Trending Wedding Flowers for 2021

Trending Wedding Flowers for 2021

With 2021 wedding consultations in full swing we thought we would breakdown some of our favorite trending color palettes and flowers for this upcoming season. These popular flowers and color palettes are pulled directly from our consultations and bookings for 2021. From bright pops of color to the simple white and green we are here to break it down for you. We will start with our three base color palettes and then add in some popular touches to switch them up a tiny bit. 

White and Greenery: 

Does this one really surprise anyone? The classic white and green color palette is timeless. It is elegant, luxurious, and screams bridal. This color palette can be used for rustic barn nuptials, upscale ballroom weddings,  adventurous elopements, lakeside intimate ceremonies, and more. It can be dressed up or down and still looks absolutely amazing. 

Here are some of our favorite white flowers: Peonies, Playa Blanca and Snowy Jewel Standard Roses, David Austin Ella and Patience Garden Roses, Dahlias, Lisianthus, Ranunculus, Tulips, Stock, Mums, Statice, Carnations, Hydrangeas, Snap Dragons, and Anemones. Some of these flowers are not available year-round but are still our favorites to use during their perspective seasons. 

Our favorite greeneries? You already know from our bouquet breakdowns that we are obsessed with all things eucalyptus. Some other amazing greeneries that we love are Italian ruscus, Israeli ruscus, Olive greenery, Leatherleaf fern, and Salal. 

Maybe you love the white and greenery look but want to spice it up a bit? Here are two spin-off floral mood boards that we have seen become very popular for 2021 weddings. 

• White, Blush, and Greenery. 

            This soft feminine spin on the white and green trend is so beautiful. It gives you a tiny pop of color while still giving you that white bridal feel. The soft touches of pink enhance your bouquet that much more when placed up against your white dress in photos. Some of our favorite flowers to use as pops of blush are Spray Roses, Garden Roses, Ranunculus, Veronica, Stock, Astilbe, and Lisianthus. 

• White, Dusty Blue, and Greenery. 

            Adding in pops of blue has become increasingly popular after Pantone announced classic blue as it's 2020 color of the year. While some couples opt for a more bright blue or royal blue, our couples seem to be leaning more towards a dusty blue to pair with their navy suits and dresses. True blue flowers are very rare in nature and often are more of a purple hue than a true blue. By far our number one go-to when adding in pops of blue is Thistle. It is a super unique flower and is unlike any other bloom we have ever encountered. Some other great blue flowers are Delphiniums, Hydrangeas, and Tweedia. 

Would you opt for this super popular white and greenery palette or would you sneak in some blush or dusty blue? 

 Blush and Burgundy: 

Blush and Burgundy is another tried and true color palette that just doesn't seem to go away. We most often find wedding couples opting for this color palette in the fall and winter. Don't let that discourage you if you have a spring or summer wedding, we have also seen some fun twists on this palette to match those seasons as well. 

But first, a rundown of our favorite blush and burgundy flowers. Blush: Peonies, Standard Roses, Tsumugi Warbara Garden Roses, David Austin Keira Garden Roses, Spray Roses, Ranunculus, Veronica, Stock, Astilbe, Lisianthus, Hypericum Berries, and Alstromeria. Burgundy: Hearts Garden Roses, Black Magic Standard Roses, Hypericum Berries, Amaranthus, Amenomes, Ranunculus, Astilbe, Mums, Pom Mums, and Dahlias. 

 Love the contrast between the light pink and deep burgundy tones but want to spice it up a bit? Here is another palette we see wedding couples requesting for 2021. 

• Blush, Burgundy, and Peach.

            At first, you may think peach? That is a little odd. But hear us out, we promise it is worth it! The peach adds another layer of color to your bouquet giving it more depth and more interest. Some of our favorite peach flowers to add are David Austin Juliette Garden Roses, Campanella Garden Roses, Shimmer Standard Roses, Hypericum Berries, Stock, Lisianthus, and Ranunculus. 

Would you opt for the most common blush and burgundy or would you spice it up with some peach? 

Wildflower:

Last but certainly not least is the wildflower palette. This color palette is so versatile and really stunning in the late spring thru early summer when the local flowers are all in bloom. The bright cheery tones of the flowers always liven up a wedding and leave guests smiling. The best part about the wildflower palette is that if you book early enough with us we are more than happy to grow specific flower varieties just for you and your special day in our cut flower gardens. 

This color palette is packed with bright yellows, pinks, lavenders, apricots, blues, and more. This is the quintessential everything but the kitchen sink bouquet. Some of our favorites to include in this color palette is Yellow Billy Balls, Light Blue Delphiniums, Blue Thistle, Pink Dahlias, Pink Celosia, Lavender Stock, Purple Gomphrena, Apricot Zinnas, Peach David Austin Garden Roses, Watermelon Ranunculus.
