Trend of The Year
Trends spark inspiration, shape new aesthetics, and give couples a shared language for dreaming up their day. And as we step into a season when everyone is talking about what’s next, we know how energizing that conversation can be.
But we also know many couples are feeling a quiet kind of trend fatigue. With so many “musts” and “shoulds” floating around, it’s easy to lose sight of what you actually love. More than ever, people want their weddings to feel personal, intentional, and truly reflective of who they are, not what the algorithm says is in.
So instead of crowning a single trend of the year, we’re naming 2026 the Year of Self-Expression.
The Year of Self-Expression
Weddings are no longer about checking a series of boxes. They’re about creating a moment that feels like yours. Whether you lean modern or romantic, minimal or full-garden, bold or understated, the most important thing is that your florals reflect who you are, not who the algorithms say you should be.
So… if you do want a little inspiration, guidance, or something to spark joy as you dream up your day, here are two floral trends we’re loving for 2026.
Trend of The Year
Elongated Stems
Elegant. Minimal. Effortless.
Long, clean stems are showing up everywhere, from refined bridal bouquets to sculptural reception arrangements, and they’re quietly redefining what “modern florals” look like. Brides aren’t choosing stems just for color anymore; they’re choosing them for personality, proportion, and the way they complement the dress and the venue.
These bouquets feel less like a “statement piece” and more like an extension of the bride herself. They photograph beautifully, create natural movement, and allow each stem to shine. And for many couples, this subtlety feels luxurious without being loud and intentional without trying too hard.
Why we love it:
- It feels fashion-forward but timeless
- It complements rather than competes with the gown
- It reads as personal style, not performance
- It lets texture and shape take center stage
Elongated stems offer brides a way to express themselves with quiet confidence. A bouquet that whispers instead of shouts.
Trend of The Year
Meadow & Moss Moments
Organic. Airy. Grounded.
This trend leans into florals that feel like they grew there, ceremony aisles framed by soft meadows, dinner tables dotted with sculptural moss textures, bar or entry moments that bring the outdoors inside in an artful way.
It’s flowers as atmosphere and emotions that make the space feel alive.
What we’re seeing (and loving):
- Meadow installations that look picked from the surrounding landscape
- Soft grasses mixed with a single flower variety for a modern look
- Or conversely, a wildflower-forward palette for a more whimsical approach
- Pieces that are breathable, not stuffy and effortless instead of overly curated
This trend lives on a spectrum, from minimal modern to wildflower garden. Either way, it invites couples to build something that feels natural, approachable, and deeply personal. It’s less about following a style and more about shaping a feeling.
Trend of The Year
Trends Don’t Define You—You Define Them
Your wedding isn’t a test to get right. It’s a story you get to tell. And your flowers should feel like an extension of that—whether that means a sculptural bouquet of elongated stems, a meadow installation that feels lifted from nature, or something entirely different.
This year, and every year, the real trend is you.
Choose what feels true and joyful, flowers that feel like the start of your life together.
And if you need help bringing that vision to life? We’re right here.
