Top Wedding Trends: 2026 Edition

As we began talking about spring and summer 2026, we turned to our planners with a simple question: What are you seeing with your wedding clients right now? The answers were immediate and consistent. Couples asking thoughtful questions, making intentional choices, and focusing less on tradition for tradition’s sake and more on how the day will feel — for themselves and for their guests.

Sustainability continues to be top of mind. Our planners are seeing more couples ask where their ingredients are coming from, what’s in season locally, and how we can reduce waste without sacrificing style. Farm-to-table menus, locally sourced blooms, composting, reusable décor elements, and thoughtful sourcing are becoming part of the planning process from the very beginning. We’re also having more conversations around food rescue — partnering with local organizations to donate untouched surplus food so that a celebration can extend its impact beyond the guest list. It’s less about making a statement and more about making choices that feel aligned with a couple’s values.

Food is taking center stage in a new way, too. Rather than simply planning a dinner, couples are asking how the meal can feel like an experience. We’re talking about chef-attended stations, beautifully styled raw bars, abundant grazing tables, and late-night bites that keep the dance floor full. Our planners are collaborating closely with culinary teams to design moments that spark conversation — interactive elements, thoughtful pairings, and personalized cocktails that feel like an extension of the couple’s story.

And then there are the florals. Botanical design in 2026 feels immersive and alive. Planners are gravitating toward installations that shape the space — hanging greenery, sculptural centerpieces, layered textures, and seasonal blooms that move naturally. Whether the look is lush and romantic or clean and modern, the common thread is intention. Flowers aren’t just décor; they’re atmosphere.

If there’s a theme running through everything we’re hearing, it’s this: spring and summer weddings this year are grounded, experiential, and deeply personal. Sustainability, elevated cuisine, and artful floral design aren’t trends for trend’s sake — they’re thoughtful choices that create celebrations guests can truly feel.
