As we step into 2025, couples are more conscious than ever about making eco-friendly choices for their big day. Sustainability is no longer a trend; it’s a way of life. At Flowers by Iberis, we are proud to lead the charge with sustainable wedding floristry, blending timeless elegance with eco-conscious practices. Here’s what’s trending for wedding flowers this year, all with a focus on sustainability, seasonality, and style.
1. Seasonal Blooms Stealing the Spotlight
Seasonal flowers remain a cornerstone of sustainable wedding floristry. By choosing blooms that are naturally in season, couples reduce the carbon footprint associated with importing out-of-season flowers. In 2025, popular choices include:
Spring: Peonies, tulips, ranunculus, and narcissus.
Summer: Sunflowers, dahlias, garden roses, and sweet peas.
Autumn: Chrysanthemums, Amaranthus, and cosmos.
Winter: Hellebores, anemones, and winter foliage like eucalyptus and pine.
Each season offers its unique palette and charm, giving couples the opportunity to match their flowers to the time of year and create truly memorable arrangements.
2. Dried and Preserved Elements
Dried flowers continue to trend, but 2025 takes it a step further by integrating preserved elements with fresh blooms. Think delicate pampas grass paired with roses or preserved foliage intertwined with seasonal flowers. This combination adds texture and longevity to arrangements while reducing waste.
3. Wild and Whimsical Designs
Gone are the days of perfectly polished bouquets. Couples are leaning into the beauty of asymmetry and wild, garden-style arrangements. These designs evoke a sense of natural abundance, often incorporating wildflowers, grasses, and loose greenery to create an organic, free-flowing look.
4. Sustainable Vessels and Materials
At Flowers by Iberis, we prioritize eco-friendly materials. Expect to see:
Compostable floral foam alternatives for installations.
Upcycled or locally sourced vases and containers.
Biodegradable ribbons and ties, adding an elegant touch without the environmental guilt.
For larger installations, such as arches or hanging arrangements, we emphasize reusable structures and encourage repurposing blooms throughout the day—from ceremony backdrops to reception decor.
5. Earthy Tones and Soft Pastels
Color trends for 2025 are inspired by nature. Couples are drawn to earthy tones like terracotta, sage green, and sandy beige, complemented by soft pastels such as blush pink, lavender, and creamy whites. This palette pairs beautifully with sustainable, seasonal blooms and rustic wedding themes.
6. Eco-Friendly Favors
Floral-inspired wedding favors are gaining popularity. Mini potted plants, seed packets, or small bouquets made from leftover flowers serve as heartfelt, sustainable gifts for guests to take home, reducing waste while spreading joy.
7. Local Partnerships
As a family-run florist, Iberis is committed to supporting local growers. By sourcing from British flower farms, we minimize transportation emissions and support the local economy. This also means our flowers are fresher, more fragrant, and naturally aligned with the seasons.
