Color & Floral Trends We’re Loving for Weddings
At Whitney Farm Estate in Oxford, Maine, we’ve seen firsthand how the right color palette and floral design can transform a space—especially in a setting as naturally beautiful as a barn or farm venue. If you're planning your big day surrounded by rustic charm, here are a few fresh floral and color trends we’re currently loving:
Soft, Earthy Tones
Sage green, dusty rose, warm taupe, and creamy ivory continue to be timeless choices. These tones beautifully complement barn wood, open fields, and the natural light of the New England countryside, bringing out the warmth and elegance of the setting.
Local & Seasonal Florals
Leaning into what's in bloom locally not only supports regional growers, but also creates a celebration that feels grounded in time and place. In Zones 4 and 5 (our growing area of Maine), some of our favorite seasonal standouts include:
Late Spring/Summer: Peonies, dahlias, garden roses, foxglove, delphinium, cosmos, sweet peas, and zinnias
Fall: Chrysanthemums, Amaranthus, celosia, scabiosa & hydrangea
Year-Round Textures: Ferns, grasses, herbs, dried blooms, and foraged greens
From lush peonies in late spring to romantic dahlias and delicate garden flowers throughout the summer, seasonal blooms offer unmatched beauty and softness that feel right at home in a farm setting.
Natural & Loose Arrangements
The "freshly gathered" look is having a major moment. We’re seeing couples embrace wild, meadow-style designs with unstructured bouquets and centerpieces that feel like they were plucked straight from a field making it feel charming, effortless, and full of life.
Touches of Texture
Dried elements like bunny tails, berries, and soft grasses add visual interest and natural movement. These layers bring depth to arrangements and add a rustic-chic feel that pairs beautifully with the barn backdrop.
Most Importantly: Make it Yours
Trends can inspire, but your wedding should feel like you. Whether you love lush, romantic florals or minimal, organic touches, the best floral designs reflect your story, style, and the feeling you want to create. Don’t be afraid to mix traditions with personal touches. After all, it’s those unique choices that make your day unforgettable.
At Whitney Farm Estate, we love seeing each couple bring their vision to life through thoughtful color palettes, textures, and florals that truly reflect them.
