Weddings are constantly evolving, and the past year has brought some truly beautiful, thoughtful trends to the forefront. As a tableware and furniture hire company, we’ve had a front-row seat to the styles couples embraced throughout 2025 — and we’re already seeing those ideas grow, shift, and evolve as we look ahead to 2026.
From sustainability and statement tables to immersive guest experiences, here’s a look at the wedding trends we loved in 2025 and what we’re excited to see more of in 2026.
Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Celebrations
Loved in 2025 — Here to Stay in 2026
Sustainability wasn’t just a buzzword in 2025 — it became a priority for many couples. Reusable tableware, linen napkins, rented furniture, and thoughtful décor choices helped reduce waste without sacrificing style.
In 2026, we expect this to go even further, with couples becoming more intentional about every element of their day — from hiring rather than buying, to choosing timeless pieces that can be reused across multi-day celebrations.
How we help: Hiring crockery, cutlery, glassware, linens, tables, and chairs allows couples to create a beautiful celebration while keeping their environmental footprint low.
Bold & Personal Table Settings
A 2025 Favourite — Turning Up the Volume in 2026
In 2025, couples moved away from uniform place settings and embraced personality at the table — mixing colours, textures, and styles to create something truly their own.
Looking ahead to 2026, this trend is becoming bolder and richer. Soft neutrals are giving way to deeper tones like emerald, terracotta, and jewel colours, paired with elegant glassware, statement napkins, and layered linens.
How we help: Our wide range of tableware and linen makes it easy to mix and match, whether you’re leaning minimalist, eclectic, or full-on dramatic.
Statement Tablescapes
Big in 2025 — Elevated for 2026
Tables became a true design feature in 2025, with couples treating them as a creative canvas rather than just a practical necessity. Layered textures, mixed materials, and eye-catching centrepieces stole the show.
In 2026, we’re seeing even more confidence — combining rustic wooden tables with sleek cutlery, contemporary glassware with vintage-inspired crockery, and styling each table as part of the overall story.
How we help: From elegant crockery to statement tables and refined cutlery, our hire pieces are designed to work together seamlessly for a polished, high-impact look.
Intimate & Micro Weddings
Loved in 2025 — Evolving into Multi-Day Celebrations in 2026
Smaller, more intimate weddings continued to shine throughout 2025, allowing couples to focus on meaningful details and elevated guest experiences.
In 2026, many of these celebrations are stretching beyond a single day — turning into relaxed, multi-day events with welcome dinners, brunches, and post-wedding gatherings. Flexible furniture and tableware hire makes it easy to adapt each part of the celebration without excess clutter or cost.
How we help: Hiring different table styles, seating, and serving equipment means each moment can feel distinct, while staying cohesive.
Interactive & Experiential Dining
A Standout Trend in 2025 — Going Bigger in 2026
Interactive food stations, grazing tables, cocktail bars, and chef-led experiences were a huge hit in 2025, doubling as both dining and décor.
For 2026, this trend is becoming more immersive and design-led, with couples focusing on how food looks, flows, and fits into the overall aesthetic.
How we help: From serving platters and utensils to stylish glassware and barware, we ensure food and drink setups look as good as they taste.
Minimalism with a Luxurious Twist
Loved in 2025 — Refined in 2026
Neutral palettes, natural materials, and clean lines were a defining look in 2025. In 2026, minimalism is evolving into luxe minimalism — where every detail is carefully chosen and nothing feels accidental.
Subtle linen textures, elegant glassware, and beautifully balanced tablescapes prove that simple doesn’t have to mean plain.
How we help: Our timeless tableware, linens, and furniture allow the details to shine while keeping everything effortlessly cohesive.
