Weddings, are not just events—they are reflections, expressions and a collection of moments utterly bespoke and personal to the people involved.  As we step further into 2025, the world of wedding floristry is brimming with possibility, inviting florists to push boundaries, embrace bold ideas, and craft celebrations that feel deeply personal, effortlessly luxurious, and utterly unforgettable.

Here are my predictions—and perhaps a few personal hopes—for what’s to come in wedding floristry this year.

Unexpected Colour Combinations

Classic blush and ivory will always have their place, but 2025 is calling for something moodier, richer, and altogether more intriguing.  Neutrals take a sophisticated turn in 2025 with Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s Colour of the Year, leading the way. This rich, grounding shade—somewhere between velvety cocoa and warm taupe—sets the perfect canvas for embracing a warm, unexpected palette.

Paired with soft apricot, peach, and golden honey tones, you can create a look that is effortlessly romantic yet contemporary.  For us florists, this is an opportunity to play with warmth and texture.  When done right, these combinations feel modern yet timeless, offering a captivating new direction for wedding florals that is anything but ordinary.

Intimate, But Luxurious

The micro-wedding movement may have been born of necessity, but in 2025, it’s all about intention. Couples are opting for smaller guest lists, not to cut corners, but to curate an experience of the highest calibre.

This means working with clients who are prioritising quality over quantity—where each floral element is considered, every arrangement meticulously crafted, and the overall aesthetic nothing short of breathtaking. The beauty of a more intimate wedding? The budget stretches further, allowing for decadent floral details, exquisite tablescapes, and floral installations that feel indulgent and immersive.

Seasonality: A Timeless Trend

Seasonality has been trending for years, but let’s be honest—it’s not a trend. It’s a classic, an ethos, a way of working that allows us to harness nature at its most beautiful.

In 2025, expect to see an even stronger commitment to using what’s naturally available at the time of the wedding, celebrating the fleeting magic of peony season, the romance of autumn’s turning leaves, and the crisp elegance of winter berries. It’s a practice that not only leads to more beautiful, harmonious designs but also supports sustainability—a win-win in every sense.

Bigger, More Impactful Installations

If 2024 flirted with the idea of larger installations, 2025 is fully committing. Think towering floral arches, sprawling ceiling installations, and immersive floral experiences that transform spaces entirely.

We need to be refining large-scale mechanics, mastering foam-free techniques, and embracing a more sculptural approach to design. These statement pieces will be the ones that guests talk about for years to come, the kind of florals that don’t just complement a wedding but define it. And let’s be honest—there’s nothing quite as thrilling as seeing your work take over a space, wrapping guests in a world of blooms.

The Languorous Evening Ceremony

Daytime weddings have their charm, but in 2025, I'm hoping to see an increasing number of couples opting for later starts, leading to celebrations that stretch long into the evening—languorous, candlelit, and dripping in atmosphere.

Our job here is to design florals that transition beautifully from golden hour to moonlight. Softly illuminated installations, glow-lit tablescapes, and bouquets that shimmer in candlelight—these are the details that will make late-night weddings feel as intoxicating as they deserve to be.

Of course, none of this magic happens by chance. It takes skill, vision, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence to elevate wedding floristry beyond the expected and into the extraordinary.
