Five Wedding Flower Trends for 2024

Five Wedding Flower Trends for 2024

Floral arrangements add so much to the ambiance and character of a wedding. From providing pops of color, comfortable whimsy, and even sometimes favors for guests to bring home, flowers are one of the most important pieces of planning your dream wedding. Here are five wedding flower trends we love for 2024.

Bold Color

One of the most notable trends we have seen dominating the wedding industry recently is bold color. People are gravitating toward eye-catching and vibrant hues in all of their arrangements. Bright reds, pinks, yellows, and blues are taking over in beautiful bundles of all shades and shapes; the key is simply saturation! If bright color isn’t quite your cup of tea, you can still achieve the same striking affect in more natural and darker tones. Try a deep emerald, indigo, or burgundy. The depth of the color is what sets this trend apart, and creates a stunning contrast against a beautiful white or neutral backdrop.

Texture

Textured bouquets are the latest trend alongside bold color. Florists are designing whimsical arrangements that emphasize a variety of flowers and foliage of all shapes and sizes to create stunning visual interest in modern floral bouquets. Texture draws in the eyes and creates exciting movement in an otherwise stationary piece. Contrasting long, dripping vine-foliage such as eucalyptus interspersed with lanky lupine, tall grasses and short, plump flowers can create a visual miniature fireworks display in your hands.

Posy Bouquets

Posy Bouquets are smaller, round flower arrangements that can be held in one hand. Usually they have far fewer flowers than traditional bridal or bridesmaids bouquets. These bouquets are sleek and elegant while saving your budget compared to larger floral arrangements. While a bride may opt to carry the posy bouquet for herself, another great option is to swap the traditional bridesmaids bouquet for the posy! This can save your budget while also creating a beautiful contrast between the bridesmaids’ arrangements and the bride’s bouquet.

Another great option to watch for in 2024 is the single stem. Rather than a large and costly arrangement, brides are opting for the simple elegance of a single flower to carry for themselves and/or their bridesmaids. This can be a smaller favorite flower or a larger statement piece while still eliminating the extra bulk that comes with a full bouquet.

Potted Plants

Potted plants are offering a new and unique trend in the 2024 wedding scene. While potted plants may not be the most cost effective option, they are a more eco-friendly and sustainable option for centerpieces and statements on your big day, especially if you or your guests have a green thumb! Potted plants make a great party favor for guests to take home, care for and remember your special day by. Potted plants can range from trees, succulents, ferns, and fresh herbs to flowers. When selecting the right plants for your wedding, be sure to consider the scent of live plants; herbs may be a great option for repurposing, but they may also smell stronger than other choices. Greenery can add an elegant rustic and woodsy vibe to your wedding. Opting for potted plant statement pieces does not have to mean your big day is overwhelmed by greenery, either. Orchids add a beautiful pop of color and are a stunning floral option as well.

Floral Pocket Squares

An up-and-coming trend we love for 2024 is the floral pocket square. It is a unique and dapper substitution for the common pocket square and traditional boutonniere in the groom’s suit. While a boutonniere is pinned to the groom’s lapel, and the pocket square adorns the upper chest, the floral pocket square combines the best of both worlds and is a modern and fresh twist on old traditions. The floral pocket square creates a beautiful consistency between the groom and his partner, matching colors and textures between two lovers on their special day.

These Five Wedding Flower Trends for 2024 are some of our favorite stylish, unique and bold ideas for setting your wedding apart from the rest. Whether you want to add a splash of color, create visual interest, stick to a budget without sacrificing style, emphasize sustainability, or create a cohesive image between you and your partner, these trends can be adopted and adapted to suit your needs.
