Top 2025 Wedding Trends: What’s Pouring Next

April 25, 2025

If you're planning a wedding in 2025, spoiler alert: we are moving past your average open bar. This is the year couples go all-in on personal and unforgettable beverage moments.

At Liquid Caterers, we’ve had the privilege of helping couples reimagine how their drinks are served and savored. From bold palettes to booze-free bevys, here are the trends defining the next wave of weddings:

1. Aperitif-Style Welcome Moments

It’s time to let the celebration start the moment guests arrive. Couples are skipping the "wait 'til cocktail hour" tradition in favor of custom spritzes, sparkling mocktails, or mini signature cocktails served from roaming carts, tap walls, or charming service trays.

2. Non-Alcoholic Spirits & Mocktail Magic

Booze-free doesn’t mean boring. In 2025, spirit-free cocktails are front and center with thoughtful builds, elevated garnishes, and just as much flair as their boozy counterparts. Whether it's non-alcoholic, zero-proof replacements or dabbling in nootropics, guests are sipping with intention.

Your guests deserve options that feel fun, festive, and inclusive—without sacrificing sophistication.

3. Bar-as-Experience: Coffee, Smoke, & Surprise

Forget the basic bar. 2025 is about drink experiences. Picture this:

  • An espresso bar pulling fresh shots during golden hour
  • Live custom image printing on your favorite foam topped beverage
  • A cocktail misted with edible florals
  • The sweet and smokey aroma of freshly branded citrus peels for the ever popular old fashioned

It’s about stimulating every sense!

4. Sustainable, Seasonal Sips

Today’s couples care about environmental impact, and their menus and essentials reflect it. Expect completely edible garnishes, seasonal mixers, and curated ingredients from local vendors. Products trend towards those that are recyclable, reusable and biodegradable.  Mindful doesn’t have to mean drab—it can be downright stunning.

5. Smaller Guest Lists, Bolder Details

With more couples choosing intimate guest counts, the focus has shifted to high-touch experiences: custom drink menus, mixology moments, branded bar details, and storytelling in every glass.
