White Bridal Bouquets 3 Ways

ALRIGHT. So the Pantone “colour” of the year for 2025 is Cloud Dancer, and I’m sure you’ve all seen just how irritated the creative world is that they chose white as a colour. If you’ve been around here long enough, you’ll know that I’m a die-hard colour lover, BUT I also acknowledge that white has, is, and always will be a popular option for weddings.

So, let’s talk about white flowers a bit! If you’re one of the people who envisions yourself carrying a white bridal bouquet, I’d encourage you to think about / ask your floral designer to think about ways that your flowers can be designed uniquely. White flowers can be white flowers can be white flowers…it’s our job to ensure that we are guided by movement and cohesive palette choices, blending visual interest with refinement to create depth, emotion, and harmony.

Today I’m offering up 3 different white bridal bouquets, each designed with a different perspective in mind.

2026 and 2027 Wedding Flower and Design Trend

Every year for the last 12 years, I’ve written an annual trends forecasting blog post. I always enjoy it but to be honest, this year I’m not feeling it. Why? Good question.

It might be that the trend cycle seems less interesting to me than ever before. Rather than obsessing over trends, I would love to see you plan a wedding and celebration that is unique, interesting, and fits your vision instead of just replicating another thing you saw online. I’m feeling this way with my personal style, with the renovation I’m planning for my home, even just feeling super tired of Instagram itself.

The best designs are never going to be replicating what we see someone else has done.

Minimalist Meets Maximalist Wedding at The White Poplar

Lindsay came to me requesting monochromatic, minimalist meets maximalist vibes with spotlight floral features. Over time, things shifted a bit into a luxurious, modern European direction and I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

I always love to start my blog posts for the new calendar year with some of my favourite weddings from the previous year. Lindsay and Michael’s wedding was absolutely a highlight of 2025!

Year in Review 2025

2025 is coming to an end, and I’m grateful for a slower season this winter as well as the end of an amazing wedding season!

This year was a bit different for me, and it was really nice. It was paced differently, with small breaks peppered throughout my calendar. Next year looks like it’ll be a bit different, too, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves!

It’s kind of weird to write an annual recap, because to be completely honest, I don’t remember much of the year. I have a rather pathetic memory to begin with, but designing for different weddings every single weekend and then “on to the next!” makes it really difficult to be able to truly take anything in and make memories. But I think it was a good year 😂

How Much Do Wedding Flowers Cost? Warm Neutral Wedding Reception at Novella

It’s not all that frequent that I get to design the entire reception from start to finish, and I really enjoy digging into that complete process. For this warm, neutral wedding reception at Novella, I started with a brief overview of the colour palette and textural elements I wanted to highlight.

As I got going, I knew I wanted to share a glance at the real life costs behind a reception design like this. Many of my clients come to me asking for designs like this, but have no frame of reference for pricing. So, let’s jump into the design and then the cost!
