This year, it’s all about pastels and trust us, they’re not just for spring anymore. From planning a soft, sophisticated wedding soirée to hosting a whimsical summer celebration in the backyard, these gentle hues are delivering sophisticated energy. From mellow butter yellows and coastal seaside blues to the classic ballerina pink we’ll never quit, pastels are feeling fresh, luxe, and just the right amount of unexpected. WKF Weddings in St. Louis, Missouri is here to break down the must-have tones and the flowers that wear them flawlessly.
Butter Yellow
Butter yellow is the soft sunshine we all need this season: cozy, comforting, and quietly stunning. It’s giving slow mornings in the sunshine, lemon bars from your favorite bakery, and that fuzzy feeling of a warm cardigan on your shoulders. Basically, it’s peak romantic nostalgia on a porch swing. From styling a full-on pastel moment to just popping in some golden hour glow, blooms like daffodils, ranunculus, tulips, and stock are showing off in this hue. Sweet, serene, and effortlessly chic, butter yellow is officially your new floral BFF.
Matcha Green
Matcha green is having its moment and its comeback all at once. That gentle pastel green feels like a deep breath and a nature walk rolled into one, making it perfect for modern floral design. Think fresh eucalyptus, whimsical ferns, lush hydrangea, and pale green orchids complemented by creamy ivory roses. It’s romantic but relaxed, a soft take that whispers instead of shouts. Basically, it’s giving quiet luxury but for flowers, and we are so here for it.
Lovely Lavender
Lavender is the calm in the chaos, and its serene vibe is exactly what makes it a standout in floral design. Sure, classic lavender stems are sweet in small arrangements, but if you’re looking to make a statement, opt for larger blooms like lavender-hued football mums, spider mums, and roses. Accent with pom-daisies, alstroemeria, and carnations for a layered look that feels both luxe and laid-back. It’s a color that brings the romance and elegance to your floral lineup.
Seaside Blue
Seaside Blue is calling, and if you’re dreaming of an event that feels like a coastal escape, don’t sleep on this serene, ocean-inspired hue. Blue hydrangeas are the star of the show, bringing pure Nantucket charm and windswept romance. Want to build on this vibe? Mix in delphinium for height, thistle for that edgy texture, and dusty miller to soften the whole look like a misty sea breeze. It’s classic meets dreamy, and the perfect palette for your beachy I do.
Ballet Pink
Last but never least: the graceful, goes-with-everything goddess, ballet pink. This hue is the definition of romantic, and she blends beautifully with creamy whites, soft peaches, and every shade of neutral. If you’re building a bloom lineup, don’t skip ranunculus, garden roses, peonies, spray roses, or those whimsical snapdragons and Gerbera daisies. It’s giving delicate elegance with a side of dreamy beauty. Whether your vibe is classic, cottagecore, or something in between, ballet pink is always a good idea.
These popular pastels prove you don’t need bold colors to make a big impression. With their calm, cool elegance, they’re perfect for everything from whimsical garden weddings to modern-chic soirées. Let WKF Weddings help you create a custom blend of blooms that feels intentional, personal, and effortlessly beautiful.
