Following the latest floral trends can be a great way to inspire your floral arrangements, but it’s also a wonderful way to incorporate blooms that are popular during the current wedding season.  While not all trends last forever, it can be a great way to include contemporary creativity to your big day!

If you’re looking for the five most popular wedding flowers for 2025/2026 – look no further! Here are just a few of our favourite flower trends we’re loving right now: 

Peonies 

Peonies have often been described as the “perfect wedding flower,” and for good reason. Its deep symbolism, combined with its lush, romantic appeal, makes it a favourite for many bridal couples looking to make a delicate yet bold statement for their big day. While we admit that it's been a favourite for years, there are no signs of this bloom falling into obscurity. 

Peonies are also a versatile flower that go wonderfully with the latest wedding trends, including hot pink and orange palettes. These are bold colours that can be quite “loud,” but can complement each other with a warmth and vibrancy that not many colours have the ability to do when paired together. Peonies come in a range of colours, including light orange for a more subtle tone and hot pink for a bridal bouquet or table arrangement that wows guests. 

Tulips 

Tulips are another flower that comes in a variety of colours, each with its own unique meaning. For example, purple tulips symbolise royalty, while white tulips represent innocence. Whichever colour you choose, you’ll be amongst good company, as more and more brides are opting to incorporate tulips into their big day. 

So, why are these flowers so popular? Minimalism has been a big trend for brides in 2025, which is something we expect to continue in 2026. Tulips offer the perfect balance between minimalist design and classic romance. It’s another versatile bloom that can easily be adapted to your colour scheme while still embodying the essence of minimalism. Tulips are perfect for autumn and winter weddings, aligning with the natural blooming season in Australia. 

Snapdragons 

Could snapdragons replace the classic rose? This may not happen anytime soon, but these delicate blooms are well on their way to stealing the crown. The growing popularity of Snapdragons are due to its vibrant colours, elegant silhouette and affordability, working well in bridal bouquets if you’re looking to add a bit of texture and depth. 

These flowers do well with the latest wedding trends too, including otherworldly flower varieties. While fluffy flowers will always have a place in our hearts, the latest wedding trends show that bridal couples are choosing to move away from chunky shapes and fluffy petals. Ethereal and otherworldly are the buzzwords right now, with many wedding couples falling in love with flowers that provide a more dreamlike, unexpected and slightly surreal feeling. Snapdragons, with their spiral heads and long stems, provide just the right unique look that many couples are searching for these days. 

Calla Lilies 

Sticking to the theme of otherworldly and ethereal, calla lilies are quickly becoming a favourite amongst brides and grooms. Many couples are moving away from traditional symmetry or predictable blooms with unusual flower varieties such as this one. Calla lilies have an interesting trumpet-like shape with thick petals, making them perfect for wedding couples looking to play on the ethereal and dreamlike qualities this flower evokes. It’s another versatile flower with a beautiful meaning, including purity, innocence and new beginning – the perfect ingredients needed for the perfect start to any marriage. These flowers can stand alone to capture attention or complement seasonal arrangements.

Potted Florals 

While it may not be a specific flower that’s making waves in 2025, it is a trend that many are loving this wedding season. Cottagecore has been big for a while and this floral trend plays heavily on this aspect. Potted flowers are a wonderful way to lean into this trend, honour your sustainable nature, or it can simply be a great way to wow guests with greenery. If you’re really looking to make an impression, consider using towering trees, or keep things simple with potted flowers or greenery which you can add to the aisle. This is an excellent way to add depth and texture. What makes this option so versatile is that your potted arrangement can be moved to the reception area or gifted to guests as a thank-you for sharing your special day.
