Flower advice

BACK TO ALL POSTS

As a wedding florist, it’s so exciting to see how much more innovative and artistic the craft is becoming each year. I’ve always been driven by and drawn to bold, modern designs that put your colour palette firmly on display and amplify all that’s gorgeous about your wedding venue, and my couples tend to be style-conscious, detail-driven, out-of-the-box thinkers – which is why I’ve curated this list of 2026 wedding floral trends.

Let the creativity start sparking and get inspired by what’s possible, not what you think you should be doing.

 

8 2026 Wedding Floral Trends You’ll Fall in Love With

 

Mossy Mounds

Moss is a seemingly modest ingredient in your floral recipe, but its appearance in the high fashion and editorial spaces is showing its influence in the wedding world. I had the pleasure of flowering for Limekiln’s recent couples event, using mossy structures as the basis for the design to introduce natural grounding, layered aesthetics and organic, tonal depth.

The gorgeous mossy green shades were paired with cream narcissi, nude Icelandic poppies, white tulips and soft clouds of mauve hellebores, along with blackberry scabiosa and pale allium, creating a design-led experience from entrance to altar and beyond.

This quietly confident, sculptural design concept began in the Alder Room with a ceremony design including asymmetrical mossy mound aisle arrangements, textured clusters that built in drama as they led the eye towards the altar. A large-scale installation rooted in natural architecture framed the ceremony spot.

Further into the venue, inside Poplar Hall, florals were designed with modern abundance with each of the four tables styled differently – height, form, negative space and of course that gorgeous colour palette shining through.

If you’re a couple who values intentional design and floral storytelling with a fresh, sculptural edge, the mossy mounds trend is probably perfect for your wedding.

I’d also love to hear from you if you’re considering a wedding at Limekiln – I’m one of their preferred suppliers and have several gorgeous briefs there throughout 2025 and 2026, and I’d love to add your name to my exclusive little list!

 

Pink, Green & White

When considered in isolation or paired together, pink, green and white shades appear to be classic wedding colours – but remember there is huge variety in the different tones available and, when all three are used artistically together, it’s possible to create a design that is strikingly bold and aesthetically unique. Pink, green and white can combine to make something feminine and pretty, modern and zingy, or even deep and dramatic depending on the types of blooms and specific shades used. 

If you’re interested in a wedding floral design in pink, green and white, give some thought to how you can express your vision to your florist. I explored this in an Instagram post, which is a great place to start with identifying whether you’re looking for fern or grapefruit, mauve or hunter.

Would you believe me if I told you pink and green can be the perfect colour palette for a winter wedding? Take a look at my recent blog exploring how to reimagine this classic for the cooler months.

Cherry Red

Cherry red is, as they would say over in Bridgerton, the diamond of the season – and I’m here for it. Red exudes boldness which is a core Bloominati trait, and it’s a fabulously fun colour to play with in various different shades and palettes. Pin it to your inspiration board by diving into my board featuring florals from English’s of Brighton that deliver on drama and cool girl quirk. 

Cherry red wedding flowers can be soft and feminine, modern and edgy, or somewhere in between – take a look at this design at Northbrook Park which blends sumptuous abundance with the striking impact of single stems.

 

Single Stems

Speaking of those chic single stems, one of 2026’s wedding floral trends is almost definitely going to be solo blooms. When used en masse they are visually stunning, reminiscent of the luscious flower fields of Holland, and thoughtfully selecting the perfect colours can create a range of beautiful effects – ombre, colour block, curated clusters…

Bouquets are also becoming more minimal, and using a bunch of single stems is a modern, editorial option that more and more brides are embracing. When crafting a bouquet from, say, individual rose flowers, only the best blooms will be selected and prepared – after all, they’re going to get a lot of attention throughout your wedding day.

One of my favourite moments as your wedding florist is coming to deliver your bouquet to you, and I’ll always chat to your photographer and hair and makeup team to ensure I time it just right – no distractions from what you’re doing, just space and time to take it all in and get to know every flower that’ll walk down that aisle with you.

 

Intentional Design for your Venue

One of the things that is most important to me as your wedding floral designer, and something I hope will come to the forefront of 2026 floral trends, is curating your design with deep consideration and sympathy for your venue.

In fact, one of my couples told me this is exactly why they chose me “We love that you would consider the architecture and aesthetic of your venue to provide us with ideas – [our venue] has quite a unique aesthetic and we really want our flowers to complement it!”. 

Your wedding venue is at the core of your design, and should be one of the biggest influences for its basis. I would never tell you that a certain style, colour or variety of flower can’t or shouldn’t be used at a specific venue, but it is key to my process to ensure they enhance one another – the wrong design can jar against the architecture or style of a venue, or get lost among its features.

Every venue has its own distinct personality and specific elements that made you choose it, and I see it as my job to make them shine even brighter by adding nature’s very own precious gems in an artistic, thoughtful way.

Ceremony Flower Portraits

 

Every Bloominati couple gets a unique opportunity added into their timeline by me, one which I advocate for and arrange with your wedding planner and/or photographer because I know how magical it can be – ceremony room flower portraits. Walking down the aisle and having your ceremony is one of the most wonderful, surreal moments of your wedding day, but I know from personal experience it can also feel like a blur afterwards.

This means you probably didn’t get a chance to take in the floral design that played backdrop to your vows, something I didn’t want for myself on my wedding day and that I don’t want for my couples either. That’s why I deliberately help you carve out a little space in your timeline for this.

After your ceremony you and your guests will pour out of the space and be swept up into the flow of the day, a wonderful whirlwind of love and fun. Traditionally, this is the time when your florist seamlessly swoops back in and relocates your ceremony flowers to their next location, be that your dining space, as a backdrop for something else, or for several different moments around your venue.

However, the Bloominati way is to take a pause here – I encourage all my couples to come back into the ceremony room after everyone else is gone, and have some gorgeous just-married portraits taken by their photographer. Before my team and I touch a single stem, you’ll get the chance to be photographed with your beautiful ceremony florals – and I know from experience these can be some of the most stunning, dramatic and heartfelt pictures you’ll get all day.

Autumn Pastels

2026 wedding floral trends

In case you hadn’t guessed it by now, alternative, stylish colour palettes are very much my thing. I love to celebrate colour, crafting flower-dense installations and designs without too much focus on foliage for maximum impact.

Something I strongly believe is that there are no colour combinations that have to be reserved for certain times of year, and I want you to say hello to autumn pastels. I’m currently working on a gorgeous October wedding brief featuring lilac alongside toffee, peach and lemon, which will all come together to create a playful pastel wonderland – in autumn!

 

Freedom from Foliage

While some wedding florists love to incorporate filler foliage such as myrtle, eucalyptus, herbs and ivies to create a wild, organic design, the Bloominati style has a different focus – colour. My designs place flowers front and centre, letting the blooms do the talking. This allows your colour palette to take centre stage and has an abundant, striking end result.

Flower Varieties

 

Pinterest released its annual wedding trends report recently, and I enthusiastically agree with some of their suggestions for what we’ll be seeing more of in 2026.

Specific flower varieties such as amaranthus (lush and trailing), cala lilies (classy and distinctive) and anthurium (waxy and vibrant) make incredible bouquet blooms, look great as single stem statements, and work in arrangements and installations beautifully too.
