2026 Wedding Flower Arrangements

Before we get into 2026 trends on florals, our first and foremost advice for your wedding will always be to choose something you like. It is always a good choice to prioritize what you like or something that speaks to your relationship as a couple over a trend. However, if you are planning for a 2026 wedding and looking for some fun inspiration, this blog is for you! We’re breaking down some floral designs and types of flowers we think will shine in 2026 and in the years to come.

We’ve created a Pinterest board to partner with this blog, so if you’re looking for more inspiration through 2026 wedding trends or want to see some of these arrangements in action in Churchville, NY, take a look!

The Biggest 2026 Wedding Flower Trends

Wedding flower arrangements are experiencing an evolution in 2026, moving beyond traditional centerpieces and bouquets into the realm of creating an immersive environment and having artistic impact. We think that will be the main trend in 2026, where flowers represent a type of environment the couple are trying to create for their special day.

The way every couple will make that happen will have a lot of variety, but here are some ways we think we’ll see it done in 2026.

Monochromatic Flowers 

To create a specific vibe, some couples may choose one type of flower or shade of flower to create a color theme throughout the wedding, from the welcome dinner to the ceremony. Monochromatic arrangements in varying shades of a single color create a refined, editorial look that feels modern and intentional. We think, in particular, white-colored flowers will be popular to create a dreamy, angelic feel.

Jewel Tones

If couples do choose a color scheme, jewel-toned flowers also create a visceral feel of luxury and elegance. A more gothic or romantic wedding environment has also been rising in popularity through looks at different celebrity weddings, like Anya Taylor-Joy’s wedding in New Orleans. The jewel-toned palette lends itself perfectly to the romantic and gothic environment. Oaks Manor’s stained glass and rich dark wood are a great background for this kind of look.

Outdoor Experiences

Weddings that immerse the guests within the natural setting around them or have a strong theme of biophilic design and greenery will also continue to grow in popularity this year. We think that backyard or outdoor weddings will set the groundwork for that theme to come alive and will blend perfectly with whatever florals the couple chooses. Oaks Manor’s outdoor weddings are a perfect spot for this immersive experience. We offer multiple different outdoor wedding options on the property, from the grounds to the sycamore tree to the carriage house.

Top Trending Flowers for Wedding Bouquets in 2026

Now that we’ve talked about trends in general for floral arrangements, what types of flowers will you see really making a statement in that immersive wedding experience? Here are four we think you’ll see this year.

Garden Rose Bouquets

Garden roses are full, bursting with vitality and romance in their large, layered petals. If you are looking for an energetic, fantastical, yet feminine bouquet, these flowers might be the centerpiece or full look of your bouquet or weddingscape. Their romantic color and full look are already being seen in bridal bouquets.

Long-Stem Bouquets

Long-stem bouquets are the current it-girl bouquet. She is elegant, with long lines and nostalgic petals. These bouquets always have a long-stem presence that takes up a majority of the bouquet, often tied together with ribbon or lace. To create this swan-like elegance, the calla lily is often a sole flower or the centerpiece of the bouquet. The calla lily is perfect for brides to hold onto with their strong stems and trumpet-like flowers. 

Waterfall Bouquets

Waterfall bouquets are wedding bouquets that have had many moments in the history of wedding bouquet design. They are back stronger than ever with the trend of monochromatic bouquets. The monochromatic look allows florists to weave a waterfall of flowers that cascades down past mid-thigh. This is a romantic, bold, and magical look that really contributes to that kind of elegant, fantasy, flowy feel.

Statement Outdoor Wedding Arches

Outdoor wedding arches are a tale as old as time in wedding design, and we predict they aren’t going anywhere in 2026. However, we’re predicting it might get a refreshed new look by mixing fresh and dried elements, asymmetrical installation, and incomplete arches mostly made up by the shapes and layers of the flowers chosen.

Oaks Manor is the perfect place to set up an outdoor statement arrangement. Many of our weddings are set up at the roots of the magical sycamore tree on the grounds, making it a great place to add flowers, an outdoor wedding arch, or other natural features to your weddingscape.

Flowers as Part of the Wedding Design

We think that flowers will also be used frequently this year as part of the design. Whether that means bushes of flowers are brought in as tablescape design, a background for vows, a photo opportunity, or to line the aisle, flowers as decor will be everywhere in 2026.

What flowers are best for a wedding bouquet?

Any kind of flower that has a strong ability to last after it’s cut from its water supply is a good logistical choice for your bouquet to last all day. This is partially what makes roses, lilies, orchids, and hydrangeas, for example, popular choices. They are beautiful, timeless, and also have a long life out of water. As long as your bouquet can last the day and suits your taste, you’ve already chosen the best flowers for your bouquet!
