The 2025 bridal season is all about soft elegance, natural shapes and a fresh interpretation of romance. In the spotlight? Roses in pastel shades, combined with unexpected colour accents that add that extra touch. This trend brings together the best of both worlds: the timeless charm of roses and the modern desire for sophistication, softness and a touch of personality.
Soft pastel colours: the basis of the bouquet
In 2025, pastel colours predominate in bridal flowers. Besides white roses, pastel-coloured roses are totally the trend this year. Think of:
- Powder pink roses - romantic, classic and always good
- Light peach or apricot - warm and elegant without being overpowering
- Lilac and lavender - soft and dreamy, with a vintage wink
Together, these shades create a subtle colour palette that exudes tranquillity, romance and class.
A little pop of colour: bold but sophisticated
What makes this trend so special is the contrast between soft base tones and one or two playful colour accents. Think:
- A deep pink or raspberry pink rose in an otherwise pastel bouquet
- A touch of coral for a summery touch
- Roses in lilac to purple for a cool balance
This ‘pop of colour’ attracts just enough attention without disturbing the harmony. It gives the bouquet or flower arrangement personality and depth.
The wedding honor guard: here's how to do it
At the end of your beautiful day, guests form a guard of honour at the venue exit. You then walk to the car (or other transport), while your guests have lined up to the left and right of the exit. Order rose petals that guests can then scatter. You can choose a salmon, or soft pink colour for the rose petals here, but if you like to have that pop of colour, you can also go straight for a mixed box full of rose petals! It really adds something to your day and makes for the most beautiful wedding photos.
Sustainable elegance
Brides are increasingly aware of the impact of their choices. In 2025, many will opt for seasonal grown roses, or even reusable silk flowers in pastel colours. Flower arrangements are also more often reused between ceremony and party - a sustainable yet stylish solution. For example, use table centerpiece sets for decoration at the ceremony along the aisle and place two bouquets of centerpieces at the altar on either side. You can then use the same table centerpieces on your guests' tables at dinner. Place the bouquets at the entrance of the venue, you will make an immediate impression when your guests enter. Not only is this sustainable, but it also unifies the style of the wedding. It gives peace of mind and creates atmosphere on the whole day!
Getting married in 2025? Opt for the power of pastels, with just that one accent that makes all the difference. Would you like advice on flower combinations, use of colour or roses in your favourite style? Feel free to get in touch - we would love to think with you, which bouquet suits you best!
