2022 Wedding Flower Trends

Wedding season is back, and so are statement-making blooms. With this year bringing a wedding boom, there are a lot of noteworthy wedding flower ideas on the horizon. After months (or years) of waiting, engaged couples are eager to throw celebrations that are bigger and better than ever, so it's no surprise that floral arrangements are following suit. 

As a premier wedding venue in Colorado, we know a thing or two about the importance of florals incorporated in wedding decor. Wildflowers galore, monochrome moments, and so on, we’ve seen our venue come to life with the help of florals. 

Here are 5 wedding floral trends for 2022, according to The Knot. 

Colors Galore 

Color, color, and more color. That’s the number one thing to remember if you’re planning a 2022 wedding. Above anything else, we can expect to see centerpieces, wedding bouquets, boutonnieres, and other arrangements filled with vibrant, eye-catching hues that make a statement. The reason? Couples are eager to decorate their weddings in the most uplifting way possible, and cheerful color palettes are the perfect solution. While having a reception in the 70 acres surrounding Greystone Castle, it is also striking to have that pop of color in your florals, when a lot of the natural palette surrounding our venue is green or amber from the trees and flowing grass. 

Maximalist Installations

Over-the-top floral installations are another big trend (pun intended) for 2022, and they're expected to be paired with boldly colored blooms to maximize impact. But with the average cost of wedding flowers coming in at $2,300, combined with ongoing supply chain issues, some couples are also being more selective with their wedding flower arrangements. This could mean opting for alternative, locally grown foliage, and greenery to add texture or paring down a wide variety of flowers to just one or two budget-friendly options that are easily sourced during your wedding season.

 

Unique Textures

Couples are moving away from traditional rose-heavy arrangements and are open to lots of texture and greenery-heavy installations. Pairing a flower with something unexpected, like dried palm leaves or even dried fruit, gives an arrangement visual interest. Specifically, for the florals on your tablescape, we recommend floral arrangements that are primarily fresh instead of dried since it can be a fire hazard if you have a lot of candles on your table. 

Cloudlike Designs

After the past few years, it's safe to say that we could all benefit from escaping to someplace dreamy, and some couples are taking that notion literally. Ethereal, cloudlike arrangements that hang from the venue ceiling or float across floors and tables are another 2022 floral trend on the rise. Baby's breath, or gypsophila, is the go-to for these types of arrangements—and while it's traditionally seen as a 'filler flower,' florists are coming up with new (and gorgeous) ways to use baby's breath to make it the center of attention.

Monofloral Arrangements

The monochrome, color-blocking look has become especially popular in home design, fashion, and wedding decor over the last few years, so we're excited to see it on the map as an up-and-coming wedding flower trend in 2022. The most common way that couples are embracing this trend is by choosing either one type of flower or a few flowers in very similar color varieties to fill their arrangements.

No matter what you choose, remember that your floral arrangements are a tried-and-true way to bring life and personality to your wedding decor, which is ultimately the goal.
