Floral wedding trends this year are all about personalized expression. Sustainability and natural elements like wildflowers, foliage, fruits, and greenery are gaining in popularity. Couples are embracing colours and unique textures, moving away from strictly traditional styles, with trends such as deconstructed bouquets, organic clusters, and statement installations. Additionally, local sourcing and DIY approaches reflect a desire for individuality and eco-consciousness. 

Let’s look at some innovative ways to incorporate these floral trends in your wedding planning for 2025.

FLOWER STAMPS FOR WEDDING INVITATIONS

How fun would it be to hint at your wedding’s floral theme with the stamp on your invitations?  

Many countries issue a range of floral stamps every year, such as Canada’s peony stamps for 2025. They are often wildflowers or native species; the Canadian stamps feature cold-hardy hybrids, one of which, the “Cytheria” (left) is a cherry-rose semi-double bloom named after the Greek goddess of love. 

FLORAL BRIDAL GIFTS

Floral ceramics have been trending for a few years and are still going strong for Spring/Summer 2025. These fresh Lilac Floral Salad Plates from Tory Burch, or these Blue Peony Plates from Earth and Element would make a beautiful bridal shower gift. For the wedding gift itself, Le Creuset pots get passed on from generation to generation. For Spring 2025 the venerable French cookery brand has launched a Petal Collection in pretty pastel hues, but our pick is the classic white, resembling a camellia.

HAND-TIED AND GATHERED BOUQUETS

Brides are opting to showcase their creativity with their own floral artistry. Whether a simple gathered arrangement of wildflowers, or a show-stopping elaborate horizontal arrangement in family heirloom vessels, it adds a personal touch. We always love a simple hand-tied Calla lily bouquet, perhaps the epitome of both modern and classic. A staple at early 20th century aristocratic weddings (see below Lady Mary from Downton Abbey, as rendered en fleurs for our recent Bal Harbour show) they look fresh and sculptural for today’s bride. 

OVERSIZED AND STATEMENT INSTALLATIONS

Making a significant visual impact is key, with couples consolidating their floral budgets into one or two large floral moments. Oversized floral installations, such as grand arches, aerial displays, floral murals, and lush arrangements, are set to transform venues into extraordinary spaces. These installations serve as focal points and create memorable experiences for guests.

SUSTAINABILITY AND NATURAL ELEMENTS

Eco-consciousness continues to be a significant trend in 2025. This includes the use of locally sourced flowers, seasonal blooms, reusable installations, and potted plants as décor and wedding favours. Additionally, incorporating non-floral mix-ins like fruits, vegetables, herbs, and even carnivorous plants is gaining popularity, adding unique textures and colours while aligning with a more natural aesthetic.

WILDFLOWER AESTHETIC

The untamed beauty of wildflower arrangements is gaining prominence for both home interiors and weddings. This style features a mix of textures, colours, and natural elements that feel fresh-picked and connected to nature. Expect to see looser, more wild designs with a variety of in-season flowers and whimsical, dripping greenery.

PERSONALIZED AND UNIQUE TOUCHES

Couples are looking to incorporate personalized touches into their floral designs to reflect their individual stories. This can include using flowers that represent their birth months, incorporating florals from their home garden, or adding sentimental charms and fabrics to bouquets. The trend also extends to embracing unique and distinctive flowers like anthurium and fringed tulips, moving beyond traditional choices.

HONEYMOON-THEMED FLORALS

Couples are opting for flowers that represent their travel plans, such as tropical flowers and even fruit in colourful displays that transport guests to exotic shores. Think sunflowers and lavender for the Western European honeymoons, and sculptural and elegant orchids for Asia.
