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.

Now here’s the thing: Despite my current disillusionment in all things trends, I nevertheless work in an aesthetics-based segment of the wedding industry. And I LOVE making your weddings beautiful. But here’s a good quote for you: “You can’t please everyone, so please yourself. Trying to make every family member and guest happy can lead to a wedding that doesn’t reflect you two as a couple. Focus on what makes you happy.” In other words: You do you. Make your wedding the greatest it can be, for you.
Trending Colour Palettes
Blue
I LOVE blue. Much of my wardrobe is blue. It’s flattering on every skin tone, it can be calming or energizing, and of course, there’s such a huge range of shades. I think we’ll be seeing pastel, baby blues (paired with chrome for a chic feel!) as well as bolder cobalt for couples who aren’t afraid to make a statement.
When it comes to flowers, there really aren’t that many naturally blue flowers, so when blue is a strong component of a colour palette, I often suggest that the planner or couple finds other ways to incorporate it; stationery and linens are excellent places to layer in more blue.
Chartreuse
Wedding pros have been petitioning Pantone to make Chartreuse the colour of the year for a few seasons now, and I think we’ll keep it seeing it play into high end weddings in a major way. It’s a fun way to add a modern flair to a classic white and green palette, but I’d love to do a citrusy palette like Brides and Minted have collaborated on.
Burgundy and Olive
It’s not new, but it’s still going strong. Burgundy and olive green will continue to be a popular choice, and for good reason! It feels very rich and luxurious, and is a natural base for an elevated design. This palette fits really well with velvet textures and over the top drapery, and I think you could easily layer in rich browns, taupes, and magentas to add more depth and visual interest.
Unconventional Seating Layouts
This one’s quite a lot of fun! We’re seeing unique seating layouts all over Pinterest and Instagram, for both ceremonies and receptions. Below are a few images that caught my eye, but one word of caution: pretty much all of these ideas require either a smaller guest count, or a large amount of space — or both!
To tie back to the beginning of this post, these are all excellent examples of having fun and getting creative. Do something unique, because you like unique — and not just because you’ve seen it on IG.

An amazing floor plan is like a love language to someone who works in events. A plan that creates visual interest in the room and allows for multiple different design elements, at the same time as allowing for excellent flow, is the absolute dream.
We’re talking differently shaped and sized tables, mixed cocktail and full size tables, introducing interesting seating elements (as long as they’re still comfortable!) and you have got yourself one heck of a good base for your event design. Just also know that you may not be able to count on the standard 8-10 people per table so your numbers will be a bit different!
Major Ceremony Focal Features with Scaled Back Reception Tables
In my books, this is a great combination: amped up florals and decor at the ceremony, and scaling it back on the guest tables at the reception. Here’s what works about this wedding design trend:
-When you go big in one area, it doesn’t look like you chintzed out in the other area. Meanwhile, if you go kind of medium everywhere and try to spread your budget equally without creating any design focal points, then it does feel like you chintzed out (not that other people’s perceptions of your wedding budget should have much bearing on reality…but keep in mind I’m speaking from a designer’s perspective here).
-I would love to see this as multiple pieces grouped around your ceremony altar, whatever that may be: an arch is always good, but I am seeing more interest in multiple sizes and styles of vases and ground-based floral pieces styled together. Then, we’re seeing long reception tables lined with minimalistic bud vases or petite floral frog arrangements, or round tables with 3x petite floral pieces with candles.
-Ideally, the ceremony focal florals are pieces that can be utilized at the reception (*note, you’ll need to talk this through with your floral designer so that she can plan it all out in advance. We design different pieces in different ways, and we want to make sure it looks phenomenal in each location). So, perhaps those ceremony arrangements become ground-based pieces that find their new home at the front base of each long table.
-Note that we still have a beautiful collection of vases on the guest tables, perhaps featuring interesting vessels themselves, or allowing the florals to have a lot of height and interest.
Portraits Are Getting a Glow Up

Very editorial portrait style
Bonus points if this can also be set up as a grown-up alternative to a photo booth. I know I would be THRILLED as a guest if your photographer (or their second shooter) was taking high quality portraits of guests with a gorgeous setup that didn’t include cheesy props.
Bold Lighting Design
Lighting is taking a major step forward in design priorities this year. "Lighting sets the tone before anything else. Step into a room, and you feel it instantly. It guides the eye, shapes the space, and creates moments that linger. It’s no longer just functional—lighting is part of the décor. Seamless when subtle, bold when dramatic, it elevates the room, the entertainment, and the mood. Every glow and shadow tells a story. We are loving where this has taken our events, and possibilities are endless. The right light doesn’t just illuminate—it transforms. It’s how an event becomes unforgettable.” —Xin Huang of Le Petite Privé
Silver and Chrome Accents
We’ve been seeing silver and chrome accents trickling into fashion and home design, and slowly but surely making its way into weddings as well. As Junebug reports, “Silver is replacing gold, bronze, and warm metals in wedding fashion and décor. Expect to see silver tableware, silver-accented attire, reflective details, and chrome-adjacent finishes. It feels fresh, cool, and timeless.”
One thing to note, it does take a while for some of these types of design trends to become accessible in our market. It’ll take some time and investment on behalf of rental companies to be able to purchase inventory and get it into circulation. I just brought in some SUPER cute chrome vessels that I’m really excited to style at weddings and events this year!
So now that I’ve finished this post, I’m finding myself much more interested in thinking about trends than I was when I started — so that’s a good thing! I think all of these ideas can be highly customizable and be pushed to really create something that’s interesting and personalized to your style, your venue, your vibe.
I also thought I’d share my personal 2026 inspiration board!
I always like to start off with a delicious colour palette, and this is actually the palette that I’m focusing on in a branding refresh this year. You’ll be seeing more of this soon :)
I was thinking about what gets me really excited, what leaves me feeling invigorated and refreshed, and that’s always joyful colour, sweet pea, and pansies. I have had so much fun with dahlias the last couple of seasons and when they’re in season, there’s really nothing that beats them.
So, if you’re unsure of what you want, no worries. I KNOW WHAT I WANT and I can just do that for you! I’ve got ideas for every season that I want to accomplish this year.

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.
I always love forecasting wedding trends, so here we go!

As always, before I jump into some of my favourite trends that I hope we’ll see in 2024 and 2025 weddings, here are a few things that are always at the top of my list:
Environmental Responsibility
Quality Over Quantity
Locally Grown Flowers
Doing Things Your Own Way
I just read a quote the other day encouraging couples planning their weddings: “You can’t please everyone, so please yourself. Trying to make every family member and guest happy can lead to a wedding that doesn’t reflect you two as a couple. Focus on what makes you happy.” So my friends, if you don’t like what I have to say here, that’s TOTALLY FINE. You do you, my friends. Make your wedding the greatest it can be, for you.
Oh, and I am still obsessed with the trends that we talked about last year; in fact, I inclulded a few of them here again! Check that out here if you want.
And now, let’s get into the pretty and inspirational! (And PS — if you’re newly engaged, congratulations! If you’re new here, welcome! I share a deep look into my real weddings, along with sharing planning advice and tips!)

Sculptural Floral Design
We’re seeing unique shapes, funky ingredients and textures and REALLY letting the flowers shine. There’s no micromanaging with this — we’re beholden to what cool ingredients we can get, so a client cannot be particular if this is the style they want.
And after so many years of “just a little greenery,” I cannot tell you how truly thrilled FLORAL DESIGNERS are to see a return to actual floral design.
Focal Design Moments
Let’s favour a few focal floral features and minimize other elements. I always look to Australian wedding trends; trends often start there and work their way here — and we’re seeing a lot of abundant, over the top hanging installations, focal floral arrangements, and then somewhat minimized tabletops for banquet tables. Statements moments like a hanging piece, a killer entrance moment, a spectacular cake set up…chef’s kiss.
Mono-Bloom Bouquets
We’ve been seeing mono-bloom bridesmaid bouquets popping up more and more on Instagram, and I’m all for it. Basically, this means we take one specific flower type for each bridesmaid, giving them each a unique bouquet, and then tying it all together with your bouquet.
I really love that we can create very different vibes with this — whimsical and gardeny, modern and sleek, obviously hitting different parts of your colour palette…it’s all good and I’d love to do more of it.
We’re also still scaling back on bouquet size, aiming for a more petite feel.
Creative Seating Plans
An amazing floor plan is like a love language to someone who works in events. A plan that creates visual interest in the room and allows for multiple different design elements, at the same time as allowing for excellent flow, is the absolute dream.
We’re talking differently shaped and sized tables, mixed cocktail and full size tables, introducing interesting seating elements (as long as they’re still comfortable!) and you have got yourself one heck of a good base for your event design.
Colour
Neon.
K now don’t get too worried — this isn’t going to be a widespread trend. But I’m really excited to see some hints of neon working their way into fun, bold wedding palettes. Note that this will be hard to do with flowers, so this is something to consider bringing in with candles, vases, stationery, and so on.
Are these acrylic place mats not DIVINE?!
Outside of just neon, I’m thinking we’re going to keep seeing a lot of orange — mostly just in accents, but it’s presence will be felt.
Meandering Aisles
This isn’t exactly anything new, but I’ve been noticing more and more ceremony designs making use of the space they have by creating a meandering aisle. This means that your chairs are not perfectly aligned, instead creating a wave pattern that then allows your floral designer to tuck floral arrangements into. Note that you’re going to need a lot of space to do this, and it will not work in every setting as a result.
Unique Draping
This one is a bit harder because it really hinges on your venue, but I’m seeing a lot of really interesting, unique draping installations and I’m HERE for it. Why?
Draping can create a really cool ambiance, and completely change the vibe of the space. Dreamy, modern, organic, clean…all things possible with drapery. And no unsightly venue walls to contend with.
Bows
This one comes to us from my friend Emily at Feast & Festivities:
Bows are a timeless design (they're never out of style), but this year they are making a statement. Big bows and dainty bows, you'll find them tied around the stems of champagne coupes, on the shoulders of gowns, on wine bottles, and adorning anything from menus to cakes and floral installations.

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 👏🏻

Fresh Florals + Sugar Flowers = CAKE LOVE
Alright, so I’m pretty confident that I’ve never seen a more gorgeous wedding cake than this one. Everything about it was divine, but just overall the way Jenna styled the fresh florals with sugar flowers and fruit was just glorious. Totally, totally glorious. It took centre stage on an equally beautiful dessert table and we didn’t add any extra major floral moments, because the cake itself was perfection.
Of course you’ll want to see this entire wedding at The White Poplar, which you can find here.
Little Cake, Big Style
This was just a simple Baked Expectations carrot cake but we really went for it on the flowers. This was a completely floral foam-free cake surround — I don’t like foam ever, but I would never use it near a cake. It’s just straight up cancer chemical plastic…no bueno. So this was designed in mixed sizes of vases and little chicken wire rolls! Here’s a look at how we designed it!
Bonus: If you’re an interior design lover, then shop your home! This table is from Brenna’s living room and it was totally perfect.
Slide it Under the Arch
Well, this is one we’ll never forget! The ceremony arch was set up in the Concert Ballroom at the Fort Garry, and then dinner was in the Crystal Ballroom down the hallway. That gave the perfect amount of time to flip the ceremony space into an afterparty and slid the cake under the arch.
Hot dang you guys. The cake itself was a remarkable 6 tiered showstopper, and under this 12 foot tall arch, it was a SERIOUS moment.

Re-Using Your Ceremony Setting
If your ceremony and reception venues are in the same space, then you literally have to think no further than adding a cocktail table with a gorgeous linen to use as a cake table, and sliding that right under or in front of your ceremony floral feature.
Set at The Novella, this editorial shoot featured a super cute circular ceremony platform with a hanging floral installation above. It was a no-brainer to re-use this as the perfect setting for the gorgeous cake (but if it was your wedding, you’d probably want those ceremony chairs taken out!).
Pies and Flowers
So if you’re doing a dessert table of any kind (in this case, pies and donuts), you have the opportunity to make it a fun and interactive display, more than just a buffet line like you’d see at a social.
First, I love the way the treats are all displayed on various crates and cake plates to give height and visual appeal.
We added ground-based floral pieces to both sides of the table, kind of moving around the front of the table. Lots of movement and height, super textural, tying through the colour palette…it looked gorgeous, if I may say so myself.
If you’re doing large aisle pieces, this could be the perfect way to repurpose them!

Simple and Romantic
Even if your cake is on the simpler side, you don’t need to scrimp on style! The hand painted petal detailing on the cake was light and romantic, so we wanted to mimic that with a frilly petal design on the cake table itself.
This was also a cute way to fill the table, without adding a ton of cost to your budget! And of course, it also makes for a super pretty addition to those champagne tower pouring photos 😍
More coming from this editorial soon!
Summer Colour
I loved the juicy pops of colour on this cake! I wanted to create a partial floral surround and just load it full of colourful blooms, and I used a lot of locally grown deliciousness for it.
This is a great design if you’re opting for the traditional cake-cutting moment, because you’ve got easy-access to most of the cake but still have the eye-catching florals.
See the rest of this cute and colourful editorial here!
Rose Garden Vibes
Marisa requested a straight-up rose garden for her wedding cake. Ummm YOU GOT IT.
This would be another perfect way to repurpose those aisle flowers! You’ll just want to make sure that your floral designer and your wedding planner connect regarding the scale — the florals can’t be too low to the ground, the cake table can’t be too high, etc.!

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!

Oftentimes, 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!
First things first: feeling stuck? One of my favourite places to find colour palette inspiration is in fabric. Take a look below and tell me you’re not inspired. Another way to find colour palettes that sing to you is in art! I love looking at abstract art and seeing how different shades and tones interact.
I’m keeping things easy here, with just a few colours in each of the palettes below. But, I often find that the most exhilarating palettes are those that are broad and bold, so don’t be afraid to take one of the ideas below as a starting point and then layer in other ideas. Don’t just go with 2 colours. We need to blend and create movement, mkay?
Lilac and Peach/Orange
This is undoubtedly one of my favourite combinations of the year. Whether you’re going a bit more subtle with the peach or you want to go bold with orange, these combinations pair so beautifully and feels juicy, fresh, and will legit make you crave candy.
Coral and raspberry are natural additions to this palete!

Lilac with Pastel Blue and Pink
Pastels are always an easy go-to. If you’re inspired by all things feminine, ruffly, and delicate, then this is a natural choice for you. It works great in a ballroom setting, it works great in a garden setting. I’d love to see this paired with adorable butterflies (Golden Age Botanicals makes AMAZING ones you could tuck into your bouquet!!). K call me. I want to do this.

Lilac, Grey, and Peach
Another option if your style is naturally feminine, I love that this digs into the cool tones. You can have a lot of fun with smokey greys (these smoke glassware!) and them amping it up with metallic gold.
Lilac and Red
Modern, bold, chic. I need more of this in my life.
This is giving sleek, rock and roll, bold and fearless. It’s giving red lips and a feather dress. It’s giving a killer pair of heels.
Floral Design by Isibeal Studio / See it all here
Lilac with Gold and Olive
This one takes a more practised hand to oversee, but I think there’s a lot that can be done here. You’re going to need to do some really solid blending, bringing in other tones to make it work.

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.
The seating chart: the perfect place to marry form with function.

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.
Before we get started, a few tips on putting together your seating plan:
Order names alphabetically by last name, not by table number!
Ask your parents to help figure out their friends’ seating
Do away with the singles table
Whether you assign people to tables or to specific seats at tables, make it all REALLY clear
One more general piece of advice that seems common sense until you start going deep into design and you start to lose common sense: make it legible. Thin script fonts, clear acrylic or glass backdrops, too many mirrored elements all make it hard for your guests to actually read.
And now, let’s get into the pretty and inspirational! These are all from weddings I’ve designed the florals for in the past few years, and each was amazing for different reasons. Read on for more (And PS — if you’re newly engaged, congratulations! If you’re new here, welcome! I share a deep look into my real weddings, along with sharing planning advice and tips!).
Looking for more? I’ve also created a Pinterest Board rounding up some seating chart designs that recently caught my eye. Check that out right here!
Fun Colour Use
Oh my goodness, I absolutely LOVED the way this bold seating display came together for Jess and Donny’s wedding a few years back.
Emily from Feast & Festivities is very detailed in her design planning, and she’s definitely not afraid of colour. Using this orange acrylic is just SO MUCH FUN, right? It also helps to make the names legible, as clear acrylic can make it pretty tricky to read.
The florals were all repurposed from the ceremony, and the staggered plinths takes this design from basic to extraordinary, while also being cost-effective!
As featured on Carats & Cake.
Arches and A Little Disney
This seating chart is simple but impactful. The repetition of the arched elements makes a big statement, pairing the seating chart (hung from a black arched frame) with an arched backdrop displaying their name a touch of Disney. Note that the names are arranged alphabetically! Woo!
There’s almost always an opportunity for some florals, but I definitely prefer a statement floral piece as opposed to “just a little something added to the sign.” If you’re not going to go big, then just go home — as in, don’t bother adding florals to your seating chart if the budget doesn’t support it. Adding a “little something” just adds up quickly without making an impact to the design and often just feels like unnecessary fluff.

Enter in Style
One of my design goals for Tiff and Steph’s tent wedding was to really bring the outdoors in, which was especially good as it rained most of the day. We designed this lush, delicious tent entrance and then nestled my seating chart base into it. Feast & Festivities put together the seating chart itself, and I just ADORE the magenta. It’s an unexpected colour pop, which really grabs everyone’s eyes and makes sure they can’t miss it.
Modern Base with Florals Added
I had this modern, clean white base custom-made for this wedding that I provided both florals and event design for. The seating chart itself was printed on a large piece of foam-core, and slid right into the base.
We positioned the seating chart at the entrance to the room in SNAC, which served to bring a little more purpose and presence to the cards table while welcoming everyone in.
I then designed this all-white floral piece to place on the ground in front of the seating chart base, and I was lucky to incorporate a lot of locally grown white lilac, which is one of the bride’s faves. More to come from this wedding soon!
Big, Bold, and Creative
This couple’s wedding was inspired by their love for Big White, the ski hill where they first met and shared their first NYE midnight kiss (adorable). So for their seating chart, they took inspiration from the ski runs, using it as a graphic backdrop for the chart itself. And instead of a typical seating chart, each guest’s name and photo was printed to look like a ski hill pass, and then clipped onto a custom lanyard. It was so creative!
I LOVE a good colour blocked floral moment. While it’s not right for every wedding or couple’s style, colour blocking your florals can make a big design moment feel even more impactful.
See more featured on Green Wedding Shoes!
Go for the Wow (and Fill Space!)
Everything about Karleigh and Matt’s wedding was a designer’s dream, and this seating display was certainly no exception.
In many venues, you’re really limited by the amount of space you have to work with. But here, we had the entire 7th floor of the Fort Garry Hotel, with the dinner in one ballroom and the party in the other, so the entire hallway served as a welcome and cocktail area, and that left a lot of space to add in a statement making seating display.
The plinths were a combination of clear acrylic and mirrored gold, which felt very glamorous and also allowed us to design some florals inside the pedestals, some outside, some on top.
See the entire wedding here for some more jaw-dropping design elements!
Cottage-Core Influence
My dear bride Brenna planned and designed her wedding and every element was a perfect reflection of her personal style. They created this backdrop that served to guide guests in to their backyard, added a guest book on their adorable console table, and the seating assignments were added to the pegboard backing, too. Multi-functional and tres adorable. Oh, and it hid the wood pile behind it!
I cannot wait to share more from this backyard wedding. In the meantime, take a look at this cutie reel showing their romantic ceremony setting.
Define Your Tent Entrance
If you’re hosting a tent wedding in the summer, chances are pretty good that you’ll have the walls open to bring in some fresh air. And if that’s the case, then it can be tricky to get your guests to enter from the correct spot, which could interfere with the serving staff or bartenders, cause people to trip over electrical wires, and so on. So, integrate your seating chart into a tent entrance design that defines the entryway.
This particular seating chart was super simple — just individual names with their table number hand-calligraphed and pinned onto a linen-wrapped board, and topped with a little greenery sprig!
