Top 2025–2026 Vancouver Wedding Decor Trends You Need to Know
Sculptural Floral Installations
Expect to see floral designs become more architectural and expressive. In 2025–2026, traditional centerpieces are giving way to:
- Suspended floral chandeliers
- Asymmetrical arches and floral meadows
- Ground-level installations instead of elevated arrangements
Pro Tip: Viva Events offers customizable arches, greenery wall, and elevated centrepiece stands for fresh or artificial florals to bring this look to life.
Color Comeback: Warm Neutrals & Vibrant Accents
Soft earthy tones are still in—but with bold pops of color making a return. Color trends include:
- Peach Fuzz – Pantone’s Color of the Year, perfect for linens, florals, or napkins
- Terracotta, sand, dusty rose, and latte for base tones
- Deep navy, plum, forest green, and mustard as bold accent hues
These tones work beautifully in both rustic outdoor settings and formal ballrooms.
Statement Ceremony Backdrops
Arches are being reimagined as sculptural pieces. Popular designs include:
- Woven or layered panel structures
- Faux greenery walls with neon signs
- Draped backdrops accented with dried florals and soft lighting
For example, layered arches with Peach Fuzz-toned florals and gauze drapes complement the mountainside views.
Textured Tablescapes
Couples are choosing texture over pattern to create interest and sophistication. Trending combinations:
- Gauze or satin table runners over soft linen tablecloths
- Matte stoneware chargers or glass charger plates and glassware
- Powder candles in hurricane vases or ribbed glass holders
Viva’s collection includes blush and sand-toned runners, satin napkins, and a range of decorative candle holders to fit this look.
Lighting as a Design Element
Lighting continues to be one of the most transformative decor elements. In 2025–2026:
- Fairy light canopies and curtain backdrops remain popular
- LED uplighting in warm tones creates ambiance
- Neon signage with couple names or quotes adds a fun modern touch
Viva Events provides string lights and fairy light installations, and full lighting packages for indoor and outdoor venues.
Meaningful Personalization
Couples are focusing more on emotional connection over perfection. Decor ideas include:
- Photo displays or generational table settings
- Personalized welcome signs or cultural nods
