Trending Colours for 2025

• Sunset Hues:

Orange, coral, peach, and deep red tones evoke warmth and passion. These colours create an inviting atmosphere for summer and autumn weddings.

• Electric Blues and Purples: 

Think bold indigo, lavender, and royal blue paired with soft pinks or metallic accents for a stunning contrast.

• Emerald Greens and Warm Neutrals: 

Earthy tones remain popular, with green becoming the backbone of many designs. When paired with caramel, beige, and gold accents, they feel timeless yet modern.

How to Incorporate Vibrant Colours:

• Choose a bouquet that mixes vibrant florals with subtle foliage for a balanced look.

• Use coloured glass vases, tableware, or linens to bring these tones into your reception décor.

• Opt for gradient or ombré arrangements where one colour gradually blends into another for a contemporary touch.

Vibrant colours make a statement and allow couples to embrace boldness, symbolising their personalities and love story.

2. Wildflower-Inspired Bouquets and Arrangements

2025 is all about embracing a more natural, free-flowing style when it comes to floral arrangements. Inspired by wildflower meadows, bouquets and décor feature a mix of textures, colours, and organic shapes.

Key Elements of the Wild Flower Trend

• Non-Traditional Flowers: 

Delicate daisies, Queen Anne’s lace, cosmos, and snapdragons are replacing classic roses and peonies.

• Asymmetry: 

Wildflower-inspired bouquets are designed to feel loose and untamed, with cascading greenery or trailing ribbons.

• Mixed Textures: 

Incorporating grasses, dried elements, and unique greenery (such as ferns and asparagus) adds depth and interest.

This trend is perfect for couples hosting rustic, outdoor, or bohemian weddings, such as those at Larchfield Estate. Wildflower bouquets also lend themselves beautifully to sustainable floristry practices, as many of these blooms can be sourced locally and seasonally.

• Hanging Floral Chandeliers: 

Suspended arrangements of flowers and greenery bring an ethereal, magical feel to indoor spaces.

• Floral Arches and Backdrops: 

Ceremony arches adorned with lush blooms and greenery are becoming more elaborate, serving as picture-perfect focal points.

• Tabletop Runners: 

Instead of individual centrepieces, couples are choosing full floral runners down the length of their tables, creating a cohesive and luxurious look.

Design Tips:

• Use seasonal blooms to reduce costs while keeping installations lush.

• Mix fresh and dried flowers for a unique texture and longevity.

• Add fairy lights or candles to installations for a romantic evening glow.

These installations not only provide stunning photo opportunities but also immerse guests in a magical floral experience from the moment they arrive.

4. Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Florals

As environmental awareness grows, more couples are prioritising sustainability in their wedding planning. In 2025, florists are rising to the challenge with eco-friendly practices and innovative ideas.

Sustainable Floral Practices:

• Locally Grown Flowers: 

Choosing locally sourced blooms reduces the environmental impact of transportation and supports small businesses.

• Foam-Free Arrangements: 

Florists are moving away from floral foam, which is not biodegradable, and using reusable structures or chicken wire instead.

• Repurposing Flowers: 

Couples are repurposing ceremony florals for the reception, ensuring that no arrangement goes to waste.

Eco-Friendly Décor Ideas:

• Dried and preserved flowers can be used as standalone arrangements or combined with fresh blooms for a contemporary look.

• Potted plants, herbs, or succulents double as décor and favours for guests, allowing them to take home a piece of the wedding.

• Opt for flower donations after the wedding, giving arrangements a second life in hospitals or care homes.

Sustainability in florals reflects the couple’s values while creating timeless and meaningful designs.

5. Personalised Floral Statements

Couples in 2025 are using florals to tell their unique story, choosing blooms, colours, and arrangements that reflect their personalities and relationship.

Ideas for Personalisation:

• Signature Flowers: 

Incorporate flowers that have special meaning, such as blooms from the couple’s home countries or first date locations.

• Custom Embellishments: 

Add personalised touches like monogrammed ribbons or even handwritten notes tied to the stems of bouquets.

• Floral Wearables: 

Flower crowns, boutonnieres, or even floral necklaces are becoming more intricate and tailored to match the couple’s style.

Interactive Florals:

• Create a DIY flower bar where guests can design their own mini bouquets to take home.

• Use edible flowers in cocktails, desserts, or even as garnishes for the wedding cake to tie the floral theme into the menu.

Personalised florals ensure every wedding feels one-of-a-kind and memorable, with details that resonate with both the couple and their guests.
