If you’re planning a Colorado wedding in 2025, you’re probably wondering which floral trends will make your big day truly unforgettable. As a Denver wedding florist with nearly two decades of experience, I’ve got the inside scoop on what’s blooming this year — from mountain-inspired designs to seasonal favorites that fit Colorado’s unique vibe.

1. Wild & Whimsical Bouquets
Natural, free-flowing arrangements with wildflowers, greenery, and unexpected textures are all the rage. Think airy eucalyptus, thistle, and seasonal blooms that capture Colorado’s untamed beauty.

2. Sustainable & Locally Sourced Flowers
Couples are choosing eco-friendly florals grown locally to reduce their carbon footprint — a trend that aligns perfectly with Colorado’s love for nature.

3. Rich Jewel Tones for Fall Weddings
Deep reds, burgundy, and plum-colored flowers like dahlias and ranunculus add drama and warmth to fall weddings in the mountains.

4. Soft Pastels for Spring & Summer
Delicate peonies, garden roses, and sweet peas in soft pinks, creams, and lavender are perfect for romantic spring and summer Colorado weddings.

5. Textured Greenery & Foliage
Dusty miller, seeded eucalyptus, and olive branches bring lush texture and a natural feel to bouquets and centerpieces.

6. Bold Statement Flowers
Protea, orchids, and large tropical blooms are gaining popularity for couples wanting a modern, bold floral statement even in mountain weddings.

7. Mix of Vintage & Modern Styles
Florals blending old-world charm with contemporary touches — like combining garden roses with sleek calla lilies — create unique, personalized bouquets.

8. Floral Installations & Backdrops
From ceremony arches to reception walls, large-scale floral designs are becoming show-stopping centerpieces at Colorado weddings.

• Spring (April–June): Tulips, ranunculus, peonies, lilacs
• Summer (July–August): Dahlias, garden roses, sunflowers, wildflowers
• Fall (September–October): Zinnias, chrysanthemums, dahlias, berries
