Miami is called the “Magic City” for good reason. With its scenic beaches, vibrant culture, and Art Deco architecture, it comes as no surprise that it’s one of the country’s prime wedding destinations! With this, a new year means new wedding trends, with couples getting more creative and ditching tradition in favor of more contemporary ideas. For the floral industry, this poses a new challenge for florists and designers to flex their creative muscles and push the boundaries to create unique trends for bouquets, reception centerpieces, and flower installations.
So what does the floral future look like in 2023? Here are the hottest trends that will be in full bloom at Miami weddings this year.
1. Bright And Bold Palettes
One thing’s for sure — it’s going to be quite the colorful year!
Forget about pastels and soft hues that were all the rage in 2022… this year is all about saturated, eye-catching blooms that make a bold statement! We’re talking about vibrant colors that add an element of fun and playfulness to any wedding. With Pantone’s color of the year being “Viva Magenta,” expect to see contrasting hues of hot pinks and deep reds. Add some depth to your arrangements by mixing different shades of the same base color for a unique monochromatic look!
2. Regencycore
The regal cousin of the Cottagecore aesthetic, Regencycore reimagines the early 19th century’s extravagance, decadence, and opulent charm by adding a contemporary twist.
Taking inspiration from popular period dramas like Bridgerton, this trend allows florists to indulge in regal jewel tones like ruby, dark turquoise, emerald, and other rich colors to create a vibrant look for the wedding. To embody this trend, bridal bouquets should exude romance — like loosely tied wildflower bouquets. When it comes to reception decor, think big and bold. This means heavy florals for the centerpieces, entrance arrangements, and even a full floral dessert table!
For outdoor weddings, hydrangeas mixed with lush green foliage are at the top of the radar. But if you want to recreate a true English garden look, decorate your venue with beautiful falling wisterias.
3. Cascading Arrangements
Making a comeback this year is the cascading floral design — great way to add movement to your blooms.
This trend is characterized by tightly arranged flowers that cascade down into an asymmetrical shape. A popular bouquet design during the 80s, you might remember it in the hands of famous brides like Princess Diana. For 2023, this dramatic design has returned with an updated, garden-inspired look with lots of texture and depth. Expect to see a cascade of lush greenery branches and vines with subtle hues.
To capture this trend, choose flowers that fall effortlessly like orchids, clematis, and blooming jasmine.
4. Textured Woodland
The woodland theme is going to be a huge trend in spring and summer when the weather allows for more outdoor weddings!
This trend is characterized by romantic and nature-inspired elements to create a whimsical fairytale-esque wedding. To capture the look, work into the beauty of the natural surroundings and incorporate outdoor elements into your style. Give it a contemporary edge by playing with textures and dimensions by incorporating both green and dark foliage.
Expect to see tall floral arrangements of pampas grass, roses in lighter shades, and baby’s breath as focal points!
5. Perfectly Petite
Forget about dramatic and over-the-top. This year, the trend is expected to shift to smaller, more effortless weddings that cater to the minimalist aesthetic!
With a focus on understated luxury, expect to see petite wedding bouquets and smaller floral centerpieces with streamlined color palettes. The key is to downsize and keep simplicity in mind. Go back to basics with timeless flowers that bloom in ivory and buttercream shades to achieve a subtle, classic look. White roses, calla lilies, and sweet peas are the best florals to incorporate into petite flower arrangements.
