If we had to sum up the Real BB Weddings of 2025 in a single word, it would be surprise. What began as visions saved to Pinterest boards, Instagram folders, and iPhone notes blossomed into once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, blending luxury florals, thoughtful design, and intentional styling with deeply personal details to create singular, heartfelt experiences for newlyweds, guests, and vendors alike.

We were especially delighted to see timeless mainstays – white florals and lush greenery, candelabra décor, and classic black-tie aesthetics – reimagined in bold and unexpected ways. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or by the book. It’s never lost on us that we play a role in telling each couple’s love story, creating a floral backdrop for the first chapter of many still to come. Join us as we look back on these breathtaking moments from the Real BB Weddings of 2025.

For many of our brides, the wedding bouquet is the defining element that inspires the rest of their floral decor. It is no secret then that we love designing handheld arrangements – not only essential from a planning standpoint, they are a deeply symbolic expression of a woman’s style and personality. And for this reason, it should appear as though she is carrying the arrangement, not the other way around.

Choosing blooms that make an impression while accentuating a bride’s ensemble instead of distracting from it can be challenging. At this point, we’d like to turn the conversation to the long-stemmed wedding bouquet. What’s so exciting (and surprising!) about the featured designs is how they read as dramatic but not overly bold, polished but not overly restrained. Read on for long-stemmed wedding bouquet ideas for the classic bride.

The candelabra has been lighting up tablescapes for centuries. Purely functional at the beginning, they transformed into ornate, gilded displays trimmed with flowers and fruit covering tables at lavish dinners and special events. Elegantly spectacular, it’s no wonder that couples today are still choosing to incorporate the candelabra centerpiece into their wedding reception decor.

What’s so attractive about the candelabra is the Old-World allure that it brings to wedding decor. It’s a distinctive aesthetic however and may not work if you lean toward a chicer and simpler look. The question then is can you still have the same sky-high luminosity at dinner, but without the baroque excess and frills? Looking back on our favorite wedding decor trends for 2024, we are happy to say that it’s absolutely possible.
