THE BLOG

With a new year comes new trends. Our job as luxury wedding florists is to pay attention to the floral trends of 2026—and trust us, they’re good. We’re seeing some of our favorite design ideas return in 2026, bringing a fresh perspective on how florals can elevate every event. From exciting new elements (fresh fruit, anyone?) to bold color combinations, these floral trends for 2026 are worth watching! 

Fresh Fruit 

Fresh fruit is officially back in style, and not just as a novelty. We’re seeing fruit used in centerpieces, cascading down tables, and woven through installations. Fruit is now a core design element, not just a garnish. Figs, pears, citrus, stone fruit, grapes, and berries are all being used to add color, texture, and abundance to any design. Fruit adds depth and movement to an installation, grounding an event in the present season in a way that even seasonal florals cannot. When done well, fresh fruit feels editorial, tactile, and romantic. It’s no surprise that this is one of our favorite emerging floral trends for this year!

Draping 

Soft architecture is taking over the design scene, and we couldn’t be more excited. Designers are using fabric to soften spaces, transforming even the most unfeeling spaces into dreamy, romantic atmospheres. We’re seeing fabric used to frame ceremonies, layer ceilings, and create intimacy in oversized venues. While we won’t have much imagery to share just yet, we’re already working behind the scenes on large-scale draping concepts that pair beautifully with florals, lighting, and structural installs. Expect intentional folds, movement, and texture that feel architectural yet romantic.

Unexpected Color Combinations 

For years, weddings fell into a color rut, with very strict, one-dimensional palettes. Now, couples are embracing more nuanced and layered color stories. Instead of sticking with one or two colors, they’re embracing a spectrum of colors that add depth and interest to every design. Think of a typical blue and white color palette. Now, imagine elevating it with unusual color combinations, like buttery yellows, soft clay tones, mossy greens, warm neutrals, or even a pop of fruit-driven color! These layered palettes feel more dimensional, more personal, and far more modern than a single-note scheme. As lovers of color, we are embracing this floral trend with all our hearts! 

Pastels

You might not think pastels qualify as a new floral trend, but keep reading, it gets more exciting. Modern pastels aren’t just delicate and dreamy; they’re mixed with saturated hues and interesting colors. Consider partnering lavender with apricot, pale yellow with bold blue, or blush with earthy and robust neutrals. The result feels romantic but grounded, airy but not juvenile. To truly pull off an exciting pastel palette like this, texture plays a huge role. Layered blooms, interesting shapes, negative space, and unexpected pairings keep pastel designs feeling editorial and sophisticated.
