Five Trends To Style Your Wedding
If you’re looking for wedding day inspiration, this year’s trends are the perfect place to start. Use them to help create a personalised day, filled with thoughtful details and creative, meaningful touches to reflect your story as a couple. Whether you’re planning your own wedding or supporting a loved one, our guide will help turn wedding decor ideas into something truly unforgettable.
1. Soft Drapes, Rich Texture
Set the scene with big and bold touches to transform your venue. Draping silky-soft fabrics is a key way to add style when used as a statement installation, either framing entrances or creating sculptural backdrops, which photograph beautifully. Add textures to the room with soft linens and big bows. Bows are still a key wedding look, but this year it’s all about going large with strategic placement. Think dramatic chair, table or arch accents, or a bow garland like our elegant floral and bow Ladurée Paris Garland set.
2. A Pastel Palette
For wedding decor and table styling colour schemes, pastels and muted tones are a winning option. Pale blues, soft greys and monochrome colours are a look to love this year. Metallic touches like silver or brushed gold, easily achieved with candelabras or candle sticks, are perfect to elevate the effect. Last year’s use of bright, bold blooms has now softened, with pastel florals leading the way for wedding table flowers now. Think blush, pale blue, lavender and buttery yellow, arranged with artful shapes, layered heights and just the right amount of structure. Texture is everywhere, with petals paired with foliage, trailing stems and even the occasional fresh fruit, like grapes, for a playful touch.
3. Seating With A Curve
Serpentine aisles and seating are a wonderful wedding decor trend for 2026, offering a softer, more fluid alternative to traditional straight-line layouts. Their gently curving shapes will create a natural sense of movement through both the ceremony and reception spaces, while encouraging intimacy and connection between your guests. Visually striking yet effortlessly elegant, serpentine tables give a distinctive look that will enhance the experience for every guest.
4. Grazing In Style
Reception grazing tables are one of the most exciting wedding trends for 2026, turning food into an experience that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. Think abundant spreads of cheeses, charcuterie, fresh fruit, bread and sweet treats, arranged like a work of art for guests to explore at their own pace. More than just a meal, they’re a delightful way to encourage mingling and conversation. Also the ideal opportunity to add a personal touch, to share the couple’s favourite foods and drinks. Sweet treats are a particular focal point this year, often gaining their own special table, with a nod to nostalgia. Think wedding cakes with piped ruffles for an elaborate, romantic touch; single-tiered sheet cakes as a centrepiece extravaganza; and retro desserts like mini meringues and macarons – pure sugar heaven! Our Ladurée Paris Macaron Cart Centrepiece is the ideal way to display delectable little delights.
5. Lit with Love
Weddings are all about creating unforgettable atmospheres with statement lighting. From dramatic chandeliers to layered fairy lights, using illumination as a design element can help shape mood and highlight decor. Wedding candles will add a soft, romantic glow when placed on tables, lining aisles or tucked into unexpected corners, to create warmth and intimacy that guests will remember long after the day ends. Pastel table candles lean beautifully into the wedding pastel décor trend to create a contemporary, curated look.
