Trends for 2026
As 2026 approaches we are getting really excited for some of the upcoming trends and color palettes. We are planning some really lush floral designs, and looking forward to weddings rich in textures and fabrics that will give us a lot to play with. It’s impossible to pick a favorite! But ok, if we have to, here are my personal favorite trends upcoming in 2026.
Wild Grassy Meadow: aka growing aisle
Like stepping straight into a meadow, this trend creates an immersive ceremony space that feels alive. Using airy grasses, wispy florals, and soft textures, a growing aisle gives the illusion that your flowers are naturally sprouting up around you. The organic silhouettes create movement and dimension that look stunning from any angle and photograph beautifully for years to come. It’s one of my favorite styles to design because it showcases some of the unique and special flowers that we grow on the farm.

Woven Grass Arrangements, Moss, and Texture
Brides that want their wedding to instantly feel ‘editorial’, say no more. Modern, and textural, this subtle way to add depth and dimension adds visual interest, becoming an organic sculpture. I love playing with the structure and shape while keeping the look natural and effortless, all without relying on traditional blooms. They pair beautifully with delicate and dainty flowers, or bold statement blooms like orchids which add a striking contrast. This approach lets the materials lead, so the design becomes a true piece of art.

One of our favorite boutonnieres to date! The texture from the pieris japonica and the dogwood made it extra special.
Provencal Garden
A romantic, timeless design, the Provencal Garden trend is hard to beat. Lush, flowing arrangements with natural forms create a sense of abundance without feeling fussy. Trailing vines, delicate blooms, and touches of wild or edible elements give that fresh, just-picked garden vibe. Garden style designs pair beautifully with pastel palettes as well as brighter, sunnier tones. It highlights flowers with unique shapes and textures and allows me to work with the landscape and natural features of a venue to create a cohesive setting.

Color Clusters and Monochromatic Designs
For couples who want bold, high-impact floral statements, designs using color clusters, or monochromatic palettes are a perfect choice. By grouping blooms in pockets of color, layering different shades, or creating subtle ombré transitions, you can set the tone for the entire space while keeping the look modern and visually striking. Using multiple shapes and textures adds layers of interest and introduces different elements, making the overall design feel elegant. Carefully chosen blooms feel opulent when arranged thoughtfully, allowing every stem to make an impact. This approach works beautifully for bouquets, installations, or table arrangements and allows for creative layering and repetition that really stands out in photos.
Fresh and modern designs are stronger when colors are clustered.

No matter the trend, the key this season is intentionality. With thoughtful placement, cohesive layering, and focusing on elements of texture and form, you can create arrangements that feel unforgettable and perfectly suited to your wedding day.
