Wedding Floral Trends Every Bride Should Know
Flowers are one of the most powerful ways to bring beauty, romance, and personality into your wedding day. At Southern Fig Events, we believe florals should do more than decorate a space—they should tell your story. Whether you love timeless elegance or modern, moody designs, here are some of the top wedding floral trends that brides in Tennessee are falling in love with.
1. Garden-Inspired Bouquets
Loose, organic bouquets filled with seasonal blooms are having a big moment. Brides are moving away from perfectly round arrangements and choosing textured, flowing designs that look freshly gathered from the garden. This style feels romantic, natural, and effortlessly beautiful.
2. Statement Ceremony Installations
From floral arches to asymmetrical ground arrangements, statement ceremony pieces create unforgettable backdrops. These large-scale designs not only frame your vows but also double as photo-worthy spots throughout the evening. Many couples repurpose these florals later at the reception for extra impact.
3. Bold, Moody Color Palettes
While blush and ivory remain classic, more brides are embracing moody romantic colors—think deep burgundy, rust, mauve, and emerald. These palettes bring richness and drama to weddings, especially in fall and winter.
4. Mixing Fresh and Dried Florals
A trend growing in popularity is blending fresh blooms with dried elements like pampas grass, preserved ruscus, or bunny tails. The mix creates texture and depth, and dried pieces often become keepsakes after the wedding.
5. Lush Tablescapes
Floral centerpieces are no longer just single arrangements in vases. Couples are opting for lush tablescapes that weave greenery, candles, and blooms down the length of the table. These designs feel immersive and elevate the dining experience.
💡 Pro Tip: Think about your flowers as part of your overall wedding design. Your bouquet, ceremony pieces, and reception florals should feel cohesive, tying your vision together beautifully.
At Southern Fig Events, we specialize in creating wedding florals in Tennessee that reflect each couple’s unique style. From bouquets and centerpieces to ceremony installations, we design with creativity, detail, and heart.

Wedding Floral FAQs
What are the most popular wedding flowers in Tennessee?
Some of the most popular wedding flowers for Tennessee brides include roses, peonies, ranunculus, hydrangeas, dahlias, and eucalyptus greenery. Seasonal blooms are always a great choice because they’re fresher, more affordable, and naturally match the time of year.
How much should I budget for wedding florals?
Most couples allocate 10–15% of their overall wedding budget to florals. This includes the bridal bouquet, bridesmaids’ bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony flowers, and reception centerpieces. Larger installations, like floral arches or hanging arrangements, may require a higher budget.
Can I reuse ceremony flowers at my reception?
Yes! Repurposing flowers is a smart way to maximize your budget. For example, a ceremony arch can be moved behind your sweetheart table, or aisle arrangements can become reception centerpieces. At Southern Fig Events, we design florals with flexibility in mind, so you get the most from your investment.
What are the trending wedding bouquet styles?
Brides today are loving loose, garden-style bouquets with organic shapes. Many are choosing textured designs that combine soft blooms with greenery or dried elements. Classic round bouquets are still popular, but free-flowing bouquets feel more modern and romantic.
How far in advance should I book my wedding florist?
It’s best to book your florist 8–12 months before your wedding. Popular dates book quickly, especially in spring and fall. Booking early ensures you get your dream flowers and allows your florist time to plan seasonal selections that match your vision.
💡 Tip: When meeting with your florist, bring inspiration photos, your color palette, and an idea of your budget. This helps us create a floral plan that’s both beautiful and realistic.
