Wedding flowers are always evolving; what feels fresh one year can suddenly feel overdone the next. As we move out of 2025, there are a few floral trends that have had their time in the spotlight but are ready to gracefully step aside to make room for what’s next. If you’re planning a wedding now (or simply obsessed with flowers like I am), here are five trends that are bowing out in 2025 and what we’ll see taking their place.

1. Chartreuse Greenery (The Brat Era is Over)

Yes, neon greens had a moment (thank you, Charli XCX.) That bold, chartreuse pop was everywhere, bringing electric vibrance to bouquets and installations. But we’re seeing a shift back toward soft, layered greenery that feels lush, organic, and timeless rather than loud. Think garden inspired vines, olive branches, and romantic textures over shock value foliage.

2. Calla Lilies as the “Modern Bride” Flower

Calla lilies made a huge comeback recently as the star of the ultra-modern, sleek wedding look. They brought drama, elegance, that minimalist edge, and paired so well with the aforementioned chartreuse. But as design trends move away from “modern” callas are starting to fade from the center stage. 2026 will be more about movement, romance, and layered botanicals. Think soft petals and whimsical shapes replacing sharp lines and monochromatic vibes.

3. Deconstructed Arches: Enter the Pedestal Era

The deconstructed arch had its heyday: asymmetrical installations, free-form climbing florals, all that good stuff. But looking ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be the year of pedestals and statement urns. Think grounded, sculptural floral art that feels luxe and intentional (we may or may not have Taylor Swift's engagement to thank for single-handedly making urns cool again). Couples are leaning into layered looks and large-scale vignettes instead of floating arches.

4. Big Bouquets to Petite with Personality

For years, oversized bouquets have dominated; cascade-style, overflowing, armfuls of blooms. And while they’re undeniably stunning, we’re seeing more couples (and florists!) lean toward petite, uniquely shaped bouquets (like this gorgeous one we created above). These smaller designs pack just as much personality but with more intentional bloom choices and interesting silhouettes. It’s about curation, not size, like a piece of wearable floral art.

5. Bows Everywhere

Remember when bows were the accessory? Hair bows, bouquet bows, ceremony bows, bows on candles, bows on bows, you name it. As my 16-year-old niece would tell you, “bows are out.” (And honestly, she’s not wrong.) While a perfectly tied silk ribbon will always have a place in floristry, the era of oversized, hyper-trendy bows has passed. In their place: more natural finishes, hand-dyed silks, and organic wrapping styles that let the flowers shine.

2025 is a year of transition moving away from the “Instagrammable trend era” and back into timeless, intentional design. Flowers are becoming more layered, romantic, and story-driven, with a big emphasis on artistry over trend-chasing.
