In Bloom
The top wedding flower trends for 2024
Flowers are a huge part of wedding styling – and they have been for centuries. One of the easiest ways to bring your colour scheme and wedding decor to life is through your wedding flowers. As we head into this year’s wedding season, we’re looking at new ways to show your personality through your choice of blooms. From sustainable choices to flower crowns for your cake, here are the top flower trends for 2024…
Bright Bouquets
Statement bouquets filled with tons of colour are set to be a top wedding flower trend for 2024. Bold, unexpected colour palettes are stealing the spotlight, with daring combinations like fuchsia and orange. Alternatively, choose one bright colour and ask your florist to incorporate various shades of that colour to create an ombré floral arrangement.
Bright blooms are both fun and beautiful. Inject lots of colour into your floral arrangements, being selective with the right hues and contrasts, to create a merry atmosphere and a day filled with statement style.
Floral Hoops
Wedding rings have no beginning and no end, symbolising your everlasting love. Take the endless ring as inspiration for your flowers and giving your blooms a modern twist with floral hoops.
Style your ceremony with a huge floral hoop backdrop or create a feature wall with small, cascading floral rings. Bridesmaids could carry floral hoops instead of posies as they walk down the aisle and your cake could be displayed inside a floral hoop cake stand.
Single Stems
Sometimes less is more. This year we will see couples steering away from elaborate table arrangements in favour of minimalist elegance with single stems displayed in simple vases.
Whether it’s a solitary rose, peony, or ranunculus, choose an elegant bloom and give it the limelight it deserves by displaying it on its own in a bud vase. Dot a few vases in the centre of the tables to create minimalistic centrepieces.
Bridesmaids could carry statement single-stem flowers too. Look to large flowers like hydrangea or protea for maximum impact.
Seasonal Flowers
Embrace the beauty of each season by incorporating locally sourced and seasonal flowers into your wedding decor. Seasonal blooms are set to be a leading wedding flower trend for 2024 and beyond, as couples try to reduce their spending and reduce the environmental impact of transporting flowers.
From fragrant summer roses to the rich tones of autumnal dahlia, seasonal flowers not only reflect the time of year but support local growers too.
Wedding Cake Flower Crowns
While flower crowns still have a place at a rustic countryside wedding, when we talk about flower crowns in 2024 we are actually talking about a flower crown for your cake! Instead of covering your cake tiers in fresh or sugar flowers, ask your florist to provide the stems to put into a wreath around the base of the cake.
Cake wreaths are set to be a huge wedding flower trend this year. An entirely new way to decorate and enhance your wedding cake, this style is both romantic and Instagram-worthy!
Baskets of Blooms
Embracing a rustic and natural aesthetic, baskets filled with blooms are making a comeback in 2024. From aisle decor to table centrepieces, these charming arrangements exude a relaxed vibe, perfect for outdoor or boho-themed weddings.
Opt for woven baskets overflowing with seasonal flowers for a timeless and organic feel. We especially like this trend for autumnal weddings!
Sustainable Wedding Flowers
With environmental consciousness on the rise, sustainable wedding flower options continue to gain popularity in 2024. From foam-free arrangements to potted plants that can be taken home after the celebrations, couples are opting for eco-friendly alternatives that minimise waste.
Choosing florists who prioritise sustainability ensures that your wedding flowers leave a lasting impression without leaving a heavy environmental footprint.
Tactile Textures
Whether you opt for a neutral or a bold colour scheme, texture-rich arrangements are set to be a big wedding flower trend for the year ahead. From cascading installations to whimsical bouquets, incorporate an eclectic mix of blooms and foliage – even things like berries and feathers – to create visually stunning displays.
Look to blooms like frilly ranunculus, delicate anemone or fluffy astilbes to incorporate diverse textures and add depth and dimension to wedding florals.
The wedding flower trends this year are all about embracing creativity, sustainability and individuality. Whether you’re drawn to minimalistic single-stem displays or the rustic charm of baskets of blooms, there’s a floral trend to suit every couple’s unique style and vision.
