If 2025 was about shedding the old and redefining modern, 2026 is about leaning into romance, warmth, and timeless beauty, with a fresh twist. From color palettes to bouquet shapes to installation styles, the year ahead is shaping up to be lush, layered, and full of character. Here are the floral trends you’ll be seeing everywhere in 2026 weddings.
1. Traditional Garden-Style Weddings
The pendulum is swinging back toward the classics. Think sprawling estates, elegant tents, and flowers that feel plucked straight from a painterly English garden. Garden-inspired weddings offer a balance of romance, tradition, and abundant florals without feeling stuffy. Expect lots of layered blooms, climbing vines, and ceremony setups that look like they grew there naturally.

2. The Return of Greenery
Goodbye, floral-only centerpieces. In 2026, greenery is back and bigger than ever. Couples are craving arrangements that feel organic and natural, with layered foliage weaving through florals to create depth and texture. From vine-draped chandeliers to urns overflowing with branches, greenery is making tablescapes feel lush, dimensional, and effortlessly romantic.
3. No Wedding Parties
Couples are opting out of traditional wedding parties altogether. No bridesmaid bouquets, no boutonnieres, no matching lineups. This trend puts the focus back on the couple and the overall aesthetic of the day, allowing the design to feel more intentional and less prescribed. Without wedding party florals, budgets can be redirected toward impactful ceremony installations, elevated tablescapes, and guest-facing moments that truly set the tone. The result feels intentional, editorial, and effortlessly chic.
4. Orange Is the New “It” Color
Even though Pantone’s Color of the Year is white, I’m seeing couples lean into more color than ever! White can be used as a nice base and against this clean, elevated backdrop, warm, juicy shades of orange are emerging as a standout trend. Sunset tones like terra cotta, apricot, marigold, and persimmon are defining the it palette for 2026 weddings. Orange brings vibrancy, depth, and a modern edge to otherwise neutral foundations. Paired with blush, peach, and gold, it feels fun and playful, and if done right can be elevated.
5. Statement Urns + Pedestal Installations
Thanks to Ms. Swift and her Renaissance-inspired visuals, large urns and pedestal florals are taking center stage in 2026 weddings. Instead of deconstructed arches or floating installations, couples are opting for grounded, sculptural floral art that feels both regal and organic. Oversized urns spilling with flowers and greenery create impact while still being versatile—moving easily from ceremony to reception for double the wow factor.
And last, but no least…. Drumroll please…
6.) Hydrangeas
Every year we see a popular stand out flower, whether it be pampas grass, baby’s breath, calla lilies, but for 2026 Hydrangeas are in. Nearly every inquiry I receive the couple mentions wanting to incorporate hydrangeas. These statement flowers can be used in coastal designs, modern takes, garden inspired weddings, etc.
2026 florals are layered, lush, and unapologetically romantic. It’s about creating timeless beauty with a modern sensibility, warm tones, intentional design, and installations that feel both classic and fresh.
