Frothy, Fruity, Fabulous: The Floral Trend That’s Here to Stay
The sculptural fruit-and-floral arrangements stealing the show in 2025—and what’s next for 2026
A Feast for the Eyes
One of the most joyful wedding floral trends of 2025 has been the rise of fruit-filled, sculptural floral arrangements. These decadent, almost edible designs are an artistic way to add texture, tone, and movement to a wedding or event—creating a multisensory tablescape that guests want to linger around.
While not designed for grazing, these arrangements often include grapes, citrus, or melons whose presence tempts the eye and sometimes the palate. The result? A display that feels romantic, painterly, and entirely unforgettable.
The Fruit Forecast for 2026: Bigger, Bolder, Juicier
This fruit-forward floral trend shows no sign of slowing down. In fact, we predict it will evolve and grow in even more creative directions.
Expect to see:
Beaded strings of cherries and berries cascading from arches or chandeliers
Painted or dyed produce used as textural highlights
Vegetables with form and beauty (hello, cabbages and artichokes)
Sliced fruit with ornamental insides creating pattern and intrigue
Cascades of glossy fruit as centrepieces or bar decor
The aim? Maximalist natural art. Florals that feel as if they’ve tumbled out of a Renaissance still life—but modern, fresh, and Instagram-worthy.
The Mechanics Behind the Magic
These displays may look effortless, but behind the scenes they require careful construction and testing.
We experiment constantly in the studio to ensure each sculptural display is secure, hydrated, and able to withstand the duration of your event. From preventing fruit from bruising or drying out, to balancing the weight of citrus within installations—this isn’t just styling, it’s floral engineering.
Pushing Trends Into Art
One of our goals at Branch and Bloom is to keep evolving trends so they feel unique, elegant, and personal to you.
We never want our work to feel mass-produced or timestamped. Instead, we explore how to push each idea further:
Creating fruit waterfalls off bars and dessert tables
Using bold colour blocking for high-impact editorial looks
Designing organic, scattered tablescapes that feel like a painter’s palette
Even bridal bouquets with fruit might see a return—not in the kitschy way of the 1980s, but reinvented as vibrant, modern and sculptural pieces.
Our Recent Work: Real Weddings, Real Impact
This past year, we had the joy of incorporating these textural elements into several events. From garlands interwoven with grapes, to oranges dangling from ceiling installations, to bold melons paired with garden roses in custom installations.
Each event gives us a chance to adapt the trend to your aesthetic—and to make it feel like a natural extension of your story.
Let’s Get Fruity
If you’re planning a wedding, launch, or event and love the idea of adding a fun, fresh, and creative natural element, we’d love to chat.
We can create a subtle nod to the trend or an all-out fruit fantasia. Either way, it will be structurally sound, built to last (for the event), and unforgettable.
Let’s make something beautiful together.
