At Eleven Eighty, we’re all about keeping things fresh, creative, and uniquely yours. When it comes to wedding florals, no one does it quite like our good friends at Brilliant Blooms. They’ve been filling our South Coast Wedding Venue Eleven Eighty with floral magic since we opened and with 2025 on the horizon, they’ve got their finger on the pulse of the hottest trends. Here’s what’s they have to say about what is blooming in the world of wedding flowers!
- Flower Clouds: A Dreamy Alternative
One trend that’s catching everyone’s eye is the rise of flower clouds. Imagine clusters of gorgeous flowers, seemingly floating in the air without a visible vase or structure. These ethereal creations have been showing up everywhere—on tables, as bar features, and even lining the aisle. The organic, cloud-like effect makes them a stunning alternative to traditional vase arrangements. Whether they’re used to frame a ceremony or add whimsy to a reception, these floral designs give off a beautifully natural, free-flowing vibe.

2. Lovers Moon Arrangements: Crescent-Shaped Magic
If you’re looking for a statement piece for your ceremony, Lovers Moon arrangements are all the rage. These crescent-shaped floral displays sit on the ground, bringing a meadow-like feel to the space without using heavy structures. Brilliant Blooms loves crafting these whimsical designs, and the best part? They’re versatile. After the ceremony, you can repurpose them to style your reception—whether it’s in front of the tables, by the bar, or as a photo backdrop. It’s all about making the most of your florals.

- Plinth Perfection: Playing with Heights and Textures
For couples who love to mix things up, combining a variety of plinths with flower clouds is a must-try trend. By using plinths of different sizes and textures, Brilliant Blooms creates dynamic displays that add visual interest to your ceremony or reception. These multi-level arrangements give off an effortlessly stylish look, perfect for couples who want a bit of modern flair. Plus, just like the Lovers Moon, they can be moved around to keep the floral magic going all day long. Photo Credit: Textured Plinth Arrangements: Eliza Jade Photography
- Half Arches & Organic Ceremony Features
Goodbye, traditional rectangle arbours! 2025 is all about half arches and organic shapes for ceremony backdrops. These floral structures are designed to frame the couple in a way that feels natural and effortless, using the beauty of the venue’s backdrop to enhance the moment. Whether it’s a delicate half-arch or a more freeform arrangement, this trend lets Brilliant Blooms play with different flowers and foliage to create something totally unique for each couple.

- Bold & Bright Colour Palettes
When it comes to colour, couples are embracing the bold and the bright. We’re talking warm and cool tones mixing together in fun, unexpected ways. Brilliant Blooms has been seeing a surge in weddings that embrace vibrant, happy colour schemes—perfect for couples who want to make a statement. With so many textures and colours to play with, they’re loving the freedom to get creative and push boundaries.

- Unstructured, Whimsical Designs
2025’s vibe? Unstructured, whimsical, and full of creativity. Couples are opting for florals that feel more organic, with loose, flowing arrangements and stems that protrude playfully from the main design. This relaxed style adds a carefree energy to the day and creates a sense of natural beauty that feels anything but forced.

They’re working closely with couples to bring their floral dreams to life, taking care of everything from pre-wedding consultations to the big reveal on the day.
Ready to make your wedding florals unforgettable? At Eleven Eighty, we know the right florals can transform your day. If you’re dreaming of whimsical flower clouds, a bold colour palette, or something entirely new, our friends at Brilliant Blooms are the perfect team to bring your vision to life. Here’s what mother daughter team Sarah and Jessica have to say about working with Eleven Eighty: “First off, it’s the people—the Eleven Eighty team are an absolute dream to collaborate with. We work with a lot of traditional function centers, but Eleven Eighty is anything but typical. The venue’s distinctive vibe gives us so much freedom to get creative. We’ve had the pleasure of designing florals for every corner of the space—the Marquee roof, the barn, the hall, the courtyard, the tables, and even the garden. What we really love is how versatile the venue is. It has its own unique style, yet it’s a blank canvas for any colour palette or design concept, so we never feel creatively limited.”
Every wedding brings new ideas and fresh inspiration, and Brilliant Blooms can’t wait to see what trends will continue to bloom in 2025. Whether it’s bold new styles or timeless classics, they’re always ready to bring your floral vision to life with a touch of creative flair.
