Pinterest just dropped its 2025 Wedding Trends Report, and one thing’s clear: couples are skipping the ballroom and booking their boarding passes.

This year’s top weddings? They’re less church pews and more passport stamps. Bold colors, personal twists and built-in honeymoons are defining the aisle moment. From jungle-chic ceremonies to barefoot beach parties, here’s where Pinterest users are planning to say “I do” — preferably under a palm tree.  

Bali is blowing up. Searches for wedding venues in the Indonesian paradise are up 131%, thanks to those jaw-dropping cliffs, jungle backdrops and villas that look ripped from a honeymoon fantasy. Consider it the dreamiest plus-one.  

Eco-luxe is the move. Costa Rica wedding venue searches jumped 99%, with couples eyeing everything from cloud forests to secluded surf towns. Bonus: Sloths may crash your ceremony.

Color, culture, coastal glam — Goa’s got it all. Interest in destination weddings here rose 58%, and it’s easy to see why: think firelit beach parties, floral mandaps and sunset-soaked receptions.

Mexico and Hawaii aren’t new to the party — but they’re still getting invites. Searches for Mexico destination wedding dresses are up 86%, while Hawaiian wedding guest dresses climbed 39%. And tropical guest outfit inspo overall? Spiked 110%. Translation: Everyone’s dressing like the main event.

Drama? Delivered. Searches for Brazil wedding guest dresses surged 221%, with bold color, volume and flair front and center. Whether you're on the guest list or not, it’s clear the fashion bar is set sky-high.   

TL;DR: Destination weddings aren’t just popular — they’re the blueprint. So if you’re hearing wedding bells… you might want to start collecting frequent flyer miles.  

Here's what to pack to bring the heat — no matter the time zone.
