Bridal Bouquet Trends

Just like fashion, bouquet styles come and go. Many of today’s brides are opting for bold colors, innovative styles, and eco-friendly choices. Here are some of the emerging bridal bouquet trends we’re seeing for the second half of 2024 and beyond.

Cascading Bouquets

The cascading bouquet is making a resurgence. This wedding bouquet shape resembles an upside-down teardrop, with a rounded bunch of flowers at the top that gradually tapers down into a single point. The end result is a bouquet that “cascades” over your hands and down the front of your wedding dress like a waterfall.

Monochromatic and Monobotanical Bouquets

Monochromatic bouquets feature flowers in tints, tones, and shades of a single hue. Monobotanical bouquets, on the other hand, showcase one type of flower for a simplistic yet classic look. The combination of these two trends results in bouquets that are clean and crisp.

Sustainable Blooms

Brides are opting for locally grown flowers for a more eco-conscious choice. Steele Orchid typically uses local farms during the growing season to supplement traditional wedding flowers sourced from non-local suppliers.

Textural Bouquets

Texture in bouquets adds a unique visual appeal. Agonis, pampas grass, and Queen Anne’s lace are examples of elements that bring texture, texture, and more texture to the arrangement.

Botanical Variety Bouquets

Mixing unexpected combinations, such as arid protea with lush tropical flowers, creates stunning and unconventional bouquets. The trend of combining dried and fresh flowers is also gaining popularity, offering a captivating contrast.

Boldly-Colored Bouquets

Color is making a comeback in a big way, but moody pastels and classic white-and-green combinations remain popular. Many brides today are embracing a broader range of color options, moving away from the traditional whites and light pastels.

Petite Bouquets

The trend of oversized bouquets is fading, with more brides opting for smaller, more manageable arrangements. Smaller bouquets can still be just as stunning and impactful as their larger counterparts.
