Flower Wedding Decor Trends

Today’s couples love floral decor that feels both personal and on-trend. Rich jewel tones (emerald, ruby, coral) and soft pastel palettes are huge right now. You’ll also see lots of garden-inspired, organic designs: loose, wildflower-like bouquets, plenty of greenery, and a relaxed, natural vibe. Monochromatic looks (all-white or all-green) continue to be popular for a modern touch, too. In our designs, we highlight trending flowers — peonies, tulips, orchids, and garden roses — which add romantic texture and freshness. Whether your theme is sleek and minimalist or colorful and whimsical, we’ll tailor the floral wedding decor to your vision.

Flower Wedding Arch Designs

A florally decorated arch can be the showstopper of your ceremony. This year’s top arch trends included circle arches, elegant urns on pedestals, and aisle designs that create a garden effect. For example, we recently built a gold mandap arch wrapped in white roses and orchids (pictured above) to frame a seaside ceremony. Many couples favor wooden or metal frames covered in vines and wildflowers for an organic, whimsical look. In all cases, the arch design is highly personal — we create one-of-a-kind arches that blend your favorite blooms and textures.

Wedding Ceremony Decor Ideas

Your ceremony decor sets the tone for the whole wedding. Popular ideas include floral aisle markers, hanging installations, and backdrops of blooms. We often blend seasonal flowers and rich textures to craft unique ceremony arrangements. For instance, you could line the aisle with lanterns of lavender and eucalyptus, or hang a chandelier of flowers above the reception . Even potted flowering plants (like olive or citrus trees) can add a living accent. By combining your color scheme with natural elements, we make each element — from altar arrangements to entryway bouquets — feel cohesive and memorable.

Flower Decoration for the Wedding Stage

The wedding stage or altar is a natural focal point, so we go big (or go home!) on floral decor there. Consider a dramatic flower wall backdrop or a lush floral arch framing the couple. Tall pedestals overflowing with seasonal blooms look stunning at the front of the stage. We also love suspending flowers or greenery overhead for a “garden ceiling” effect. For a more understated look, a long, low arrangement of mixed blooms along the stage edge can be very elegant. Every stage arrangement is tailored to fit your venue and theme — whether that means modern minimalist vases or an over-the-top romantic cascade.

Flower Decoration for Church Wedding

For a church wedding, we emphasize tradition with a romantic twist. Simple pew decorations with white blooms and greenery (like the photo above) add refined elegance. Aisles can be marked with bud vases tied with ribbon, or soft garlands along the pew edges. We design every ceremony flower to match your style — for example, mixing white orchids and eucalyptus for a classic look. As Oakland’s green florist, even our church wedding flowers are eco-friendly, we use local, organic blooms and biodegradable wraps whenever possible. Tall urns of pastel roses and hydrangeas at the altar or entrance make a beautiful welcome, especially when paired with candlelight. In short, we’ll help your church ceremony feel warm and lush (or sleek and modern) according to your vision.

Wedding Flower Decor Ideas

Looking for unique wedding flower decor ideas? There are so many ways to add flair! You might scatter bud vases of single stems on cocktail tables, create a living centerpiece (using potted succulents or herbs), or even fill a vintage bicycle basket with blooms. For a fun twist, incorporate unexpected elements like fruit (citrus blossoms or berries), dried grasses, or feathers into bouquets or table pieces. We also love a floral photo booth backdrop or a “flower bar” where guests can make their own mini bouquets. Whatever your ideas, we can mix colors, textures and containers to bring them to life and make your decor truly one-of-a-kind.

FAQ's- Top Trends in Flowers for Decoration at Weddings This Year.

1. How can I manage my flower wedding cost?

Wedding flower costs depend on the number of arrangements and the blooms chosen. To stay on budget, we often suggest using more greenery and filler flowers with a few standout blooms. Choosing seasonal, local flowers also saves money. We offer custom packages so you only pay for what you need. For example, you can focus on a big bridal bouquet and simpler centerpieces if that fits your budget.

2. What is included in a flower wedding package?

A typical package covers all your ceremony and reception florals. This usually includes the bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages, table centerpieces, and ceremony pieces (like an arch or altar arrangements). We tailor each package to your needs and style. Just let us know which pieces you want, and we’ll design them to match your color scheme and theme.

3. What are some wedding ceremony decor ideas using flowers? 

Think beyond a simple altar spray. Popular ideas include floral arches or gazebos, flower walls or backdrops, and aisle markers (like lanterns, ribbons or vases of blooms). You can also hang garlands or chandeliers of flowers from the ceiling. We often blend local seasonal blooms and rich textures to make one-of-a-kind ceremony pieces. Each idea is customized to fit your venue – whether it’s an outdoor garden or a city hall ceremony.

4. How can I decorate a wedding stage with flowers? 

The stage is a great place for a big floral statement. You might have a flower-covered backdrop or a hanging installation overhead. We sometimes use tall pedestal arrangements on the stage or a runner of mixed blooms at the edge. Another idea is to suspend greenery or blooms from the ceiling. The key is to echo your bouquet and table styles so the whole wedding looks cohesive.

5. How can we decorate a church wedding with flowers? 

Church weddings often feature decor on pews and at the altar. Small posies or ribbon-tied sprays on pew ends create a classic look. Along the aisle, you can line the floor with flower-filled lanterns or vases. At the front, large arrangements of roses, orchids or lilies can flank the altar. We make all ceremony florals to fit your style, and since we’re Oakland’s green florist, we use organic flowers even for church decor.
