Interview with Ibiza Spotlight
What exactly is a wedding trend and how does it develop?
“A trend usually begins when someone does something a little different and others start to follow. Over time, that idea gains momentum and becomes widely recognised. This happens across every creative industry – interiors, fashion, hair, art – and Ibiza weddings are no exception.
Wedding style often mirrors what we see on the runways & on the high street. Over the last two years, fashion has embraced rich tones such as browns, mochas, deep reds, wines and plums. Unsurprisingly, these palettes have begun to appear more frequently within the Ibiza wedding scene, adding warmth and depth to event design.
Now we’re starting to see a shift again. Fringe, layered textures and a “more is more” attitude are replacing the pared-back minimalism of the recent “clean girl” era. Naturally, this will filter into weddings. Expect immersive styling: abundant florals, bold colour combinations, dramatic textures and statement lighting installations. The look is less polished perfection and more expressive, whimsical and layered.
For bridal fashion, this opens the door to individuality. Corseted silhouettes, layered skirts, oversized veils and sculptural headpieces are appearing more often as brides look to express their own sense of style rather than follow a traditional formula. Personally, I love pearl headpieces with a subtle nod to the 1920s Gatsby era, elegant hats, oversized florals woven through the hair, and pieces we haven’t yet seen widely across Ibiza weddings.”
Are you seeing a trend shift between Ibiza wedding venues and wedding villas?
“Both styles are very popular, but they each come with their own considerations.
Ibiza villa weddings can be incredibly special, although they do require careful planning. As an Ibiza wedding planner, we must ensure the property is properly licensed, that neighbours are not disturbed, and that there is a suitable soundproof space for the evening celebration. Practical elements such as power supply, lighting, shade and weather cover also need to be thoughtfully managed.
That said, villa weddings can be perfect for smaller, more intimate celebrations. They often allow greater flexibility, particularly because couples are not always tied to strict minimum spends or set price-per-guest structures. There is also the luxury of time: family gatherings the day before, relaxed poolside lunches, or post-wedding dinners can all become part of the experience. Styling and atmosphere can also be more personalised.
Ibiza venue weddings, on the other hand, tend to offer a more structured environment. Many logistical elements – power, lighting, infrastructure and maintenance – are already taken care of behind the scenes, and some venues also have dedicated soundproof party areas. However, there will usually be venue hire fees and minimum spends to consider. Certain venues may also have guidelines around timing, menus or styling.
From our perspective, both approaches work beautifully. Every Ibiza wedding is different, and the right setting depends entirely on the couple and the atmosphere they want to create. Fortunately, Ibiza offers an incredible variety of spaces, meaning there is always something that feels just right.”
What can we expect from Hidden Treasures Ibiza this summer?
“Design-wise, texture and tonal layering will be a major focus for us this season. Draping continues to be a key element and we’re experimenting with it in new ways, alongside richer colours and striking focal pieces. Lace, soft structures and sculptural fabric installations are all making an appearance.
For us, it’s essential to collaborate with creatives rather than rely purely on rental pieces. Our sister company, Boa Designs Ibiza, develops all of our wedding styling concepts, and we spend much of the year designing, sourcing, sewing and experimenting with new ideas to keep each Ibiza wedding fresh and distinctive.
Couples planning for 2026 are increasingly looking for originality. They’re no longer interested in a timeline or aesthetic that feels familiar or overly curated on Pinterest. Instead, they want something memorable: Jaw dropping visuals, extraordinary gastronomy and cocktails that feel like miniature works of art.
Personally, I would love to see more unconventional timelines. Imagine beginning the celebration with a long lunch, followed by a late-afternoon ceremony as the light softens. There are so many creative possibilities, and finally we’re working with a generation of couples who are open to exploring them.”
Are you excited for Ibiza summer 2026?
“More than ever.
This year we’re launching something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Now that the right team is in place, it finally feels like the perfect moment.
We’re creating an Ibiza wedding podcast that lifts the curtain on the industry – full of behind-the-scenes stories, unexpected moments and plenty of laughter. The first series is currently being filmed, and we’re hoping to launch on Spotify and YouTube early this summer.
It’s an exciting project not only for us, but for the wider Ibiza wedding community. Today’s couples are looking for something more engaging, more honest and more human, and this podcast is a chance to share that side of the industry.
Guests will include local suppliers with incredible experiences to share, along with past, present and future brides and grooms. From engagement stories that didn’t quite go to plan to unforgettable Ibiza celebrations, there will be plenty to talk about.
We’d love readers to join the conversation over on Instagram at Hot Mess Cold Feet, where the stories continue.”
