Floral Trends We’re Loving for 2025 Weddings
Introduction
Wedding florals do more than simply decorate a space. They create atmosphere, stir emotion, and help tell the story of your day in a way words often can’t. From the first look at your bouquet to the way guests feel when they enter the ceremony, flowers have the power to transform fleeting moments into lasting memories.
At Lael Florals, we believe floral design should feel deeply personal and artfully intentional. Whether you’re envisioning a whimsical garden ceremony, an intimate backyard celebration, or a joyful brunch reception blooming with color, we craft florals that reflect your story and invite guests into something beautiful. Every stem, texture, and palette choice is thoughtfully selected to bring your vision to life and make the day feel truly yours.
And while we love staying inspired by what’s fresh and current, the only trend that really matters is the one that speaks to you. This is your wedding, your story, and your chance to create something that reflects who you are and what you love. Trends can offer direction, but the most meaningful celebrations are the ones shaped by intention. That’s always our goal at Lael Florals—designs that feel not just beautiful, but deeply personal.
Here are six wedding floral trends for 2025 we’re loving right now. Each one offers a fresh perspective while still feeling timeless, natural, and full of heart.

Lael Florals designed a floral-embraced couch using a soft, romantic palette of neutrals and ivory, grounded by deep greens like olive branches and accented with subtle pops of butter yellow. The design beautifully complemented the custom canvas backdrop created by Willow Canvas, bringing warmth and intention to the entire scene.
2. Oversized Floral Installations
- The trend: Large-scale florals that completely transform a space
- Examples:
Lush hanging greenery mixed with delicate blooms
Grounded floral arches to frame your ceremony
Ceiling installations for a dreamy, immersive feel

Repurpose statement pieces from the ceremony at the reception

A 200-year-old oak tree served as the breathtaking ceremony backdrop, though the bride and groom were the true stars of the day. The floral installation was filled with fall favorites—chrysanthemums, lisianthus, garden roses, spray roses, stock, and calla lilies. Much of the greenery was foraged from the surrounding land, including ferns, wild asparagus, and magnolia branches, making the design feel beautifully rooted in place.
3. Minimalist Luxe Designs
- The trend: Simple, refined arrangements that let each bloom shine
- Examples:
Single-bloom centerpieces in sculptural vessels
Bouquets with just one or two types of flowers - How to create the look:
Choose premium blooms with strong shape and color
Use clean, neutral backdrops to keep the focus on the flowers - Why it works: Minimal designs feel modern and sophisticated, without losing warmth or emotion.
Photography by Remy Photos from a darling fall wedding at Waverly Estate in Lunenburg, Virginia. Each bridesmaid carried a monotype bouquet—single varieties of florals thoughtfully gathered into individual bundles. Those same blooms were then combined to create the bride’s bouquet, a sweet reflection of how each bridesmaid is uniquely connected to the bride and her story.
4. Textured Blooms and Uncommon Greenery
- The trend: Adding depth and movement through unexpected textures
- Textured blooms: Scabiosa pods, strawflower, Queen Anne’s lace, hanging amaranthus
- Greenery alternatives: Dried foliage, ruscus, rosemary, and flowering herbs
- Ideas to try:
Combine fresh and dried elements for contrast
Use textured florals in aisle markers, bouquets, or bud vases - Why it works: Texture gives your floral designs a wild, curated look that feels both natural and elevated.

The trailing amaranth quickly became a conversation piece among guests—and it’s no surprise. Around here, it’s one of our favorites. Its delicate, cascading texture adds a sense of movement, while the vibrant chartreuse green always catches the eye.
5. Personalized Floral Details
- The trend: Letting your story shape your floral choices
- Examples:
Including blooms that remind you of a family tradition
Choosing flowers native to your hometown or tied to your culture - Personal touches:
Wrapping a bouquet with meaningful ribbon or heirloom fabric
Creating keepsakes from your arrangements after the wedding - Why it works: When flowers hold meaning, they go beyond decoration. They become part of your legacy.

Bride Ashley thoughtfully hand-picked many of the floral varieties we used throughout her day, each chosen to honor a loved one. One of the most touching details: Virginia Snow alstroemerias, a nod to her grandmother, Virginia. Delicate white campanulas were also included—flowers that once bloomed in her grandmother’s garden. These personal touches brought such a deep sense of meaning to the floral design, filling the day with love, memory, and quiet beauty in every stem.
6. Soft Floral Meadow Moments
- The trend: Low, airy arrangements that feel like they’re growing naturally
- Examples:
Grounded floral pieces for ceremony backdrops
Organic groupings of low florals for aisle decor
Single stems inserted into the aisle, styled to mimic a wild garden - How to get the look:
Choose delicate blooms like lisianthus, cosmos, clematis, and stock
Let arrangements breathe with light spacing and gentle movement - Why it works: Meadow-style florals are soft and romantic. They feel natural, not overly styled, and invite guests into a dreamy, relaxed setting.
Photography by Kylie Renae Photography at The Historic Whitewood. This aisle was beautifully lined with meadow-inspired arrangements that framed the bride’s walk to forever. As a bonus trend we love—these floral pieces were later repurposed as centerpieces for the guest tables. Double floral duty is always a win, and our couples love getting the most beauty out of every bloom!
