Wedding season is here, so I asked the wedding experts at Terralogical to spill the latest wedding trends they've spotted in Bali this year.
Bali has always stood out when it comes to destination weddings. It’s brimming with magazine-worthy wedding venues and private wedding villas, and when it comes to the setting, you can choose from a beach, jungle, clifftop or even a mountain backdrop. So, to get the lowdown on what’s new and next in wedding trends for 2025, I reached out to Terralogical, AKA Bali’s on-the-ground experts in the wedding industry.
With over a decade of experience in capturing the most magical moments at weddings in Bali, Jakarta, and beyond, these guys have got the inside scoop. Get your bridal notepads ready – these are the top wedding trends for 2025 that you’ll want for your own Bali wedding.
Bali Wedding Trends for 2025
1. Weddings in lesser-known areas of Bali
“There’s something truly magical about saying your vows in a not-so-typical location. In 2025, we’re noticing a growing trend towards authentic and lesser-known places around Bali that are meaningful to couples. Think weddings on the breezy beaches of Nusa Lembongan, the rolling hills of Sidemen, or the quaint coastal towns of Amed.
For couples looking for authenticity and a greater feeling of connection to Bali, these off-the-beaten-path locations provide an opportunity to incorporate their wedding celebration with true island charm. It’s not just about having gorgeous photos for Instagram (though those are definitely a bonus!), it’s about having a story that’s uniquely yours, in a place that feels like home.”
2. Intimate celebrations in Ubud’s rainforests
“With its lush rice fields and serene atmosphere, Ubud has been a paradise for Bali weddings for couples who desire tranquillity on their special day. But beyond the rice fields and Balinese temples? Misty jungles with towering trees!
Picture this: exchanging your vows as the sounds of the forest whisper around you, and the gentle, golden light shining through the canopy of trees above. It’s a backdrop that’s mystical for couples who want a more intimate wedding celebration.”
3. Interactive experiences for your guests
“In 2025, Bali weddings are all about creating experiences that make your guests feel like they’re part of the wedding party. Think fun games, DIY cocktail bars and wedding cakes where everyone can get a bit messy and crafty!
Live-art artwork, photo booth engagement, and sweetheart letter-writing tables are all getting the revival touch as well, so guests will be able to leave their own unique stamp on your event. It’s a matter of giving them fun, as well as a connection to the happy couple!”
4. Bold neutrals for your colour theme
“We’re seeing a growing number of couples wanting rich, luscious colours that make an impact for their weddings. Look to rich berry tones, indulgent emerald greens, and dramatic blues – colours that convey luxury, depth, and romance. Say goodbye to classic pastel tones, and hello to bold, modern colour palettes with sustainable decoration. Whether you prefer a moody atmosphere or bright, eye-catching looks, one thing’s for sure: this year’s wedding decoration is all about creating a statement.”
5. Personalised touches for your guests
“It’s the little things that speak volumes, isn’t it? When you’re a guest at a wedding, you can so easily blend in with any other face in the crowd. But what if you were to feel truly seen and appreciated? That’s where the art of guest care comes in: a generous, authentic approach to making your loved ones feel like royalty. We’re talking hand-written thank you notes from the happy couple, or thoughtful welcome gifts, specially prepared for your guests. These thoughtful gestures make a wedding more than just a party, and transform it into an intimate, memorable occasion.”
6. Film photography
“Raw, real, candid moments captured by analogue photography. There is something beautiful about film photography – the way it captures life’s fleeting moments with a warm, ethereal light. When you look at film photographs, you don’t just see a snapshot, it’s the texture of the moment and the breath of the past. It’s like an invitation to slow down.
Having a wedding documented using film photography is a powerful reminder that the most lasting moments are the ones we don’t see coming: the laughter, the tears, the “I love you’s” that slide within a second when nobody notices.”
