Wedding Trends of 2025/2026

Innovation, uniqueness and artistic floral arrangements

The wedding industry is in full swing. Thank goodness, because who wants beige tablecloths and predictable flower arrangements anymore? In 2026, it’s all about decor that makes your guests whisper: “Wow, I’ve never seen this before”. Think innovative, think visual, think style with substance. And yes, a little bit of courage too!

Touch of Glam
Clean is still the queen, but in 2026 minimalism gets an upgrade. Think monochrome table linen, geometric shapes and lots of white space, combined with luxurious accents such as gold, marble details or just another accent here and there. Perfect for couples who love peace, but then with that one striking recurring accent. Perfect to combine with the 'sea trend' of 2026.

2. Styling for all the senses

Weddings in 2026 will be a total experience. Not only what you see counts, but also what you hear, smell and feel. Think fragrant flowers (jasmine, eucalyptus), perfume, texture, such as velvet or raw cotton, personal playlists on the website or even invitations with scent.

3. Statement flowers: Bigger is Better

Flowers are not an extra in 2026, they can be wild and sensational, real art. Think a ceiling full of hanging flowers, a flower wall as a backdrop for your ceremony, or asymmetrical flower arrangements that look like nature itself interfered. Bigger. Wilder. Better. Like art.

Tech with style

Tech is making its entrance into the styling world. And no, no robots at the reception, but LED lighting, projections, AR experiences and mood control via smart lamps. Your wedding location changes with the moment: during the ceremony beautiful soft warm lights for a romantic look and during the party you can go wild with all kinds of bright or colored projections.

Vintage with a twist

Retro is back, but with flair. In 2026 we combine Art Deco prints, 70s colours and vintage tableware with sleek elements of today. For couples who love timeless with a wink.

Bold & Bright Where before everything was cream, white or soft pink, in 2026 we are going all out for bold & bright. Think sapphire blue, emerald green, coral red and bright citrus hues. Combine these with neutral bases for balance, and your styling will jump off the canvas.
Everything Made to Measure
In 2026, it's all about personalization, your own wedding logo, stationery in your colors, napkins with a quote that only you understand and table numbers with photos of you at a certain age indicating whether you are at table 1 (age 1 year). Yes, this is your day. And you can see that in everything.
Sustainable decoration
Green is no longer just an accent color, it’s a lifestyle. In 2026, we’ll see sustainable decor that’s both stylish and thoughtful. Beautiful seasonal flowers from local growers, reusable elements (think: vintage glassware, cloth napkins) and natural materials like wood, linen or pottery. And you know: Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue? How about borrowing or using something from your grandma’s wedding dress or jewelry? It doesn’t get more sustainable than that!
