Carolin Ruggaber, For Love and Lemons
From the bouquet to the centerpieces, florals are often the focal point of a wedding's décor. With countless varieties, they have the power to set the mood and atmosphere of your celebration. As Natalia from Otro Cantar so eloquently states, "This season, we believe the trend will shift from minimalism to fully embracing maximalism—more is more! Expect to see vibrant colors, diverse textures, and an array of flower varieties combined to create lush, dramatic arrangements. However, minimalism will still have its place, albeit with a fresh perspective: instead of abundant florals, the focus will be on fewer, but highly unique, rare blooms with striking forms." While we’ve already covered the top floral trends for 2025, we’re now touching on the most popular blooms for the year ahead—and how to beautifully incorporate them into your wedding.
Black Calla Lilies
Last year, we saw the white calla lily take over our Pinterest boards and weddings alike. This year, as wedding palettes shift into moodier hues, the black calla lily has begun to make its way into elegant, minimalist bouquets. As predicted by florist Jess from Sassafras Wedding, "While feature installations and floral backdrops remain key, many brides are opting to hold a single stem or a minimal gathering of stems rather than a traditional bouquet. Popular blooms for this kind of design include calla lilies, arum lilies, anthuriums, phalaenopsis orchids, and even a single rose or peony bloom. Typically tied with a slim trailing ribbon, the effect is understated and effortlessly chic." Whether you choose a striking single stem or a full bouquet of these moody blooms, black calla lilies prove to be a chic and timeless option for brides seeking something bold yet elegant.

Lotus Pods
As tropical varieties have made their way into trendy arrangements, so has the lotus pod. With its unique, sculptural shape and earthy texture, the lotus pod adds a quirky, unexpected touch to centerpiece arrangements. Its natural seed-filled design creates depth and contrast, making it a perfect complement to lush florals, fruit and vegetables, or minimalist, modern tablescapes.

Anthuriums
Anthuriums are the ultimate versatile and stylish bloom that never fails to make a statement. With their glossy, sculptural petals and stunning color range, they’re perfect for everything from bold, freestanding stems to sleek monochromatic arrangements. Their heart-shaped blooms add instant drama, while their rich reds, soft pastels, and even moody brown tones bring a contemporary edge to any arrangement. Whether you’re keeping it simple with a single stem or going all out with a cluster for maximum impact, anthuriums effortlessly elevate wedding florals to a whole new level of sophistication.

Red Roses
Red roses have long stood as a symbol of romance, but in 2025, they’re taking on a fresh, modern place in wedding décor. Instead of traditional lush bouquets, couples are opting for single-stem arrangements, letting the beauty of each bloom shine. Effortlessly elegant in slender bud vases along tablescapes or as sculptural installations that span across the floor, florist Babel Bloom also recommend trying potted rose varieties too for a romantic touch "When the ceremony requires a lot of greenery, using potted plants is a smart option; it creates different heights and fills larger spaces, and can be reused if well cared for."

Orchids
Orchids bring a bold, unique, and sophisticated touch to the bridal bouquet, elevating wedding florals with their striking shapes and rich hues. From deep jewel tones to minimalist whites and pastels, these blooms add an element of luxury and elevated drama. In 2025, we expect to see these beloved flowers incorporated more into bridal bouquets—whether in romantic cascading arrangements or paired with other tropical elements for a high-impact look.

Moss
Moss is making a surprising yet impactful statement in 2025 wedding florals, bringing a lush, organic touch to large-scale installations. Often being incorporated into large-scale installations on the floor, its soft, earthy texture creates an immersive, enchanting atmosphere. This rich green plant adds depth and dimension without overpowering other floral elements, making it a favorite for couples seeking a natural, effortlessly romantic aesthetic.

Cotinus
Perfectly described by Leone from Leone Floral Studio, "The cotinus is a very fluffy and wonderfully strange flower. Its colors are beautifully organic, ranging from bright hues like lime green and dusty pink to deep burgundy. I often use them to create density on low arrangements." With its wispy, cloud-like plumes and rich, moody hues, cotinus is a dreamy choice for abstract installations and avant-garde arrangements. Its airy texture adds depth and movement, making it perfect for statement floral clouds, unconventional arches, or artistic centerpieces.

Red Grapes
As couples stray away from typical florals, unconventional arrangements featuring fruits and vegetables have started adorning tablescapes—and we’re all for it! With their deep, wine-toned hues, red grapes in particular bring an artful and opulent touch to tablescapes when clustered amongst candelabras and textured linens. Whether spilling from ornate compotes or arranged alongside dark foliage, they make a stunning, unexpected addition to wedding décor.

Dried Grasses
Dried grasses and foraged textures are taking center stage in 2025, bringing effortless texture and movement to any floral arrangement or installation. With neutral tones and an airy, overgrown structure, they are the perfect complement to both minimalist and bohemian designs. Sometimes paired with fresh florals for contrast or used alone in sculptural, textural displays, they add an ethereal, windswept quality.

Jasmine & Hyacinth
Jasmine and hyacinth are the perfect choices for dreamy, cascading bouquets, bringing a sense of romance and whimsy to 2025 brides. As a long-time staple in Eastern weddings, particularly in South Asian cultures, both blooms can be used to create garlands that are woven into bouquets. With their delicate trailing vines that create soft movement, create an ethereal and fresh effect, ideal for brides seeking an effortlessly chic look.
