You've got the dress, you've got the shoes, you've got the hair style.
Now for the leading accessory in your Bridal Look ...
Your wingwoman - the bouquet.
Discover the top wedding bouquet trends in 2026 taking hold of bridal fashion in Australia and the US.
We've had the honour of creating bouquets for many Brides around the globe, not just Australian Brides. Straying from the run-of-the-mill ordinary designs (like the typical boring white rose posy bouquet) we lean towards fresher, more dynamic designs such as the waterfall cascade and hoop bouquet.
As Kristine Satorre, founder of Modern Brides BFF says about the bridal bouquet, 'execution is crucial'.
Read on to learn about 5 of 2026's best bridal bouquet trends going strong into 2027.
Bouquet Trend #1 - The Hoop Purse Bouquet
Whatever you call it - the hoop bouquet, purse bouquet, circular bouquet, hand bag bouquet, floral accessory - this is one trend that is going to become timeless.
The benefits are endless.
Converts your bouquet from an archaic & stale wedding outfit fixture to an elevated accessory. Upgrade the boring bouquet!
Free up your hands!
Resting gracefully on your wrist, a hoop bouquet gives you back both hands meaning you can dance the night away, sip champagne, greet your guests, cut your wedding cake and be fully present during your wedding photographs.
Imagine your photographs - holding your custom hoop bouquet all night long means more photographs of you and your stunning accessory.
Get more bang for your buck - enjoy your wedding flowers to the maximum!
Lightweight and elegant look.
A fantastic fresh look for Brides who are having large luxe weddings OR intimate courthouse weddings.
Create floral cohesion amongst your Bridal Party with a hoop bouquet!
Opt for a hoop purse bouquet for the Maid of Honour, Bridesmaids, Mother of Bride, Mother of the Groom.
"There are only certain florists I will recommend because execution is crucial and essential to the structures." – Kristine Satorre, founder of Modern Brides BFF - as quoted in Vogue.
Bouquet Trend #2 - The waterfall cascading bouquet
The waterfall bouquet is seeing a resurgence - but did it ever really go away?
Don't imagine the flat outdated teardrop bouquet from the 70s and 80s. The image below is channeling bridal inspo from the 1980s.
The waterfall bouquet trending today is fresh and reimagined with the cascade effect supplied by florals such as orchids and greenery like amaranth. A waterfall cascade with great structure and architecture moves with your gait.
As we always say, there is so much beauty in detail flowers like micro lily of the valley and embellishing the cascade trail with other floral elements.
Cascade bouquets with a trail of thick, opulent orchids is the most popular style of waterfall bouquet here at JW Weddings Australia.
Bouquet Trend #3 - Amaranth
A great follow-on to Bouquet Trend # 3 - amaranth with its flowing green tails lend a botanic and earthy look for modern bouquets.
Our Tropical Sunshine bouquet below can attest. Those green trails of vibrant green amaranth in the back are indispensable to the overall vibe and feel of this bouquet.
Special note on the amaranth: it is not just green.
The beautiful fuchsia/red amaranth goes by the name Red Garnet or Love-Lies-Bleeding.
Bouquet Trend #4 - Pearlescent Detailing.
A little bit of detail goes a long way. Pearls (along with bows) have been trending hard on social media and in the wedding industry. Micro-pearls as an embellishment is the most elegant way to add detailing to your bouquet. Understated but unmistakable, you can see the difference in photographs.
By choosing an artificial bouquet, the sky is the limit!
These days, artificial bouquets are a fashion AND luxury statement. From the intentional selection of the Wedding Dress, the gem on the engagement ring, motifs, colour scheme, the aesthetic of the venue - innumerable decisions are guided by ethical and environmental reasons. The Wedding Bouquet is NOT an afterthought. It is an extension of your Bridal Look, the bridal bouquet is your wingwoman.
Whether you have pearl detailing on your dress or not, going for pearlescent features on your bouquet is never a wrong choice!
Bouquet Trend #5 - Structured and Modern.
Asymmetrical and minimalist bouquets are having a moment this wedding season. Structure, minimalism, restraint and imbalance - all tying back to being intentional.
For instance, our trending pink orchid circular hoop bouquet (pictured above).
Clean lines, modern and trendy design for a minimalist wedding bouquet.
Trends aside, your wedding bouquet will be timeless!
In conclusion, 2026 and 2027 trends are leaning strong into the hoop purse bouquet, cascades with luscious trails of orchid, vibrant green amaranth trails, pearlescent detailing for that luxury feel, and minimalist modern styles of bouquet.
Enjoy the process and enjoy the planning - the day comes and goes so quickly!
