ET-Where-2

Ground Installations

A stable and achievable event feature, built directly from the ground up.  It creates a complete backdrop for a wedding ceremony, stage, or any focal area.

On the floor, designers can also create a pathway through the event.  Gone are the straight lines—now, a meandering journey allows guests to take their time.  Intricate florals at their feet invite guests to literally step into a new world from the moment they arrive. 

Today's clients and guests want a transformative experience, and floral design plays a significant role in this.  For example, a tech summit might call for futuristic, linear designs with neon flowers.  However, from corporate parties to weddings, the leading style trend continues to be the creation of a thriving, natural oasis.  Whether it is an enchanted forest or a pristine beach, no matter the event or season, there is a universal desire for people to connect with the outdoors.

If you are planning an outdoor event, choosing artificial flowers and foliage can make the design process easier.  These materials complement the natural environment, adding an extraordinary touch.

For indoor venues, floral installations can transform a space, making it feel as though you are outdoors.  We are moving away from traditional single-arch focal points at weddings and events, with a trend now toward grounded and suspended installations.

Hanging Installations

A more advanced technique, hanging florals are trending because of their ethereal, cloud-like beauty throughout an event.  Suspend them from ceilings using temporary hooks or existing light fixtures.

Dressing Up Interactive Elements

Overall, flowers are becoming more prominent at events.

Guests are discovering that a cake meadow is more luxurious than simply placing a cake on a table.

A flower-covered phone booth vignette, where guests can leave memorable voice messages, has a greater impact than a guest book on a podium.

Guests are more open to floral décor than ever before!

What?

Colors and Flower Varieties in Style

Clients want to convey a sense of effortless beauty.  From makeup and fashion to décor, they rely on professionals to make events look as though they appeared naturally—yet still take your breath away!  How can designers achieve that allure?

Trending Materials

Wildflowers: They evoke a sense of nonchalance, as if just picked from the field, yet they deliver astonishing beauty.  Moving away from pampas grass and dried materials of previous years, this updated style brings color naturally.

Mini Flowers: Mini blooms layered for texture are far trendier than bulbous flowers.  Clustered small blooms create an intentional look, harkening back to personalization.

The Bright Side

Professionals have influenced floral trends by showing clients that bright colors are transformative, and it is catching on.

Bold colors help make industrial environments more welcoming.  Bright palettes inject life into stark white, minimalist spaces, allowing personality to shine.  

Rich colors make historical, refined venues more approachable and modern, adding effortless beauty.

Why?

Prevalent Ideas Around Events

Trends go through a cycle, from early adopters to oversaturation.  The key is to be prepared for the trend as it reaches its peak.  This year, two familiar themes are rising to define the future of events.  These imperative themes are no longer on the periphery but at the core of every client experience.

Sustainability

There is a collective awareness and value placed on sustainability.  Two years ago, The Knot's Real Weddings Study revealed that one-third of couples included eco-friendly options in their weddings, and this number is rapidly increasing.  The awareness of the waste that events generate is top of mind and increasingly actionable for clients.

Personalization

There is a strong desire for novelty and personal expression.  

While personalization can mean using someone's preferred color, it also refers to the attention to detail.  Bespoke elements—the little things that make an event feel one-of-a-kind—are the true trend.  By using floral elements, professional designers know how to convey feelings of calm, happiness, or rejuvenation.  See our trend report for more on emotional expression.
