Elena Iutsis, CEO & Founder of Noble & Wild Florals, shares what designers are hoping to see more of in 2026 (and beyond).
Botanical Green Weddings. "Wedding pros everywhere are urging couples to explore bolder, more expressive floral ideas — design approaches that feel modern today yet remain grounded in natural beauty. These trends elevate a wedding's atmosphere, photograph beautifully, and offer a fresh alternative to the traditional blush-and-white palette brides often default to."

Geometry & Mixed Textures. "One of the most exciting directions in floral design is the use of contrasting materials. Delicate blooms styled in rough, handmade vessels. Soft garden roses rising from angular stone. Light, airy stems paired with bold geometric shapes. This interplay of softness and structure creates a curated, editorial look. It’s design-forward, expressive, and feels beautifully intentional—perfect for couples looking for artistry within their florals."

Moss, Wildflowers & Meadow Magic. "Florists everywhere are hoping brides lean into moss and wild, natural textures. Moss adds a grounding, velvety softness that feels almost enchanted, while wildflowers bring spontaneity, nostalgia, and movement. Together, they create designs that feel as though they were gathered at dawn in an untouched meadow. This approach is perfect for couples who love garden-inspired aesthetics, natural palettes, and arrangements that look like they grew organically right where they’re placed."

Minimalism & Small Monofloral Bouquets. "Minimalist bouquets are on the rise — and florists would love to see more of them. There's something undeniably chic about a small monofloral bouquet: a handful of elegant stems, chosen for their natural line and beauty, arranged with absolute intention. Rather than competing for attention, these bouquets whisper sophistication. They're timeless, artistic, and perfect for brides who want something clean yet impactful.

Color Blocking — With No Fear of Color. "Color blocking is one of the most expressive ways for couples to incorporate personality into their florals. Bold, unexpected color pairings — moss green with terracotta, saffron with lilac, peach with chocolate brown— add visual rhythm and emotional energy. Instead of relying on a single palette, color blocking embraces contrast and shape to create a dynamic, layered design. It can be subtle or bold, but always modern and full of character."

A Fresh Take on Timelessness. "Many brides dream of florals that will still feel beautiful decades from now — but timelessness doesn't have to mean all-white with a hint of blush. True longevity comes from natural shapes, garden-style movement, earthy tones, and organic textures. Antique pinks, soft browns, lush greenery, and botanical structure create designs that photograph beautifully both today and in the years to come. It’s a more nuanced, elevated approach to the idea of 'timeless.'"
