity and meaningful shifts.

Here are the top trends we’re seeing —and loving—this year:


Elevated Intimacy: Small Guest Lists, Big Experiences

The guest list may be shorter, but the impact is bigger than ever. Clients are prioritizing quality over quantity, creating space for meaningful

connections and thoughtful details. We’re seeing micro-weddings, private dinners, and exclusive retreats that feel curated and deeply personal.

Da Ves Insight: We love designing intimate layouts that bring guests closer—physically and emotionally—whether it’s through circular seating for ceremonies or cozy lounge vignettes for conversation.


Immersive Design & Sensory Storytelling

2025 is the year of experiences. At Da Ves Collective, we’re leaning into events that engage all the senses—lush florals you can smell the moment you arrive, velvet linens you can’t help but touch, candlelight that dances off crystal glassware.

Trend Spotlight: Multi-sensory installations, ambient music tailored to each phase of the event, and mood lighting that shifts from ceremony to celebration.


SUSTAINABLE SOPHISTICATION

Eco-consciousness is more than a trend—it’s a value we share with many of our clients. Sustainability now walks hand-in-hand with luxury, and we’re proud to work with vendors who share our commitment to creating beauty responsibly.

At Da Ves: We source locally, minimize waste, and design with intention—from reusable floral structures to zero-waste bar service options.


Multi-Day Moments

One-day events? Think again. Whether it’s a destination wedding or a leadership retreat, clients want to stretch the celebration. Multi-day experiences give guests time to connect, explore, and relax.

Da Ves Favorites: Welcome beach bonfires, sunrise yoga, farewell brunches, and curated local excursions—we plan it all, seamlessly.

Tech Tastefully Integrated

We’re embracing technology—but only where it enhances the experience. Think modern conveniences without disrupting the vibe.

What We’re Using: Digital RSVP systems, guest chat portals, seamless check-in apps, and drone footage that captures the magic from above.


Bold Color Stories & Maximalism with Meaning

Color is making a comeback—and we’re here for it. From vibrant jewel tones to dreamy pastels, couples and hosts are embracing bold palettes and rich textures to tell their stories in unforgettable ways.

Pro Styling Tip: Layered linens, statement florals, and curated tabletop design are key to bringing maximalism to life with elegance


Wellness Focused Events

Self-care is finally getting the spotlight it deserves in event design. Guests want to feel good—and we’re building that into every detail.

Our Approach: Chill-out lounges, wellness activations, infused water stations, and comfort-forward design that keeps guests relaxed from start to finish.
