2026 and 2027 Wedding Flower and Design Trend

Every year for the last 12 years, I’ve written an annual trends forecasting blog post. I always enjoy it but to be honest, this year I’m not feeling it. Why? Good question.

It might be that the trend cycle seems less interesting to me than ever before. Rather than obsessing over trends, I would love to see you plan a wedding and celebration that is unique, interesting, and fits your vision instead of just replicating another thing you saw online. I’m feeling this way with my personal style, with the renovation I’m planning for my home, even just feeling super tired of Instagram itself.

The best designs are never going to be replicating what we see someone else has done.

Top Trends for 2024 and 2025 Winnipeg Weddings

Writing my annual wedding trends post is one of my favourite posts to work on. It’s fun to see how many of my couples of digging into “trends,” and TBH it’s also kind of fun for me to hate on trends that other people are talking about. Not all trends are good trends, friends.

I focus on the design-related trends here. There are lots of other cool trends you might consider adding to your wedding — the audio guestbook, for example, or having a content creator with you all day long. I’m just going to stay in my lane, and talk about pretty things.

Make Your Wedding Cake a Focal Point

My wedding design philosophy centres around creating focal design moments that will be memorable, interactive, and highly photographed. These are also where you’ll end up investing chunks of your budget. Choosing to invest in focal moments helps ensure that you’re not going to blow your budget overall by spending on every little thing, but rather giving your spending a focus.

i know people have their ups and downs with wedding cakes and whether they’re a priority or not. in my mind, it comes down to this: if you’re going to invest in a wedding cake, then make 👏🏻 it 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 Moment 👏🏻

Wedding Colour Palettes Featuring Lilac

The fashion girlies are all wearing lilac this year, and we’re seeing that filter into your wedding palettes.

It can be tricky to use something so trendy in a fresh way. But, lucky for us, lilac is one of those shades that you can use in so many different ways to evoke a different design style. Here are some of my favourites!

My Favourite Wedding Seating Chart Ideas

What do I mean by marrying form with function? It’s pretty straightforward — your seating chart has a very important purpose: corral your guests and tell them where to go to avoid a chaotic dining experience. It’s also an opportunity to create an interactive design focal point that wows your guests while getting the job done.
