Top Wedding Floral Trends for 2026
A quiet moment on the Regions Tower rooftop — just the two of them with the city skyline behind and sunlight catching her veil. There’s nothing quite like how the Regions Tower rooftop opens up the whole city around you.
Simple ideas. Stunning impact. Here’s what’s blooming next year in Indianapolis weddings.
If you’re planning your wedding in or around Indianapolis for 2026, it’s time to talk flowers! Trends are shifting toward intentional, personality-filled designs — arrangements that feel custom to you instead of copied from Pinterest.
At K.I.S Florals, we keep it simple (and stunning). Whether your style leans timeless and classic or bold and modern, here’s what’s trending in the wedding floral world — and how we can make it work for your big day right here in Indy.
Trend #1: Texture Is Everything
FRUIT!! Talk about a fun and beautiful arrangement. The different textures beautifully wove together to create a very visually interesting head table arrangement.
This year, it’s all about texture. Couples are loving layers — soft petals mixed with greenery, dried accents, and sculptural branches that make arrangements feel full and alive.
In Indianapolis venues, from rooftop spaces downtown to barn-style weddings out in Carmel or Zionsville, textured florals stand out beautifully. They add depth without needing tons of color or over-the-top arrangements.
Our take: We love combining ruffled blooms (like roses or ranunculus) with draping greenery or structured stems to give your florals that “wow” factor without going overboard.
Trend #2: Bold Color Blocking
This wedding was color-blocking PERFECTION. Every flower felt so strategically placed. One of our favorite cake stands we ever did.
Neutrals will always have a place, but 2026 is seeing more couples embrace bold color moments — either through color-blocked sections or grouped flowers of one tone.
It’s a simple way to make your florals look editorial and modern without being “too much.” Picture a table where one arrangement is all soft peach blooms, the next is rich mauve, and the next is buttery yellow — together, they look stunningly cohesive.
Our take: We’ll help you balance bright and soft tones so it feels coordinated, not chaotic. Color blocking is one of our favorite ways to make floral design feel high-end and fun.
Trend #3: Tropical Meets Traditional
This was one of the first tropical inspired modern weddings we have done. The giant palm leaves made a massive statement and a lasting impression. So much fun!
Indianapolis couples are starting to blend tropical flair with classic floral styles — and we’re here for it. Think timeless roses or peonies mixed with tropical greenery, orchids, or even anthurium for that extra touch of drama.
This combo brings a fresh, modern feel to venues that already have strong architectural features (like The Regions Tower rooftop or Indianapolis Public Library spaces). It’s bold, current, and still timeless.
Our take: You don’t have to pick between lush and sleek — we’ll help you blend both worlds to match your venue and your vibe.
Trend #4: Sustainable and Intentional Florals
We love seeing more couples think intentionally about how to get the most out of their flowers. Sustainability in floral design doesn’t just mean using local blooms — it’s about designing with purpose and making your flowers work double-duty throughout the day.
One of the easiest (and smartest) ways to do this is by repurposing your ceremony pieces for the reception. Those beautiful urn arrangements that framed your aisle or altar: After the ceremony, they can be moved to either side of your head table or sweetheart table, creating a dramatic, elevated focal point for your reception. It’s a seamless way to carry the ceremony’s floral style into the rest of the evening.
The same goes for aisle ground florals. Instead of leaving them behind, your coordinator or planner can reposition them in front of the head table, along the stage, or near the dance floor for extra color and texture. These arrangements are designed to sit low and full, so they create a lush, photo-ready backdrop without blocking anyone’s view.
By reusing these designs, you’re not only being eco-friendly — you’re getting more beauty for your budget and keeping your entire event cohesive from start to finish.
Our take: We’ll plan ahead to make sure each piece transitions smoothly from ceremony to reception, so you can enjoy stunning florals all night long.
Trend #5: Statement Moments Over Quantity
We absolutely LOVED doing this photo backdrop. It was an eye catcher that everyone had to take a picture at!
Instead of filling every corner with flowers, couples are choosing one or two big statement pieces — and letting those shine.
That might mean a tall ball arrangement at your reception entrance, a floral arch for your ceremony, or a full greenery garland lining your head table. It’s about creating those “stop and stare” moments guests will remember.
Our take: We’ll help you figure out where to go big and where to keep it simple. You don’t need more — you just need intentional.
The only thing more beautiful than the floral was the incredible sunset lighting!! We may be biased but Regions rooftop always has the best sunsets!
