As each year passes, wedding trends shift, reflecting changing tastes and fresh ideas. For the upcoming 2025 wedding season, flowers continue to play a key role, especially garden roses from Alexandra Farms. Known for their wide variety and dependable quality grown and exported from Colombia, these roses fit well with the season’s most notable trends.
Garden Rose Glam and Celebration Trends
What makes a wedding truly unforgettable? Is it the perfect dress, the flawless venue, or the moment the couple says "I do"? As the 2025 wedding season approaches, a new question emerges: could it be the flowers? Beyond simple decoration, flowers shape the entire wedding atmosphere in surprising ways. Here are a few trends provided by Alexandra Farms to have in mind for the 'Happily Ever After' season.
1. Statement Installation Pieces
One of the standout trends for this year is the use of statement floral installations. These large-scale features—such as aerial displays, arches, floral murals, balloon-inspired arrangements, and table runners—are designed to make a strong visual impact. They work as natural focal points for events, offering guests a 'wow' experience and overall adorning the atmosphere without relying on over-the-top decorations.
Aerial installations, for example, suspend flowers and foliage above reception tables or dance floors, drawing the eye upward and creating a sense of depth. Roses like Constance and Hettie provide soft yet salient colors that catch the light beautifully from above. For arches framing ceremony spaces, Rose Beatrice adds yellow warmth, creating a welcoming entrance.
Floral murals are also gaining attention—these living walls can be used behind head tables or at venue entrances, making them perfect for photos. A mix of Rose Capability in deep pink and Rose Miyabi with a cream-pink blend adds texture without feeling overwhelming. Floral balloons, meanwhile, use round frameworks covered with roses like Edith, whose apricot tones stand out while maintaining an organic feel.
Table runners made from continuous rows of garden roses like Rose Leonora and Rose Millicent will be in full trend as they are stars when it comes to stretching across long tables, creating a clean, linear effect. These arrangements avoid the clutter of traditional centerpieces and encourage a relaxed dining experience.
These statement installations with garden roses define spaces. Suspended overhead, rising as an arch, or stretching along a table, they provide a central design element that draws attention without being too flashy. Their simplicity in structure, paired with well-chosen roses and colors, makes them a practical yet impactful choice for modern weddings.
2. Colorful Accents
Bright colors are always making a comeback, have you noticed? While past years focused on softer palettes, this year is seeing an important rise in strong color touches mixed with neutral surroundings. Instead of filling a room with vigorous shades, couples are choosing key spots for color, allowing the impact to feel intentional, not overwhelming. But one thing's for sure— dazzling colors are all in and they're not going anywhere.
Rose Capability in deep pink or Rose Edith, offering warm apricot tones, are good options here. They provide a pop of color that feels natural. On the other hand, if you want red to be the main character of the story... when in doubt, use Rose Tess. It will create the perfect neon red setting you've been imagining.
3. Minimalist Table Settings
Centerpieces are becoming simpler. Instead of large arrangements, tables now feature fewer flowers, with each one chosen for its specific look or meaning. This minimalist approach lets guests focus on the overall design without distraction, inspired by the Japanese art called 'Ikebana'.
For these designs, garden roses such as Leonora, with its plain white petals, or Rose Millicent, which offers a pale blush color, work well. They bring a clean, neat look to the table, allowing other design elements—like unique tableware, candles, or linens—to shine as well. It's all about balance!
5. Pastel Palettes With Sandy and Nude Tones
Pastel color palettes continue to be very popular and on-trend, especially soft sandy, and nude tones. These color combos can never 'not be associated' with weddings as they are refined, elegant, and classy.
For this style, Alexandra Farms offers Rose Sahara Sensation which blends dusty pink with light yellow shades, fitting well in neutral color schemes. Another option is Rose Café Latte, which has a soft brown tone for couples wanting something a little different. Rose Golden Mustard adds a richer tone while still fitting into the natural color family.
The wedding trends for 2025 focus on clarity, balance, and thoughtful design whether it be with neutral or strong colors. These trends leave room for personal touches, demonstrating that often the most straightforward concepts have the greatest impact.
