¡Hola, Wedding Season! 2025 Trends Costa Couples Can’t Miss
(and why you’ll want to lock in your 2026 date today)
The season is officially ON ☀️
May in the Med means the perfume of orange blossom, long golden evenings and “I do’s” echoing along the coast. 2025 couples are arriving with fresh ideas and big feelings, and we love it. Below is your go‑to guide to what’s trending right now—and how Costa Event will weave it into your dream wedding in Marbella.
1. Intimate guest lists, expansive weekends
The average head‑count is slipping back under 120, freeing budgets for multi‑day experiences—think pool‑side paella parties on Thursday and a catamaran sunset cruise on Sunday. Fewer guests, deeper connection.
2. Garden‑party palettes & earth tones
Nature‑inspired hues—sage, terracotta, mocha—are dominating colour boards and pop beautifully against the Costa del Sol’s turquoise sea and white‑washed villas.
3. Floor‑to‑ceiling décor & dramatic drapery
From fabric‑swathed pergolas to hanging citrus installations, design is all about vertical impact. Drapery softens modern venues and nods to Andalusian romance, while coloured uplighting turns late‑night dancing into a club‑meets‑palacio vibe.
4. Food first: from zero‑proof to 360‑degree bars
Couples are ditching plated mains for chef‑manned tapas stations—jamón carving, live paella, mini‑lobster rolls—and ensuring no one queues with wrap‑around cocktail bars. Sophisticated alcohol‑free pairings keep every guest happy.
5. Content‑creator packages
A new vendor category is exploding: the wedding content creator who shoots vertical behind‑the‑scenes video for TikTok and Reels while your photographer focuses on timeless portraits. Our in‑house content creator delivers your highlights within 24 hours – perfect for next‑day shares.
6. Wellness & sustainability
Think sunrise sessions in the sand, guided breathwork circles, and indulgent spa mornings to ground nerves before the big sí, quiero. Conscious celebrations resonate with guests, and reduced‑plastic policies to keep those Mediterranean breezes pristine.
