Vibrant colors."We are expecting vibrant colors throughout the season! While we love the traditional white and greens, it's nice to see color blocking and mixing of color tones. We are all for it and excited to see what this season brings!" —Erica Trombetti, Infinite Events

Orchids."We will see orchids have a big presence in design in the coming year. They are versatile and can fit into any aesthetic, from classic to modern and can even elevate a laid-back bohemian style. Nothing says elegance like a gorgeous, crisp white phaelenopsis orchid."—Bri Williams, owner, Bri Williams Events

Cake gardens. "Cake gardens are an up-and-coming trend for 2023! They involve adding a ring of floral around the cake as if the cake magically popped up right in the middle of a floral garden. It really creates a beautiful setting for the cake cutting event and detail photos. Pocket boutonnières are also a popular trend, which means the flower pops out of the breast pocket. Our most stylish bridal parties are asking for them to go with their high fashion attire choices." —Valarie Falvey, Kirkbrides Wedding Planning & Design

Dried & Pressed florals."Floral design is one of the main focuses when creating the design for your entire wedding. A trend I believe will be 'budding' for 2023 will be pressed florals. Whether it is in place cards, a welcome sign or on your menu, your floral design can carry all the way through your wedding and not just be in your centerpieces. This creative and unique approach will have your guests amazed and talking about it for a long time after." —Casey Stamouli, Owner & Lead Planner, Casey & Co. Events
"We also anticipate the continued use of dried and preserved flowers, especially with bouquets and hair pieces. The ever-popular floral crowns will be replaced with delicate dried (or live) floral clips and pins to enhance a specific style." —Nora Sheils, Founder Bridal Bliss + Co-Founder Rock Paper Coin
High-impact florals."While we have oohed and awed over the look of small bud vases spanning the length of tables, we are thrilled about the reintroduction of high-impact florals. These arrangements could be found in the center of a table or even better, hung from up high. We are predicting a more clean aesthetic for place settings, minimal but still incredibly elegant. Neutrals will still be trending, but the addition of soft pops of color from some of our favorite flowers, poppies, roses & wildflowers will help to bring a table to life, and pull in the Pantone color of the year!" —Sheils

Low centerpieces."For 2023, we are planning many weddings with low, sprawling, lush centerpieces (instead of high centerpieces). This gives the table decor a fuller look. The garden-y look is in right now and as popular as ever." —Valarie Falvey, Kirkbrides Wedding Planning & Design

Color block florals."Color block florals! I anticipate this sweeping trend of incorporating an entire palette vs. just one to two colors to root down in events as we see more and more couples opting for mismatched wedding party attire. This simply allows them to take it a step further and ensure everything looks cohesive as a result." —Ashley Lachney, Owner of Alston Mayger Events

Statement florals."As the days of neutrals and blush tones fade to the background, keep an eye out for big and bold in the floral realm of 2023! Statement pieces in a disjointed and asymmetrical style will take the focus in your floral décor along with bright, eye-catching color. This design style may be carried out during ceremonies with playful altar accents or during receptions with tall and striking centerpieces. You might even consider incorporating this look into a bridal bouquet for a dazzling personal floral display." —Alexandra Denniston, Owner & Lead Planner, Eventlightenment Planning
