The hottest wedding album trends for 2025
How to create a stunning keepsake of your wedding
When it comes to your wedding photos, how you display them matters just as much as the memories they capture. Wedding albums these day have evolved far beyond those old bulky traditional styles. Digital photography has allowed for much more versatility within wedding album design so that we can focus more on both visual style and storytelling.
As a wedding album designer with over 10 years’ experience, I believe the big trend in 2025 will be couples creating albums that feel more personal, modern, and sleek. So, if you’ve been wondering which is the best wedding album style for your day, or you’re simply looking for beautiful wedding album ideas, you’re in exactly the right place!
In this post, I’m sharing the top wedding album design trends for this year to help you create a keepsake that’s as unique as your wedding story.
The Top Wedding Album Design Trends for 2025
Wedding Album ideas to create your wedding story
Ready to find inspiration for a wedding album that’s as beautiful, modern, and personal as your day? Here are the top trends in wedding album design for 2025 and how to incorporate them into an album that matches the essence of your wedding and showcases your own style.
1. Luxury Wedding Albums with Traditional Elegance and a Natural Feel
Over the last year or so, couples have embraced custom wedding albums that convey a timeless and elegant feel and this trend shows no signs of slowing down in 2025.
Linen, Buckram and Leather cover materials, in neutral shades of white, ivory, grey, or black, create an eloquent and classic style that complements most wedding themes.
Minimalist finishing touches such subtle text embossing, laser engraving and the slightly more sumptuous gold or silver foiling are proving popular. They enhance that elegant tone of the album cover without being overbearing.
At the same time, I’ve noticed a growing shift towards more earthy style wedding albums inspired by the beauty of natural materials. Rustic Wood Covers,Tuscany Leather in natural tones and wooden boxes are becoming increasingly popular.
Whilst this style of wedding album is the perfect fit for outdoor weddings or wedding locations surrounded by natural beauty, couples who married across all styles of venue and theme are opting for this unique and beautiful natured-inspired look.
2.Contemporary, Clean Wedding Album Layout Designs
When I first started designing wedding albums, couples were opting for a bold, striking wedding album layout with their wedding photos filling the page, often complemented by smaller overlapping images. I call this my “Flaunty” design style.
However, more recently there has been a shift towards a more clean and understated wedding album design focusing less on elaborate design elements and more on simplicity. In this layout style, the white space of the background is used to frame the photos, creating a clean, elegant format. This classic “Fresh” wedding album design can be applied throughout the album or paired with occasional full-page background images that seamlessly blend into the white space. This offers a more contemporary twist; a look showcased in my “Stylish” design style.
While this layout trend is simple and classic, it’s not just about the aesthetic of the photos on the page. The wedding photos are carefully curated to flow throughout the album as a visual narrative, telling the story of your wedding day. This clean layout design ensures that the focus remains on the images themselves, without any distracting design elements getting in the way.

3.The Rise of Magazine Style Wedding Books
What I’ve found in the last few years is that couples have increasingly wanted more than just photos in their wedding albums. Initially this was the inclusion of a short reading, special poem, or first dance lyrics to complement the photos. But with modern couples ever more focused on the finer details of their wedding day, there’s even more of a desire to capture even the smallest elements – those that a camera just can’t capture – in a tangible format so they can remember those details forever.
Alongside this trend, there’s also been a growing demand for a more contemporary style of wedding photo book. Couples are seeking a sleek, lightweight alternative to a traditional wedding album; something they can stylishly display on a coffee table or showcase on a shelf that is easily accessible rather than hidden away in a cupboard.
A perfect solution to this growing preference is my Wedding Storybook. This design-led, magazine-style layout includes not just beautiful wedding photos but also written details such as vows, readings, song lyrics, what the couple wore, and even the wedding breakfast menu. It’s a contemporary, comprehensive, and chic memoir of your wedding day, blending photography and written elements in a visually stunning format.
