Top 7 Wedding Flower Trends for 2024
When it comes to setting the tone and style of a wedding, florals are one of the most important decisions. We spoke with expert florists to get their take on what they expect to be the top 7 wedding flower trends for 2024. Here’s what they expect to see this year.
1. Burgundy blooms
Trade in the trendy blush for deep burgundy. 2024 will bring burgundy flowers like peonies, roses, and chrysanthemums paired with the darkest shades of purple such as dark privet berries or eggplant dahlias. This color palette will transform the neutral styles of 2020 into something more eye-catching.

2. Dominant greens
Incorporate greenery like ferns or Ruscus to add texture and embrace the beauty of nature. Experts predict palates of whites and bright greens dominating the scene. Lush potted plants or bundles of foliage combined with small white blooms including the resurgence of some more “dated” blooms like carnations and baby’s breath.

3. Return of the Urn
According to The Wed Society, this year will see the resurgence of many “retro” wedding trends including the returning popularity of the urn. This classic look is perfect for anchoring the altar area for a ceremony or lining the aisle. We love this classy, traditional wedding look and can’t wait to see it reinvented in 2024

4. Lambs ear
Lambs ear has been popular for many seasons now and we don’t see an end to the lamb’s ear obsession anytime soon. This frosted foliage is versatile and gorgeous in any bouquet or table décor. We recommend pairing with Ruscus grass or pinecones for the winter wedding season.

5. Foam-Free Arrangements
As more and more couples aim to live sustainably, the floral industry continues to adjust to eco-friendly options. One of the top demands of responsible consumers is the end of floral foam. These foam blocks used for arranging flowers are made of non-recyclable, non-biodegradable plastic that contains toxic chemicals known to cause cancer. We love that couples are shopping consciously and hope that 2024 sees the end of floral foam!

6. Reusable blooms
While we are on the topic of conscious consumers, we need to highlight the growing popularity of sharing wedding flowers. More and more couples are choosing to buy used floral décor on Facebook Marketplace or rent realistic faux flowers from places like Silk Stem Collective. Some couples even coordinate with their florist to share fresh flowers with other events on the same day or on the same weekend. They can even be donated to the nonprofit Hope Blooms, that sends floral arrangements to those going through challenging times.

7. Colorful rounds
The #1 floral trend for 2024 is bright, joyful colors. Celebrate the end of a tough year and a fresh start in 2024 with vibrant blooms like mums, Juliet roses, and poppies. We can’t wait to leave the muted palettes of 2024 behind and embrace brightness and color. For a more formal event, we recommend round bouquets rather than hand-tied for a tighter, more orderly look that balances the excitement of lively colors.
