Wedding Trends: The Essential Floral Colour Palettes of Recent Years
From bouquet to centrepieces
The colour palette is one of the most powerful elements in a wedding's floral design. It sets the tone, creates an atmosphere and harmonises all the visual details — from the bouquet to the centrepieces, the chairs to the ribbons. Here are the palettes that have defined recent years and those that continue to lead in 2026.
Fuchsia & orange — energy, modernity, visual impact
Bold and vibrant, the fuchsia & orange palette has been one of the great trends in creative weddings in recent years.
It creates a sunny, festive and ultra-photogenic atmosphere. Ideal for summer weddings or those who dare to go in a strong direction.
- Fuchsia dahlias
- Coral roses
- Orange lilies
- Touches of saffron yellow
- Deep green foliage
This palette makes a lasting impression and works particularly well with rich fabrics (velvet, satin) or metallic accents.
Sage green — organic softness and natural elegance
The sage green palette has established itself as a staple for elegant, soft bohemian and natural weddings.
It is a neutral, sophisticated and calming colour that pairs perfectly with fresh flowers, lush foliage and refined textiles.
- Sage green + pure white
- Sage green + cream
- Sage green + champagne
- Sage green + blush touches
Sage green remains one of the most enduring palettes in high-end weddings because it works in every season.

It is a particularly powerful palette in autumn/winter, but can also be used in summer for a very structured, editorial aesthetic.

The combination creates a sense of organic richness: luxurious without being ostentatious.

A strong trend over recent years and still going in 2026, the terracotta & olive palette is ideal for a bohemian chic wedding or nature-inspired décor.
- Antique roses in terracotta tones
- Light brown
- Soft olive and greenish tones

This palette is perfect for nature chic weddings or those inspired by Mediterranean landscapes.
Nude pink & countryside — subtle romanticism and luminosity
Softer than the others, this palette remains very popular because it creates light and delicacy.
