By Safeway Glenmore Landing

From bold hues to eco-chic centrepieces, our on-trend wedding flowers and bouquets are blooming with inspiration.

(Calgary) – Flowers are the heartbeat of your celebration, weaving together emotion, artistry and ambiance. Their scent sparks nostalgia, their colours set the mood and their textures add depth, turning ordinary spaces into something extraordinary.

As weddings and milestone events evolve, so does floral design—2025 is all about bold expression, unexpected pairings, and a deeper commitment to sustainability. Today’s blooms are more than décor; they make a statement, marking the significance of a moment and immersing your guests in an experience that feels curated and unforgettable. From striking installations to intimate wedding bouquets, this year’s wedding flower trends promise to leave a lasting impression.

Wedding Flowers: Four Budding Floral Trends

1. Locally Grown and Sustainable Blooms
Eco-conscious couples can say “I do” to sustainability, choosing locally sourced flowers that reduce carbon footprints while supporting local growers. Organic, in-season wedding flowers—think peonies, ranunculus and dahlias—arranged in natural, unstructured styles are the budding choice.

2. Beyond Pastels: Bold, Vibrant Hues
Soft blush tones are making way for moody, high-contrast palettes. Deep reds, sunset oranges, rich purples, and even black accents lend wedding flowers a modern, luxurious edge.

3. Wild and Whimsical Garden Vibes
Forget stiff, over-structured arrangements and centrepieces. This year, the trend leans into a more natural, just-picked-from-the-garden aesthetic. Loose, organic styles with cascading greenery, wildflowers, and unexpected textures create a romantic, effortless feel.

4. Showstopping Floral Installations
Centrepieces are getting bigger—literally. Couples going all in on jaw-dropping floral installations have high-impact options, from oversized chuppah designs and hanging floral chandeliers to flower walls and lush aisle runners. This wedding flowers’ goal: total floral immersion.

Wedding Bouquets: Put These Floral Trends in Your Hands

1. Hand-tied Bouquets with Movement
Brides are opting for looser, more free-flowing bouquets rather than traditional, tightly packed arrangements. Asymmetry is key with these blooms, complete with greenery spilling over naturally for an effortless, ethereal look.

2. Mixing Fresh and Dried Elements
Blending fresh flowers with dried textures—like pampas grass, lunaria, and preserved ferns—is a floral trend that’s here to stay. It adds visual interest, contrast, and a longer-lasting bouquet.

 3. Personal Touches and Symbolic Blooms
Florals with meaning are having a major moment. Their fragrance can transport you to fond memories, while their symbolism—roses for love, lilies for devotion, peonies for prosperity—add meaning to any celebration. Whether it’s including a grandparent’s favourite bloom or incorporating flowers that hold cultural or sentimental value, these bouquets make deep and personal statements.

Three Floral Trends to Elevate Every Simcha

1. Seasonal and Theme-based Arrangements
From bar and bat mitzvahs to anniversaries and milestone birthdays, trends are moving beyond tradition to embrace personal style, seasonality and storytelling. Be it with cherry blossoms in spring to create a natural connection to the time of year or a garden-inspired bat mitzvah with cascading wildflowers, each choice sets the mood and enhances the experience.

2. Dried and Preserved Florals
Not exclusive to wedding bouquets, these eternal blooms are making their way into event centrepieces, chuppahs and décor elements. Their long-lasting beauty can be repurposed as keepsakes long after the party ends.

3. Minimalist vs. Over-the-top Centrepieces
Floral trends in décor are going in two directions: sleek and modern or full-on opulence. And both are fantastic. Refined, single-bloom arrangements look sleek in contemporary vases. Lavish, overflowing tablescapes offer a maximalist feel.
