Current Trends In Summer Wedding Flowers (2025 Edition)

Every year, I meet brides who are stuck on one thing: what flowers will feel like them. Summer weddings are beautiful, but getting the florals just right can be a whole other story.

It’s not just about color or style. It’s about emotion, setting the tone, and creating an experience your guests remember. 

The Hidden Garden has worked on some of the country’s most unforgettable weddings and has been named Wezoree’s wedding flower vendor of the year three times, which means we’ve seen a lot of summer wedding flower trends.

I’m Amy Marella, the owner of the Hidden Garden, and I’ve put this guide together to share the summer wedding flower trends that are inspiring couples in 2025. I hope it gives you ideas to make your own wedding ceremony extra personal and special. 

Couples Are Ditching Green and White for Bold Color Palettes

Green and white florals will always have a place, but we’ve experienced more and more couples requesting bold, expressive color in their wedding flowers. It’s a shift away from the traditional and playing it safe. Bright florals create emotion. They energize a space and reflect a couple’s personality in a way neutral colors never could. 

If you’re planning a summer wedding, this is the perfect time to lean into vivid colors. Dahlias, peonies, garden roses, zinnias, ranunculus and celosia all peak in summer and come in the richest shades. Think mango, raspberry, deep coral, golden yellow and wine red. 

We’re also using more bougainvillea for texture and drama. These flowers hold up beautifully in warm weather and let us build centerpieces and installations that feel lush.

The photo above is a snap from a recent wedding we catered. The bride wanted the reception to feel abundant, colorful and a little dramatic without losing elegance. We used a mix of saturated blooms in tall gold vases, layered with textured greenery and hints of fruit to give the tables depth. The goal was to make the room feel alive the moment guests walked in. Everything from the glassware to the linens was chosen to support that bold floral story.

This trend works because it lets couples bring real personality into their day. Color has always been emotional and who wants a wedding without emotion?

Designers Are Turning Ballrooms Into Bloom-Filled Gardens

Bringing the outside into your wedding venue has just about become our favorite summer wedding flower trend. It’s not just about filling a ballroom with flowers. It’s about completely transforming the space so your guests feel like they’ve walked into a blooming garden. 

There are so many ways to create that feeling. We’ve designed moss-covered floral walls to frame entrances and photo backdrops, added greenery-lined aisle runners to soften polished floors and built archways that feel like they’ve grown in place. 

One of the most striking ideas we’ve done is what you see in the photo above, a full floral ceiling installation that floats above the tables and dance floor. We built layers of hanging wisteria, roses and delphinium, carefully balanced with lighting and chandeliers to keep it airy and full of movement. Every guest looked up and paused.

This style works because it doesn’t just decorate a space. It brings it to life. It turns a ballroom into something warm, romantic and unexpected. And when it’s done right, it’s not just beautiful. It’s unforgettable. We love helping couples create that kind of moment. It’s the part of the wedding guests remember long after the night is over.

Unusual Floral Shapes Are Getting More Love in 2025

Florals don’t have to sit in perfect little circles anymore. 2025 has brought a big shift in how couples want their flowers to look and feel. More couples are asking for florals that look less structured and are experimenting with different silhouettes that feel personal and expressive. 

We’re seeing asymmetrical bouquets, deconstructed aisle arrangements, and freeform installations at after parties that stretch across ceilings or climb up walls. These shapes tell a story. They invite people in.

The floral arch in the photo above was one we designed for a couple who wanted their ceremony to feel like a dream garden. We used layers of blush roses, lilac hydrangea and soft trailing greenery, letting the shape curve and spill organically. It wasn’t meant to look perfect. It was meant to feel alive. When the bride walked under it, it framed her in the most romantic way.

This trend is growing because couples want their weddings to look like no one else’s. Shapes matter. We’re no longer just placing flowers. We’re shaping experiences. That’s why more people are asking for florals that break the mold and feel a little wild.

Outdoor Weddings Are Using Flower Motion to Create Emotion

Have you thought about whether you want your flowers to sway in the breeze or stay still during your ceremony? It’s a small detail, but it completely changes the way outdoor weddings feel. We’ve been working with more couples who want their florals to move. They’re drawn to softness, motion and that almost cinematic feeling you get when the wind catches just the right moment.

In the wedding pictured above, we used pampas grass to frame the ceremony. It moved gently as the couple exchanged vows, catching the light and making the entire setting feel more alive. We paired it with garden roses and cosmos for contrast and texture. 

Flowers like lisianthus, butterfly ranunculus and scabiosa also move beautifully in an open-air ceremony.

If you’re having an outdoor wedding and want it to feel natural and a little unstructured, motion in your florals can really bring that to life. We often guide couples toward designs that let the breeze do its thing without the setup looking too styled. It’s a subtle detail, but when the flowers move with you, the whole ceremony feels more relaxed and emotionally open.

Table Flowers Are Dictating Monocolor Dining Areas

One of the most beautiful trends we’re being asked for this year is couples choosing a single color to carry through their entire wedding dining space.

It creates a clean, layered look that feels elegant without being overwhelming. What’s interesting is that it’s usually the flowers on the table that end up setting the tone for the whole room.

Table florals are the hardest element to get right. They have to work with the linens, the lighting and the flow of the event. Once that floral palette is locked in, it naturally guides everything else.

If you pick mauve peonies, the napkins, chairs and glassware often follow suit. Soft blue delphinium leads into pale linen textures and silver accents. Bold orange ranunculus opens the door to copper flatware and terra cotta chargers. When you start with the flowers, the rest of the decor falls into place more easily.

The image above is a great example. Every detail works around one palette, from the full rose-based centerpieces to the blush-toned linens and chair detailing. It’s immersive but never too much and that's what you want in summer flower arrangements.

This summer wedding flowers trend has grown because couples are craving simplicity without losing impact. When everything is coordinated around a single floral tone, the room feels thoughtful and put together. It also gives your guests a sense of being inside a full experience, not just attending another wedding dinner.
