Top Trends for 2025 and 2026 Winnipeg Wedding

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

---

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 are 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.

As always, before I jump into some of my favourite trends that I hope we’ll see continuing into 2025 and beyond, 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 love this quote 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.

And before I get too far, the wedding trends I forecasted last year (and the year before, TBH), are still totally relevant: sculptural floral design, creative floor plans, focal design moments, mono-bloom bouquets (I see this fading out, but I don’t know why — I still love it!), meandering aisles (still looking for someone to let me dig into this for them!), unique draping, and a few bows touches here and there!

And now, let’s get into the pretty and inspirational! (And PS — if you’re newly engaged, congratulations! If you’re new here, welcome! Here on the blog, I share a deep look into my real weddings, along with sharing planning advice and tips!)

Mocha Mousse: The Pantone Colour of the Year

I’ll admit something here: normally I hate the Pantone colour of the year. And maybe I hate the colour itself less than the way people use them. Typically I just find the Pantone colours of the year to be so saturated, and then wedding vendors with no design sense (oops, but I’m just being honest) take it in the most literal way and make crap with it 🫠

But this one!! I like this one! Though again, I think I like the mocha mousse less than I do the things that we can add to it. I’m seeing the mocha tone look amazing with chartreuse and bright shades of green, mauves, even with richer burgundies.

Sculptural Floral Ingredients

Last year I highlighted sculptural floral designs as a trend; this year, I’m getting more into the detail of it by telling you that it’s all about the INGREDIENTS.

As floral designers, we can’t create the unique and funky shapes you’re inspired by, without using unique and funky ingredients. If this is what you’re looking for, then you need to hire a designer who actually gets it. This is where a lesser designer will falter.

I’m seeing lots of calla lilies, lilies, clematis, gloriosa lilies, antherium (yes, still!), nerine, hellebores…unfortunately, all the things that are expensive 😂

Something Vintage Rentals

Moody Ambiance

Where great lighting, rich colours, and a desire for a chic, elevated vibe combine, we can create a really moody ambiance. I’m not sure what has spurred this trend on, but it’s here and definitely not going anywhere.

A few tips for achieving a moody ambiance: Lighting will be key. The overhead lights should be dimmed or off, with uplighting and spotlighting made a priority. Add in table lamps and candles to boost the ambiance.

Deep colours work really well to naturally lend a moody feel to a design, as do long tables and signature cocktails.

Sweet Kvitka

Rounded Shapes

Circular altars surrounded with florals, curved meandering aisles, round guest tables arranged in a serpentine shape, rounded die-cut wedding invitations or table numbers, or scalloped edges on a veil — what we’re looking for is ways to soften the hard edges that might feel a little too harsh.

Pattern Play

I know this is going to stress a lot of you out. But maximalism pattern play is a really fun trend that we’re going to see taking centre stage — but in larger markets. In Winnipeg, this is going to be really hard to accomplish because our rental options are so much more limited.

So how can you make this happen in a smaller town? Pattern play will be best accomplished through stationery and signage pieces, and bold colour florals/mismatched vessels. Throw a fun table number into the mix, and see what you can find for coloured glassware, and that’ll make a big difference!

Cottage + Granny Chic

I see the cottagecore trend of a few years ago moving more into a granny chic vibe, retaining those kind of sweet, old lady elements: nubby linens, soft floral patterns, pastels, woven or rattan textures (lamp shades, chair backs, and so on!).

Think charming, English countryside wedding. Like if Iris from “The Holiday” got married at her sweet little cottage.

Even better if you can hold your ceremony in an overgrown, outdoor ceremony, with a flowing dress with some lace touches, and mismatched ceramic vases.

Old World Opulance

This one comes to us from my friend Kayla at Kayla Lagos Weddings:

In 2025 we are seeing the revival of old world opulence and the Rococo era. Think, ultra feminine, pastel, Bridgerton garden party! For tablescapes we will continue to focus on gold and brass accents through cutlery, candlesticks, and dinnerware. Floral arrangements will be abundant in pastel colour palettes on guest tables and in ceremony spaces. We will see lots of intricate details like lace, bows, ruffles, pearls and ditsy floral prints in things like stationery, linens and accessories. Intricate piping on cakes and dessert tables, as well as ruffle cake layers is also continuing to trend. Linens will be very important this year in lots of draping and choosing tablecloths with florals, texture and pastel tones to bring the whole look together. In wedding attire the continuation of bows is important along with pearl accessories, coloured embroidery and drop waist gowns. We are so excited to see how this trend and these elements are interpreted in 2025!

Unique Draping

I’m straight up recycling this from last year because it’s not slowing down. 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.

Year in Review 2024

Brittany Mahood Photography

Whew. 2024 was amazing!

I’m pretty confident this is the longest wedding season I’ve had yet — late May through the end of November with very little slow time in the mix. It was also quite possibly the most beautiful season of all (though I probably say that every year!), but I can barely remember the earliest days of the season! Those May and June weddings seem like a lifetime ago.

I’m still waiting on a lot of galleries (if you’re a client and you’ve got your photos back, please share them with me!) but I hope to be sharing a lot of those images this winter to give newly engaged people a lot of ideas and inspiration.

---

A few Numbers to kick things off…

30 weddings (some super small, some very large!)

6 corporate events plus a handful of social events (birthday parties, bachelorette parties, bridal and baby showers!)

353 bunches of roses = over 8800 stems!

594 bunches of locally grown flowers = almost 6000 stems!

---

10th Anniversary!

2024 was not only another year filled with beautiful weddings, it was also my 10th business anniversary!

I genuinely don’t remember much about the early days of starting my business. I remember strategically planning out my very first website (I’m still proud of it!), and I remember connecting with my friend Britney Fache who ended up referring me about 25 clients that first year! I recall my first phone call with Kelly from Lilystone Gardens — I was so hopeful that I would be able to connect with a local flower grower but didn’t really know where to start, but Kelly was really the first to pursue growing flowers for wedding purposes, and that was such a blessing and really shaped my dedication to using locally grown flowers.

To celebrate my 10th anniversary in business, I ran a giveaway with 2 prizes — a custom veil from Cathy Wiebe Clothes (that bride is getting married next year!), and a content creation package from Brides Eye View. Kaylee won that, and it was SO amazing — here’s her video!

I definitely don’t remember writing this 5th anniversary blog post, though some of the dreams and plans that I had at that point have come true, some are still on the table, and some have just changed completely.

Over the years, I’ve committed to making my business as sustainable as possible, which entails having a beautiful rental collection instead of putting the onus on clients to purchase and provide vessels to me. It also entails me making as many sustainable business choices as possible — composting, recycling, using reusable materials, and eliminating floral foam as much as possible. I’m really proud of this work — some of it is harder to do than the alternative, but it’s worth it in the long run, of course!

The Whirlwind that was August

August 2024 was the busiest month of Stone House history. It was quite unreal, to be honest with you. Everything about it was amazing, but I was so looking forward to it being over!

We kicked things off with a destination wedding in Clear Lake (a full dive into that wedding is coming in the new year!) for an NHL player. I took a team of 4 of us up there, with 3 more women driving in from the surrounding area for the day. We celebrated with pizza from TR McKoy’s (my FAVE restaurant in Clear Lake!) and ended the wedding day at Elkhorn’s new Nordic spa (it was AMAZING).

Following that large wedding, we dove right away into our largest wedding of the year the next week. I think we had 4-10 people on our team for that week, with TONS and TONS of flowers and a killer hanging installation composed of 80 feet of floral coverage. Cannot wait to show you more from this!

Photos below: Brittany Mahood

We designed for 4 other weddings that month, each of which was completely different from the next and filled with gorgeous flowers and colours and TONS of locally grown product. And for the final wedding of the month, I was hired for both floral and event design and it was really beautiful.

Client Highlights

It’s incredibly exciting when my past clients are either part of the wedding party, or part of the family. It seems like this year, I got to see quite a lot of my past clients in wedding parties! Here are just a few :)

It Takes a Village

It’s not possible to do the weddings that we do completely on my own. I’m so grateful for the wonderful team that comes together to make your wedding dreams come true. I really love being able to control the overall design and logistics, while being able to trust these women to design in such a beautiful way.

And below are a few of the random spots where you might have found me this year: up on a 20 foot high scaffold, inside a dirty plinth that needed cleaning, and designing in (and on top of!) a pool!

continuing to level up

I’ve spoken at length before about why I think it’s important to continue pursuing education and design inspiration. I’m not a new kid on the block at this point, but I think it’s really valuable to continually be seeking out both inspiration and wisdom from others in my industry.

This spring, I travelled to Montreal to learn from 2 of my favourite designers, and found myself fully refreshed and inspired by doing so. Here’s a quick recap of that trip! It seems so long ago, but it really did give me a great start to the season.

I also invested in an online course to help me level up my visual proposals. It’s an aspect of my process that I love and that sets me apart from my competition, and I know my clients appreciate. I can’t wait to dig into this even more for my upcoming clients.

Room Reveals

I always love seeing these moments! The moment when you first see your wedding space, completely finished. Your dreaming has actually, finally, happened. It’s exciting!! For a lot of you, this moment won’t be caught on camera (a lot of logistical planning needs to happen to allow for this!) and those moments are just as sweet to me. Even if I’m standing in a pile of stems I’m in the midst of sweeping up, when you walk in and see it all, it’s so exciting.

In 2024, I was hired for multiple very large weddings with lots of production detail and processes to work through. I’m super proud of how I managed all of that! I really love the direction that Stone House has been growing, and I can’t wait to continue on this trajectory. While I will always love the smaller weddings, too, I really thrive on the logistics that are required for larger scale weddings and events.

And speaking of which…I will be hiring for a new position in 2025! I am not quite sure when I’ll post that announcement, as I’m still determining exactly what role(s) I want to fill, but if you’re interested in working with me, keep your eye out for that info!

---

I always like to promote some charitable offerings at the end of the year, in case any of you are looking for a great cause to donate to. Here’s a couple that I love:

Villages of Hope: Hope Packs

Villages of Hope is an amazing Canadian organization that partners with communities in the poorest nations in Africa, providing schools, shelter, safety, nutrition, healthcare, and above all, hope. Their Hope Packs are a super cost-effective way to make a huge difference for a child, and include books, toys, clothing, and treats. They’re only $25!

Mainstreet Project: Amazon Wishlist

The Mainstreet Project is a Winnipeg organization that serves our city’s most marginalized people, and with the Canada Post strike this year, they’re in a rougher spot than most years. Their Amazon wishlist is such an easy way to support them with the items they need, without needing to worry about Canada Post.

---

So what’s coming up for the next few years? That’s a good question! I’ve got one really big idea…but I’m just not quite sure if it’s what I really want. Anyone know how to figure out the direction you really want to go? (that, and a few million dollars are needed, too…)

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” Colossians 3:23

If you’re interested in following along for more regular updates, I post on Instagram every few days with snippets of my wedding season, featured weddings, and behind the scenes of my work!

The Winnipeg wedding industry is an amazing industry to be a part of. There are a lot of great people, working to make sure that all of your weddings come together wonderfully. There is also a lot of creativity and professionalism, a lot of knowledge and excellent service. It’s an honour to be a part of that. Thank you to all of my colleagues for making every wedding such a great work environment.

Modern Garden Wedding at The White Poplar

I absolutely LOVE working at The White Poplar and I will shout it from the rooftops! So when Tori and Ian inquired about their wedding (more than a year and a half in advance!) I was already pumped. Then they brought on the best vendor team, and a gorgeous design plan, and I was in wedding design heaven.

Tori has a really classic style, and we wanted to meet it with modern sensibility — so a crisp palette of black and white was chosen, with warm taupes and mixed greens added.

Photos by Brittany Mahood Photography

“Lauren, I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful work. It was truly better than I could have imagined! I spent so much time on the dance floor just staring at the arch, it was insane!! Thank you thank you thank you 💕”

— Tori and Ian

There’s something about the shape of Tori’s beautiful gown that reminds me of Maria from The Sound of Music. It is so refined! Her pearl-dotted hair and veil were the perfect finishing touches. And isn’t the green tone they bridesmaids chose gorgeous? This was a September wedding, so we definitely didn’t have “fall” leaves yet but the richness of the green was very seasonally appropriate.

Tori requested a classic cascading bouquet, and I initially made it WAY too big because the flowers were just so lush and divine. Late summer is the perfect time for locally grown flowers, and we had them in abundance for Tori.

If you’ve been around here a while, you know that I’m a lover of lots of colour. That’s just my personal preference, but part of that is also because a lot of white weddings look the same. Designers tend to gravitate toward their few favourite ingredients, so it’s tricky to see how to pull through the client’s individual style along with the designer’s style.

I actually designed quite a lot of white weddings this year, and I made it a mission to make them each unique. My secret weapon: locally grown flowers. Tori’s wedding had SO many.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: white lisianthus, roses, dahlias, anemones, sweet pea, and snowberry combined with olive and stephanotis vines.

One of many reasons why The Poplar is an incredible place to get married: the photo ops! The natural setting is really stunning.

This ceremony because such a beautiful focal point for the day! Their service was personal and relaxed, and of course, I loved the florals. When your backdrop is a wall of trees, we need to be careful with a green and white palette, so that the arch you’re investing money into doesn’t get blend right into the scenery.

The couple loved the idea of an asymmetrical 2 piece arch, with full white and green coverage. Gorgeous — but also, very easy to end up looking like every other white and green wedding. It’s always a priority for me to make each wedding look unique, so I decided to focus on selecting ingredients that would feel fresh.

For any white wedding, I almost always use playa blanca roses. They open up HUGE and have such a gorgeous shape. But again, even though they’re the perfect rose, I needed to add something that would be unique. So, I cut and dried locally grown green hydrangea — they dry exactly like they look fresh, so I didn’t have to worry about a water source. We clustered these in different groupings along the arch structure, and then focused on lots of white lisianthus (locally grown, whenever I can get them!), the roses, white delphinium for a few fluttery touches, and some clustered white ball dahlias.

We added 2 large arrangements at the back of the aisle to tie the entire space together.

Reception time! The building at The White Poplar is so great — those large front doors, the patio leading to the ceremony site, and all those clear walls make for a great blank space.

The first thing guests saw when they entered was this beautiful seating chart, where we repurposed the aisle flowers. The tables flowed from there, with long tables lining the centre of the room and round tables along the outsides. A sweetheart table was positioned in front of the fireplace.

Soiree Event Planning chose the perfect matte black flatware to accent the industrial black chairs, and a gorgeous dark olive napkin. For the long tables, we clustered petite arrangements in black and grey smoke glass vases (all white, mostly locally grown florals!), and added in ribbed grey smoke glass votives along with soft green taper candles.

The round tables featured a fuller floral arrangement in a matte black vase, complimented by assorted sizes and styles of candles for a more collected but still modern look.

Tip for weddings at The White Poplar: affix your place cards to your menus, and tuck them into your napkins. It can be very windy out there!

Tori and Ian literally told me that flowers weren’t a huge priority for them, but what was a priority was the overall design, and making sure that everything was the appropriate scale and just “felt right.” We went through a few revisions of the floral plan to make sure that we had it right, and I think it came together pretty perfectly between the simpler but still interesting floral centrepieces and the way we repurposed the ceremony florals.

Modern Architectural Inspired Wedding at the Leaf

It’s finally time to share SO MUCH DETAIL from this architecturally-inspired editorial I designed at The Leaf!

My vision was something chic, sculptural, and heavily influenced by the use of a single type of flower (in this case, white lilies). The slatted wood wall in the mezzanine area of The Leaf was absolute perfect backdrop for the strong lines I wanted to create.

I’m going to start with a very quick visual overview of the design elements, and then get down into some nitty gritty of the pricing for you!

Photos by Keila Marie Photography

Aren’t these details just perfection! I’m so grateful to all of the wedding professionals who helped me bring this to life. It takes a team, friends!

The tabletop was a labour of love to design. Pretty early on, I decided that I wanted to use Planned Perfectly’s toffee linen and Union Table’s matte black flatware with ribbed glassware, but I hemmed and hawed over the place settings. I’m so glad I chose the speckled plates because they add such fun!

Multiple sculptural floral centrepieces are featured down the table, accented with ribbed olive green candles, black trays with fresh fruit, and chains of hyacinth blooms, which added some really fun, modern whimsy.

How much do you think this bridal bouquet costs?

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients:

Freesia
Tweedia
Hellebore
Mini Cymbidium Orchids
Allium
Looped Hyacinth Chains
And finished with hand died silk ribbon from Tono and Co

BRIDAL BOUQUET COST: $435

This bouquet was a bit of a trial for me — because it wasn’t at all what I had planned on. Almost none of the flowers that I ordered for it actually came in! I envisioned a bouquet that was on the smaller side, with a chic, highly textured design, with these hyacinth chains as a major focal point. That’s basically the only element that came together the way I had originally intended.

That being said, sometimes we have to roll with what we can, especially when we’re working with live, perishable product! The lime cymbidium orchids were perfect for tying through that bright chartreuse tone I needed, and while I didn’t plan on using the white freesia, I loved the warm yellow in the centre and the linear stem shape.

Most of my bridal bouquets aren’t this high cost, but the ingredients I used are mostly premium product and that comes with a higher price tag.

I love wandering around the Tropical Biome at the Leaf, but I didn’t want Erika’s portraits to feel too “wedding photos at the Leaf.” Keila took my vision of clean, bright, fine art meets tropical and played up the atmosphere and the way it supported Erika’s modern column gown, rather than going too typical and obvious.

This is the Aesling Sagrada gown. It’s chic, minimal lines paired with the dramatic (detachable!) cape is what drew me to it. It was perfect for this architectural vision!

Get the Look

The arch was my personal focal point; I wanted something strong, something modern, and choosing to focus on just one ingredient type is not at all common, but forcing myself to stick to just one element allowed me to really play up the star shaped flower.

I tucked in a few double lilies for a softer texture here and there, which were absolutely divine.

Add in a set of minimal black chivari chairs, and you’ve got quite a cool ambiance thanks to that slatted wall and lily arch combo! If there’s a piece of architectural interest at your venue, consider how you can play it up.

THIS CAKE. Jenna did an amazing job, as always!! This wafer paper design feels feminine, structural, and really strong all at the same time. I honestly cringe at the thought of how long this must have taken her to make! The vertically applied wafer paper is reminiscent of that slatted wood wall I took so much inspiration from, and I love the way she curved it around the cake, and added some delicate movement to it. Cake perfection.

I remember gasping when I opened up the stationery suite from Rae + Dot. They used a speciality printing technique called blind debossing to add a three-dimensional ribbed texture to the paper, again perfectly hearkening back to the slatted wood wall that I love so much. I had requested a patterned envelope liner, and suggested that an architectural take on a lily bloom would be cool. The line drawing with the warm toffee paper was AMAZING.

Isn’t Erika absolutely gorgeous? She ALWAYS is, by the way. It’s kind of irritating how beautiful she is. Jessica Kmiec went pink and glowy on her, and Bailey pulled her hair back with these striking pearl hair pins. Chic, modern, goddess. Yeah baby.

Erika also helped me set the table and helped me clean up, and I’m so grateful to you 😘

Hire a Talented Wedding Floral and Event Designer in Winnipeg

Not to toot my own horn (too much), but I happen to be really good at this. I’d be thrilled to design an incredible atmosphere and accompanying florals for your wedding.

Moody Fashion-Forward Wedding at the Hotel Fort Garry

Being part of Sarah and Scott’s moody, fashion-forward wedding at the Fort Garry Hotel last fall was such a delight.

The flowers were not a huge priority for her — and while most of my couples do put a large emphasis on their florals, I know that many couples out there are in the same place as Sarah! And that’s totally, totally fine.

So instead of doing florals all over the place, we kept a close eye on their budget and chose multi-purpose pieces that would highlight a few key areas, and let Sarah’s fashion be the central design moment.

Photos by Michael & Melanie

Sarah wanted to go smaller and simpler for her bridal bouquet, keeping it a little more chic and not take away from her dress.

Bridal Bouquet Ingredients: baby’s breath, cream and white spray roses, and playa blanca roses.

I don’t normally post this many portraits and fashion shots, but this gallery from Michael & Melanie is just SO gorgeous. Sarah is all about the fashion and her bridal looks were absolutely divine, so I needed to share a bit more than usual.

The overskirt? The perfect sleeve length? The way she just shimmered? Amazzzing. It’s an Eva Lendel gown, that fate lined up perfectly to make sure she found, on a pre-loved wedding dress site while she was in London, England, of all places. Amazing!!

“Anyone who was on my bridal era journey with me from the beginning knew I didn’t want a lot of flowers initially, but then I found Stone House Creative and immediately changed my mind. Lauren brings a new vision and creativity to this industry I haven’t seen a match for. Her ability to execute someone’s vision is incredible. Thank you for creating such a beautiful backdrop for our celebrations of love.” — Sarah

This ceremony setup has since become one of my most-requested designs by other couples, which is super fun! Sarah wasn’t quite sure what she wanted, but after deciding that she DID want to go with floral decor and tossing around a few ideas, she felt that she needed to reign in the budget. It was actually her idea to repurpose the tall centrepieces and arrange them as an altar around them.

We rented in the mixed clear and gold pedestals, and while we were setting everything up, I decided to call an audible and remove some of the tall stands so the florals were resting right on the pedestals. This added a lot more dimension, created a more designed feeling, and a feeling that that they were floating.

The tall florals were brought over to the guest tables at the reception, paired up with shorter floral arrangements in gold-rimmed vases. I had no idea that the Fort Garry had reupholstered their chairs in this pink tone, but it was lucky! They actually worked perfectly with Sarah’s overall design.

Winnipeg friends will know. Jeanne’s cake, anyone? (I’ve personally never been that into them…aside from the chocolate shavings, which I love)

Sarah’s got a pretty cool story about her second dress — she had admired this designer for years (Valdrin Sahiti, known for dressing Khloe Kardashian and Beyonce!!), so she flew to their headquarters in Kosovo (after travelling through Europe to try on wedding dresses everywhere she could find), and met with the design team. She then got hit with a wave of indecision, and couldn’t decide on anything that she loved! She ended up coming home, but kept thinking it over…and finally, figured out the custom designed gown that would be perfect for her. The designers shipped it to her just 8 days before the wedding, complete with 1000+ hand-sewn feathers onto the skirt of the dress.
