Wedding Floral Trends - Colour!

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when planning your florals – so let’s break it down into bite size chunks and see what’s hot and what’s not. Today let's talk colour.

This year, we may well see a new kid on the block as far as colour is concerned. Rich, chocolatey tones are making an appearance, coupled with accents of creamy coffee - which is hardly surprising since Pantone’s 2025 colour of the year is Mocha Mousse. The colour fashionistas say, 'think evocative soft browns' and you pretty much get the picture.

If your first thought is '40 shades of brown really isn't my vibe', then think again. There are some amazing soft, sandy toned roses, mouth watering coffee orchids and the most delicious chocolate blooms to choose from. Delicious!

I've been using this palette for a few styled shoots recently and have to say it creates the most elegant, stylish & luxurious look, perfect for twighlight weddings which are becoming increasingly popular too.

That's not to say wedding couples, florists and stylists blindly follow trends, but rather, people tend to choose or buy what they see.

So, if your socials have been flooded with rich sumptious gorgeousness in all its Instagrammable Glory, then it's only natural to be seduced and veer off in that direction. Which is cool as there is so much to choose from.

Going with a trend does NOT mean your florals will look like everyone elses - Heaven Forfend! A good florist will work with you to ensure your florals have the ‘WOW’ factor.

I could prattle on for days about what’s hot and what’s not in the wedding circuit,

So other than the Mocha Mousse, what else will we be seeing? Well, colour clashes won't be going anywhere soon , with glorious mouth-watering pops of rich raspberry, searing oranges and hot pinks. Vibrant, sassy, fun – delicious.

And blocks of colour, as well as monochrome themed weddings are still popular.

The main thing to remember is – it’s Your wedding:Your choice. Don’t fall victim to trends if they’re really not your vibe. And I have to admit, that although I absolutely adore colour (with my background in garden design I’d cram every bloom I could into a bouquet) I’m still a sucker for the classic green and white palette.

This simple, yet stunning combo will never go out of fashion, can be tailored to suit your exact style and brings with it a special touch of elegance.

The challenge of creating something different from what appears to be such a limited colour scheme absolutely floats my boat...but then I eat breathe and sleep flowers, so I simply love blooms whatever the colour!

By not always relying on foliage for the greenery, and instead adding green blooms into the mix can make all the difference. Don’t always settle for the obvious. The once humble Carnation (it's coming back, I promise) in juicy bright green, or a soft, pale-green Lisianthus, or that Rose with a subtle green hue can lift your florals to the next level.

It'll be fabulous to see how many couples choose Mocha Mousses as their wedding colours - my prediction is that it'll be more popular with autumn and winter weddings, with spring and summer events opting for fresh, bright pops of colour.

Whatever your choice, never be afraid of asking your florist for advice – and it would be great to see what you opt for. Share your journey with me by tagging me on your socials - don't be shy. #willowandherbflowers
