Every couple deserves a beautiful wedding, and nothing makes ceremonies more stunning than wedding flowers. Countless flower types, styles, and colors can make coming to a decision difficult. The following trends have made many gorgeous wedding appearances this year, and may give you a few ideas to start off or even inspire your own designs.

This Year’s Top Trends for Wedding Flowers

1. Wild Styles

Rustic, natural themes are currently popular in décor, and they’ve made their way into weddings as well. Wildflowers, berries, pine cones, and lily grass are just a few of the many ways to give your ceremony and reception a cozy, countryside feel. These are especially suited for outdoor summer and fall weddings.

2. Hanging Flowers

Hanging your wedding flowers from the ceiling by ribbons, chandeliers, or pots gives the venue a truly mystical feel. You can mix and match different types to create colorful overhead flower arrangements, or stick with a single choice bloom. This trend draws the eye and ensures every inch of your ceremony is picturesque.

3. Ultra Violet

The color of 2018 is Ultra Violet, so celebrate your wedding this year with bright, vivid shades of purple. Whether you’re walking a purple bouquet down the aisle or standing underneath a vibrant lavender arch, this bold hue is sure to attract every guest’s eye, so use this color for focal points.

4. Orchids

These stylish blooms are sophisticated yet versatile. From tropical blues to soft, pastel pinks, it’s easy to find orchids to suit your color scheme, which is why they’re a top pick for 2018 weddings. You can expect to see them blending flawlessly with roses and hydrangeas, or standing solo in their own striking display.

5. Minimalism

Modern, minimalist centerpieces and displays are big this year. If you’re not one for grandeur, this may be the trend for you. Think simple glass or monochrome vases adorned with one or two stems of your favorite flowers. Blooms with long, sturdy stems—such as craspedia, dahlias, and pincushion flowers—work best for this arrangement.
