As we ring in the new year with all our newly engaged, future brides of 2026, we’d be remiss if we didn’t give a little extra love to all of our favorite couples and weddings from 2025. And when it comes to Instagram features, well, we have more than just a few to pull from; consider us your go-to for all kinds of Utah wedding inspo!

Here are our top ten Instagram features from last year! From the views and likes on weddings, engagements, and beautiful details, to the comments popping off for our favorite “I do” moments, it’s easy to see why a bride’s screen time is slightly higher than the average person’s. 

But that’s the fun of it, right? Where else do you get all of your best Utah wedding inspo these days? More petals, gowns, and diamonds on our feeds, please!

Ten: Just Married Gelato

Save

Is it her dress, with those incredible sleeves and jaw-dropping drop waist, that got this post all the love? One thing is for certain: Ali and McKay know a thing or two about utilizing the deliciousness of a sweet treat to make a wedding into a real party. This photo proves it, just look at their faces! And the rest of the carousel has us daydreaming about haute couture florals to match our chic glam gown.

Nine: Sophie’s Cover Girl Moment

Save

Have you seen this one a few times around here? There’s a good reason for that; clearly, this wedding is a favorite of ours, being a feature in our 2025 print magazine and being the cover photo, this bridal portrait from Sophie and Coulson’s wedding might very well be the most designer photo we’ve ever seen from a Utah wedding. And that’s just the cover photo; if you haven’t already, you simply must see the rest of their wedding details. From custom matching bridesmaids’ gowns to the most amazing mountain backdrop, and a floral-decked getaway golf cart, you’ll find yourself saving every photo to your ‘Wedding Inspo’ folder on Instagram.

Eight: Citrus Ceremony

Save

Just the photo of beautiful bride Morgan on Walker Farms’ grand staircase, surrounded by the most gorgeous bright orange florals, is enough for us to understand why this wedding was a big favorite on Instagram last year. But then add in the citrus decor details and the incredible color palette? It’s game over for anything else. It’s a dreamsicle come true for any bride looking for a vibrant summer wedding. Oh, and if you want more of this gallery, check out this article about choosing a season to get married in!

Seven: Movie Moment

Save

Alice and Eric’s sparkling celebration was featured in our 2025 magazine glossy pages, and it’s not just her custom dress that’s glittering magically. Their smiles and happy tears during their ceremony and private vows before their LDS temple sealing make our eyes water, too. And this photo looks like it came straight from the best romance movie you’ve ever seen. But that’s not all; did you know that Alice walked down the aisle to a love song from Twilight? It really adds to the “sparkling” aspect of it all. Read their whole article here!

Six: Salt Flats Engagements

Save

Tessa and Zac figured out our little secret… We’ll never not be obsessed with any gallery from the Bonneville Salt Flats. And clearly we’re not the only ones. This post not only popped off, but it looks like Tessa stepped right out of our dream wedding Pinterest board. We’d like to thank Azazie personally for that white dress, but just wait until you see her green one. Here’s your sign to save this post for your engagements that are coming up!

Five: Bows On Bows

Save

Madi jumped easily into our top five with her thousands of bows for her and Landon’s wedding day. Another one of our 2025 magazine features, every detail was literally tied together perfectly. And her dress is no exception; from the detachable bows on the sleeves to the cutest trail of them going all the way down her train, we can see why Madi fell in love with this gown after trying on hundreds of other ones before this one.

Four: Something Blue

Save

This carousel has it all: blue heels, a lace bow in the back, and a bride with a smile like no other. We can’t decide what everyone loves more, the bridesmaids’ dresses inspo or the kiss dip photo. Oh, and did you see the bubbles exit at the end? Every single photo is so Pinterest-worthy for all kinds of Utah wedding inspo. 

Three: Satin Silhouette

Save

Is it the elegance of Kennedi’s satin wedding dress with long sleeves, or is it the way her groom James looks at her? Either way, this wedding was simply perfect; it’s easy to see how this post made the top three last year. Proof that a cool March wedding in Utah is the perfect time of year to celebrate.

Two: Dreamy Details

Save

This photo belongs on every single bride’s inspo boards, no matter what kind of bride you are. Her lace sleeves? That lozenge diamond ring? This is the Instagram post of 2025; every swipe is the perfect epitome of all the best trends of last year. If you gasped at the sight of it, join the club. Feel free to just screenshot it and send it to your photographer right away.

UVB’s Top Instagram Post of 2025: Two is Better Than One

Save

This Instagram post from last year beat out every other post by more than just a little bit. The best part? This bride had two wedding dresses: one for her LDS temple ceremony and one for her reception. They’re not just chic, they’re downright perfect. These dresses caused quite the stir in the comments, but what’s most obvious is how stunning this bride, Ashlyn, looked on her wedding day. If you’re looking for an excuse to say yes to more than one dress, Ashlyn says it’s perfectly fine, and we say it’s perfectly amazing! 

Bonus: Editor’s Pick

Save

Remember how we said we had a slight obsession with galleries from the Salt Flats in 2025? Well can you blame us when they look like this? Speaking as the editor (hey it’s me, Sydnie), every time I scroll past this post, I have to stop and admire it again. Her dress? The lace? The veil? I’m even obsessed with the cowboy hat. Not to mention the magic of the way Kimberly Crook Photography captured these moments. And the best part is that this was an elopement, featured on our blog last year. Read their article here!
