The Breezy Brides annual destination wedding trend report is back & 2025 proved one big thing: destination weddings didn’t slow down, they leveled up.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what actually happened this year (based on real couples, real bookings, and what we’ve been seeing behind the scenes): the destinations that stayed on top, the resorts that remained consistent favorites, and the shifts that made couples plan more strategically than ever.

We’re also getting into the planning trends that mattered most in 2025 and what’s carrying into 2026.

If you’re planning a destination wedding for 2026 or 2027, this episode will give you clarity on what to prioritize, what to skip, and how to choose a resort that actually delivers.
