As the seasons turn and love stories unfold, 2026 brings floral designs that spark adventure and ignite the imagination.
Choosing the perfect elements for your wedding can feel overwhelming, but the year’s floral trends offer an abundance of inspiration to bring your vision to life. From calla lilies embellished with pearls to clouds of hydrangea and architectural foliage, we encourage couples to embrace creativity, letting every petal whisper a story of reinvention and romance.
Here are a few floral trends expected to bloom next year:
Sculptural Florals & Asymmetrical Elegance
Expect wedding florals that transcend tradition, embracing visually striking compositions that transform blooms into bold, artistic statements. In 2026, wedding decor celebrates transformation and the beauty of imbalance. Modern couples are setting aside traditional bouquets in favour of designs that mirror the organic elegance of nature. Think: cascading flower arrangements that trail gracefully; structures that twist and climb, and centrepieces that sprawl across tables, inviting guests to experience every angle of a truly interactive floral masterpiece.
Mismatched Mini-Bloom Centrepieces
You’ll hear words like imperfect, mismatched, and natural often when describing this trend. Couples are seeking authenticity, choosing to intentionally weave personal touches into their floral designs. Mismatched mini-bloom centrepieces celebrate personal charm and intimacy, and are a wonderful way to incorporate each couple’s unique style into their wedding blooms.Elegant glass cylinder vases, each holding statement blooms scattered down the tables, create arrangements that feel playful, effortless, and deeply personal. By mixing colours, textures, and flower varieties, this trend embraces creativity, resulting in compositions that are both spontaneous and captivating. It provides a wonderful way for couples to curate a collection that feels uniquely their own. Plus, they get to have a little fun during the creation process.
The Bohemian Revival
The Bohemian wedding trend is back, but with an elevated twist. This floral trend goes way beyond pampas grass and dried palms of the early 2020s. We’re now seeing wild, natural movement, twisting grasses into free-form shapes, folding tulip petals, and combining contrasting, unexpected flower varieties to create a captivating blend of free-flowing and structured forms. Soft, free-flowing designs take centre stage, incorporating suspended florals and organic shapes that evoke a sense of freedom and romance. This is a floral trend that offers an interesting blend between free-flowing and structure. It’s a beautiful way to use elements like wild grasses, pampas and seed pods (like depetaled sunflowers) to add texture and movement to your arrangements.It’s perfect not only for adventurous, creative bridal couples, but also for anyone drawn to contemporary, artful designs that remain romantic and uniquely striking.
Pastels With a Playful Twist Dreamy lilacs, blush pinks, and soft ivories are softening the bold blooms that defined 2025. While the goal is still to ensure guests gasp, this trend introduces a gentle harmony, blending nostalgia with modernity. The twist? Beneath its soft, romantic palette lies a playful spirit, offering couples a fresh, whimsical aesthetic that whispers promises of romance and hints of adventure.
Where Florals Meet Sustainability: The Biggest 2026 Floral Trend
In 2026, sustainability is no longer just a buzzword, it has become a pillar of wedding planning. Modern couples are choosing flowers that are as kind to the planet as they are beautiful, ensuring their celebration leaves a minimal environmental footprint while still feeling effortlessly elegant.
As such, expect an even bigger rise in:
Locally Grown & Seasonal Blooms: Couples are opting for flowers grown locally and in season, reducing their impact on the environment. At Templem, we place a strong emphasis on seasonal blooms, highlighting their beauty and freshness through inspiring creations that mirror the natural rhythm of nature.
Native Flowers: Australian natives offer incredible magic. They provide long-lasting, textural and striking works of art that showcase the beauty of the incredible land we live on. From proteas and leucadendrons to banksias and flannel flowers, these blooms offer a unique touch to any wedding celebration.
Reusability & Eco-Friendly Arrangements: Many florists are creating arrangements that can be replanted, donated, or repurposed after the wedding. This is a wonderful way to get more from your floral investment while simultaneously reducing waste.
