Bridal bouquets
What’s hot for bridal bouquets this year? We love when couples bring something personal to their florals for their day, not a Pinterest board, but a true representation of them.
Are couples choosing classic or loose, natural styles? We are seeing a move towards more sculptural bouquets featuring just a few statement blooms. There is a move towards teardrop shapes and cascades, but with a minimalist interpretation.
Which flowers and colours are trending? White will always be popular, they are classical and work well with all styles. We love when we get to work with colour, bold terracotta’s and burgundy or poppy sorbet tones have been popular.
Reception tables
What’s trending for table centrepieces? The European Influenced styling, beautiful linens and ribbon tied place cards or menus. I think it’s about the layers of texture that give an elevated, cohesive look. A few small but abundant bud vases can be added, or small nested arrangements which add to the look but don’t overwhelm.
Are floral runners or garlands on tables making a comeback? Depending on the venue and the overall theme, floral garlands can look great, again it is about the feel the couple wants to achieve. We are still seeing ceiling installs in some venues and an abundance of blooms and bar florals.
Any bold textures or unexpected pairings you’re seeing? We are still seeing fruit styling on tables which adds an interesting element to the table and flowers. Again the layer of textures with linens, glassware, candles adds to the florals arrangements.
Ceremony statements
What are the must-have show-stopping pieces? Ceremony flowers are a brilliant way to frame the space, they may be free standing or placed on plinths to add height. Sculptural grasses are trending and can be a really different way to create something unique. En Masse florals, just concentrating on two or three flowers, is also a way of adding a “wow” factor.
Flower arches, hanging arrangements, or something new?
Flower arches are still popular in winery and river venues, but not just the traditional shape, we have designed many on a triangle arbour which just gives a different look. I think we will continue to see the nested floral meadow for spring 2026.
Symmetry or asymmetry — what’s in style? Asymmetry works well with plinths, giving different heights and nested ground florals to balance the design. Usually with an arbour we would always have an asymmetrical design, heavier on the left side and a smaller piece on the right.
How do florists make ceremony pieces truly memorable? By designing seasonally and intentionally, taking into account the venue space and couple. By creating these as a focal we can create an impact at various points throughout the ceremony.
Trends and tips
How are couples balancing style and budget?
We will always suggest moving florals to the reception makes the most of the budget. We might suggest smaller arrangements, like bud vases for the reception tables,. Depending on the reception style, sometimes we don’t need to do too much there.
What trends are about to take off next season? Petite bouquets with a few hero flowers or sculptural bouquets, again relying on just a few flowers to create something a little different.
How do social media platforms influence floral choices? Unfortunately, social media can give unrealistic expectations, we don’t know what image has been altered. Trust your florist with the information they give. They will have years of experience and training and have worked with flowers during the seasons. I always refer to the inspiration, as just that, Inspiration, we can never replicate other work.
Any advice for couples who want unique floral designs?
Take inspiration from Pinterest or other sources, but let your florist use their expertise to design something that will be unique to you. Work with a colour pallet that compliments the bridal party.
Anything you would like to add? We like to do a consultation to get a discuss the vision for the day and any details we need to know, bridal party numbers, who and what needs flowers at the venue. Having delivered wedding flowers from Mitchelton to Moama, we have a good understating of various venues and locations. Contact us through website form or call the shop to have a chat.
