Bridal Bouquet Trends for 2025

After exploring wedding dress, accessory, and beauty trends for 2025, it’s time to focus on a detail that makes all the difference in a bride’s look: the bridal bouquet. No longer just a simple accessory, the bouquet has taken center stage, becoming a statement piece—a true work of art. For 2025, some of the biggest trends include monochromatic compositions without foliage, creating a striking visual impact by sticking to a single color palette. Other highlights include asymmetrical, artsy bouquets and the flowers of the moment: tulips, calla lilies, anthuriums, and amaranthus.

Just like in bridal fashion and wedding décor, there’s a strong revival of historical elements in bouquet design. The past and future intertwine as bouquet styles popular in the early 20th century make a comeback—some in sleek, modern versions, while others embrace a bold, almost escapist aesthetic, like the dramatically long cascading bouquet reminiscent of Princess Diana’s. One thing is certain: just as foliage-free bouquets dominate, a vintage touch is a common thread in 2025’s top bouquet trends.

The Importance of Bouquet Size

Smaller bouquets highlight the wedding dress, adding an air of delicate sophistication—think Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton gracefully holding petite floral arrangements. More importantly, smaller bouquets are lighter, making them easier to carry elegantly and comfortably throughout the day.

However, the current trend is shifting in a different direction. With the return of minimalist wedding gowns and sleek silhouettes, we’re seeing more structured bouquets featuring clean-lined flowers like calla lilies and tulips. While undeniably stunning, these bouquets often result in thicker stems that can be surprisingly heavy, making them harder to hold with poise. If you’re drawn to these floral choices, it’s something to keep in mind when designing your bouquet.

Now, let’s dive into the top bridal bouquet trends for 2025:

1. Single-Species White Bouquet Without Foliage

One of the key reflections of the clean bride trend is the rise of bouquets composed entirely of a single species of white flower, without any foliage. This approach creates a cohesive and minimalist aesthetic, perfect for brides who appreciate understated elegance.

By highlighting just one type of bloom, this bouquet style celebrates the delicate interplay of color, texture, and shape, proving that simplicity can be extraordinarily sophisticated.

2. Calla Lily Bridal Bouquets

First, let’s clarify a common question: Are calla lilies and arum lilies the same? While both belong to the same botanical genus, the main difference lies in color—traditional arum lilies are white, whereas calla lilies come in a variety of shades.

Now, let’s talk history. During the lavish, full-flower bouquet trends of the 1920s, calla lily bouquets emerged as a more refined, minimalist alternative for modern brides. Just like Lady Mary in Downton Abbey (pictured below), brides in the 1920s and 1930s often carried cascading calla lily bouquets draped over their arms—hence the name “arm bouquet.” The flowers were arranged in a height gradient, allowing each individual bloom to be admired.

In the 1990s, as minimalist bridal styles made a comeback (following the grandeur of the ’80s), calla lily bouquets resurfaced—predominantly in the arm bouquet style. It’s no surprise they are trending once again.

Today, in Brazil, calla lilies and arum lilies are regaining popularity, but this time they are carried in a more traditional way, with shorter stems and aligned flowers.

Internationally, however, they’ve reappeared in a slightly different form. The trend now embraces varying stem heights, showcasing each flower’s elegant silhouette—well-deserved, considering the striking beauty of their design. This approach gives bouquets a cool yet vintage aesthetic.

Another international trend? Long stems, very long stems!—as seen in the image below of a civil wedding. The modern twist on this classic bouquet is also in how it’s held: not draped over the arm but gripped at the middle of the stems.

For brides seeking a minimalist, contemporary look, a single calla lily bouquet is also a stunning choice. With its sleek, elongated shape and bold yet graceful design, it adds a sophisticated, modern touch to any bridal ensemble.

3. Crescent-Shaped Bridal Bouquets: The Elegant “C” Curve

Inspired by the fluidity of nature, a distinct bouquet style became popular in the 1930s. As bridal trends shifted toward more organic and free-flowing designs, structured arm bouquets gave way to crescent-shaped bouquets—resembling the letter “C.”

In 1935, Lady Alice Montagu-Douglas-Scott married Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the third son of King George V. For her wedding day, she carried a large crescent-shaped bouquet—a traditional style of that era—featuring lush garden roses.

This graceful silhouette has made a comeback, but with a contemporary, almost conceptual twist. Today’s trend embraces the use of long-stemmed flowers, such as calla lilies or tulips, as an integral part of the floral design. When held at the center of the stems, gravity allows the flower heads—and additional elements like branches or seed pods—to naturally drape to either side, creating a seamless, organic flow.

For brides seeking an even more elongated effect, florists are incorporating the same techniques used in floral garlands, securing blooms in a way that allows them to cascade gently to the sides, resulting in a dramatic, sweeping floral arrangement.

4. The Artsy Bridal Bouquet: A Bold Statement

Since 2022, the artsy aesthetic has been making waves in wedding décor, and it remains a strong trend for 2025. Now, this creative, unconventional style has extended to bridal bouquets. Characterized by asymmetrical forms, unexpected color combinations, and unique elements, the artsy bouquet turns floral arrangements into a true statement piece.

These bouquets have a loose, unstructured look, with stems at varying heights and a harmonious mix of floral species—including surprising elements like artichokes (as seen in the bouquet of jewelry designer Paola Vilas). Whether with or without foliage, every artsy bouquet is carefully designed to create a seemingly effortless yet highly curated visual composition.

5. Ikebana-Inspired Bridal Bouquets: Minimalist with a Twist

Another artsy floral trend captivating modern brides is what we call the “Ikebana-inspired bouquet.” This lightweight yet statement-making bouquet perfectly complements minimalist bridal looks.

At the heart of this style is maiden grass (Miscanthus sinensis), also known as silvergrass. Arranged in a way reminiscent of traditional Japanese Ikebana, the bouquet takes on the shape of an infinity symbol—a poetic and symbolic choice for a wedding day.

6. White Tulip Bridal Bouquets: Classic Meets Minimalism

White tulips strike the perfect balance between minimalism and classic romance. With their sleek, elongated petals, they offer a cleaner aesthetic compared to roses or peonies while still exuding an air of elegance. Unlike the modern and sculptural shape of calla lilies, tulips maintain a soft, timeless appeal—making them a popular choice among contemporary brides.

However, it’s worth noting that tulip bouquets often have thicker stems, which can make them slightly more challenging to carry.

7. White & Green Anthurium Bouquets: A Contemporary Statement

Anthuriums first emerged in wedding décor around 2019 (we covered this trend at the time!). Since then, they’ve remained a favorite—and now, they’re taking center stage in bridal bouquets.

With their sculptural shape and glossy, wax-like petals, anthuriums bring an exotic, modern touch to floral arrangements. Once a key element in tropical-contemporary bridal bouquets, they are now standing out as the main attraction.

In recent years, we’ve seen a shift: instead of being paired with other blooms, white, pink, or green anthuriums are now often showcased alone or as the bouquet’s focal flower. This choice exudes sophistication and modernity—making it a perfect statement piece for trend-forward brides who embrace contemporary elegance over classic traditions.

8. Amaranthus Bridal Bouquets: A Cascading Floral Trend

Nine out of ten bridal bouquets on Pinterest feature a standout bloom: amaranthus, in lush green or deep red hues. Also known as “fox tail,” this beloved flower is recognized for its cascading, elongated blossoms that resemble delicate tails. Its densely packed, trailing clusters create a striking waterfall effect, adding depth and texture to floral arrangements.

Though widely popular in international wedding florals, amaranthus is now making its mark in Brazilian weddings, bringing a fresh, modern touch even to the most classic bouquets.

9. The “Half White, Half Green” Bouquet: A Bold Contrast

For decades, the white-and-green palette has been a wedding décor favorite in Brazil, consistently evolving while maintaining its timeless appeal. In 2025, the fresh take on this classic combo is what we call the “mezzo white, mezzo green” bouquet.

Unlike traditional blends of white and green florals, this new trend plays with block color separation, creating striking contrasts and bold, artistic shapes. It’s a modern, impactful look that reflects the broader wedding décor trend of structured, color-blocked designs.

10. Red Bridal Bouquets: A Bold, Contemporary Statement

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something… RED.”

Red is the color of the moment in fashion-forward weddings, and in 2025, this trend extends to bridal bouquets. However, today’s red bouquets are far from traditional. Gone are the tight spheres of Colombian roses; instead, we see a more contemporary approach—mixing various flowers and shades, from vibrant scarlet to deep burgundy, in an organic, free-flowing arrangement.

The key to nailing this trend? A bouquet that feels artsy, creative, and effortlessly stylish—steering clear of anything that might feel outdated.

11. Cascading Bridal Bouquets: From Classic to Maximalist

Who could forget Princess Diana’s cascading bridal bouquet? Large and dramatic, just like every other element of her iconic wedding look. Since the 1980s, cascading bouquets have cycled in and out of bridal fashion, defined by their elongated shape that mimics the natural flow of falling flowers and foliage.

The Timeless Appeal of Cascading Bouquets

While a classic choice for traditional brides, cascading bouquets have also been embraced by contemporary trendsetters.

Traditional & Elegant: Medium-sized cascading bouquets remain a beloved choice for Brazilian brides, striking the perfect balance between grandeur and refinement.

Modern & Fashion-Forward: Fashion icon Sabrina Sato took the cascading bouquet to new heights, incorporating multiple trends into one ultra-glamorous, XXL-sized arrangement. Her bouquet, composed entirely of Phalaenopsis orchids, felt modern and proportional to her bold bridal look—proving that cascading bouquets can be both contemporary and elegant.

This revival nods to Edwardian-era bouquets (1900-1910), reinterpreted for modern brides who love drama and grandeur. It’s a statement choice, guaranteed to turn heads as the bride makes her entrance.

For minimalist brides who love the cascading effect but want a lighter touch, a contemporary solution is to reduce volume at the top and use delicate elements to elongate the bouquet. This creates a modern, fresh look—without overshadowing the wedding gown.
