Bold, Layered, and Unapologetically You
Rebecca Meiser
Weddings in 2025 and 2026 are all about making a statement. From rooms washed in dramatic red light to glowing, flower-drenched tablescapes, couples are embracing high impact celebration.
We’re in the era of bold, layered storytelling. “Minimialism, muted and monochromatic all had moments in the recent past,” Jessa Hochman, Marketing and Business Development Manager at Event Source in Valley View, said, “but in 2025 and 2026, we’re embracing bold and unexpected drama.” Think velvet runners, floral ceilings, mismatched taper candles, mixed metals, and richly patterned linens – all working together to create mood-rich spaces that feel like art installations.
Maximalism is the new romance. It’s not about perfection – it’s about personality. And for today’s couples, that means more is more.
