The countdown to wedding season is on, and as flower farmers, we’re feeling the buzz of excitement as we gear up for another year of love stories told through our blooms. While florists and designers prepare their grand creations, we’ve spent months nurturing the fields, knowing that our hard work will soon grace wedding aisles and reception tables. In 2025, the wedding floral scene is all about bold colors, creative designs, and meaningful choices—and it all starts with what we grow.
Unlike florists who think in terms of wedding and planning seasons, we farmers live by the rhythm of the earth, working through spring, summer, fall, and winter to provide fresh, seasonal blooms. This year, we’re seeing some exciting trends sprouting up—from unexpected color palettes to eco-conscious blooms—all ready to take weddings to the next level. Here’s a look at what’s trending from our perspective:
FLOWERS
Eco-Chic Blooms: Fresh, Seasonal, and Sustainable
More couples are asking for locally grown, in-season flowers, and we’re thrilled to see this focus on sustainability. Choosing flowers from nearby farms not only supports local agriculture but also ensures the freshest blooms with a minimal carbon footprint. We’re seeing a rise in demand for region-specific varieties, making it a great time to showcase what’s naturally beautiful in our areas.
Dahlias Reign Supreme
Late summer and fall weddings continue to favor dahlias for their lush, show-stopping appeal. While classic varieties are still a hit, we’re excited to introduce newer varieties with distinct hues and textures. Growing dahlias is always rewarding, knowing how much joy they bring to couples on their special day.
Old Favorites, New Twists
There’s something magical about seeing heirloom flowers make a comeback. Farmers like us are delighted to grow vintage varieties of carnations, chrysanthemums, and zinnias that have been reimagined with modern aesthetics. Whether it’s smoky lavender heirloom chrysanthemums or new pastel zinnias, these blooms blend nostalgia with fresh elegance, offering something unique for today’s weddings.
Personalized Floral Selections
With couples coming to the table with highly curated Pinterest boards, the pressure is on to deliver specific, often rare blooms. Garden roses, peonies, and ranunculus remain favorites, but we’re seeing increasing requests for specialty varieties like butterfly ranunculus and cosmos. Growing these flowers requires careful planning and a little extra love, but seeing them transformed into personalized arrangements makes it all worth it.
COLORS
Earthy Neutrals and Complex Tones
This year’s wedding palettes are taking inspiration from nature’s own colors. These earthy tones pair beautifully with soft pastels like dusty blue and peach. As farmers, we love growing blooms in these shades because they bring a natural, grounded elegance to any design.
Vivid Color Statements
In contrast to the earthy tones, bold pops of color are making waves. Vibrant shades like coral, magenta, and mustard yellow are being used as accents to add energy and flair. For us, this means growing eye-catching varieties that can deliver those perfect bursts of color florists are looking for.
Champagne Meets Metallics
Gold and other metallic accents are being paired with warm neutrals to add a touch of understated glamor. We’re noticing more interest in blooms that can complement these tones, like creamy roses or soft beige dahlias, creating a luxurious yet natural vibe.
STYLE
Asymmetry and Movement in Bouquets
The trend toward asymmetrical, free-flowing bouquets is a dream come true for flower farmers. These designs highlight the natural beauty of each bloom, and we love seeing how florists use trailing greenery and cascading flowers to create that “fresh from the field” look. It’s a style that truly honors the work we put into growing each stem.
Innovative Floral Installations
Big, bold floral installations are becoming a staple at weddings. From hanging floral clouds to aisle meadows, these designs require a wide variety of flowers and greenery. We’re planting with these large-scale creations in mind, knowing that what we grow will help create unforgettable moments.
Wearable Florals Reimagined
Floral accessories are becoming more creative, with hairpins, earrings, and wrist corsages stepping into the spotlight. Grooms are also getting in on the trend with unique boutonnieres featuring unexpected elements like grasses and pods. As farmers, we’re thrilled to grow the specialty blooms that make these pieces stand out.
Effortless Elegance: Simplified Tablescapes
Minimalist centerpieces are in, with a focus on texture and form. Dried grasses, seed pods, and sculptural branches are making their way onto tables, often paired with candles for an elegant yet understated look. Growing these textural elements is a rewarding part of farming, knowing they add depth and character to the final design.
Flower-Topped Cakes and Desserts
Edible flowers are continuing to trend, and it’s always fun to see our blooms adorning wedding cakes and dessert tables. Whether it’s fresh petals on a cake or tiny edible flowers on macarons, this trend brings a touch of whimsy to the sweetest part of the celebration.
Looking Ahead
As we look toward 2025, it’s clear that flower farmers play a vital role in shaping wedding trends. Couples are seeking authenticity, sustainability, and beauty with meaning—all things that start right here on the farm. It’s exciting to be part of this journey, growing the blooms that will become lifelong memories. What trends are you seeing in your area? We’d love to hear—share your thoughts in the comments below!
