The Wedding Florist’s Favorites from the Wed’s 2025 Trend Report
As a wedding florist, one of the most exciting aspects of my work is aligning my designs with the evolving trends that couples are embracing. The Wed’s 2025 Trend Report has highlighted some incredible shifts that resonate deeply with the values of my floral designs and the preferences of my clients. Here are a few of my personal favorites, inspired by the trend forecast for the upcoming wedding season:
1. Locally Grown Flowers: Sustainability Takes Center Stage
One of the most exciting developments is the increased emphasis on sustainability. More couples are seeking out locally sourced flowers, and I couldn’t be happier to support this movement. By using flowers from local growers, we not only reduce our carbon footprint but also celebrate the beauty of our region’s seasonal blooms. It’s a perfect match for multi-day wedding celebrations, where we can showcase different arrangements reflecting diverse themes—from welcome parties to farewell brunches—all while staying eco-friendly.
Florist's Tip: Embrace the unique seasonal blooms your florist sources locally, and let go of relying solely on traditional flowers. California’s incredible abundance offers a stunning variety, and what local farmers grow often outshines anything imported.
2. Colorful Choices: A Bold Departure from Tradition
Say goodbye to the traditional white wedding! Couples are leaning into colorful linens and vibrant floral palettes, opting for more contemporary arrangements. This trend allows for playful creativity, and it’s been a joy to design pieces that reflect this shift. Think simplified, yet striking centerpieces, where the florals provide an unexpected pop of color without overwhelming the table.
Florist's Tip: For a fresh, modern aesthetic, mix bold, textured blooms with soft, muted tones. Using color blocking with bright and subtle shades creates a sophisticated yet vibrant vibe.
3. Thoughtful Design: “Less Is More”
The “Less is More” design approach is gaining popularity, and I’m thrilled to see this aesthetic of organized chaos becoming a preferred choice. It’s all about intentional placement and creating a natural, textured look. This style allows for layered elements that are both refined and functional, resulting in arrangements that feel elegant yet effortless.
Florist's Tip: Focus on asymmetry and texture. Using a mix of dried elements, alongside fresh flowers, can create a visually striking yet balanced arrangement.
4. Customization and Tailoring: Personalized Touches
More than ever, couples are seeking to express their unique personalities through every aspect of their wedding, including the florals. This trend has been a delight to work with as it opens the door for personalized touches. From incorporating heirloom vases to using specific blooms that have sentimental meaning to the couple, every arrangement can tell a story.
Florist's Tip: Connect with the couple early in the planning process to learn about their personal style and preferences. It’s these small, tailored details that will make the florals stand out and feel truly special.
5. Authenticity Over Tradition: Celebrating Self-Expression
In 2025, weddings are becoming more about authentic self-expression than adhering to traditional norms. Couples are embracing florals that reflect their values and style, opting for bold, creative arrangements that feel uniquely “them.” This trend allows for greater flexibility and innovation, and I love working with clients who want their wedding to feel personal and unconventional.
Florist's Tip: Encourage couples to look beyond traditional flowers. Adding unexpected elements like vegetables, unique grasses, branches, or unusual plants can elevate the design and make it more tailored to the couple’s personal style.
6. Multi-Day Experiences: Extended Celebrations with Floral Versatility
As weddings become multi-day experiences, florals are playing a significant role in setting the tone for each event, from rehearsal dinners to farewell brunches. The flexibility of using floral pieces in different settings is key. I love designing arrangements that can be repurposed across multiple events, allowing the blooms to be enjoyed to their fullest.
Florist's Tip: Consider versatile pieces like floral arches or garlands that can be easily relocated and repurposed throughout the weekend’s events, adding a cohesive touch without needing all entirely new arrangements.
