You can have your dream 2026 wedding in Las Vegas. The Wedding Capital of the World delivers rich color palettes, modern textures, personalized elements and memorable guest experiences. With expert planners, stunning venues and convenient all-inclusive packages, your celebration comes together seamlessly. And with the latest trends on the horizon, this destination has everything you need for an intimate gathering, an over-the-top party or anything in between. 

Fresh in Florals: Local, Vibrant & Unexpected Elements 

In 2026, floral-inspired couples are continuing to embrace a refreshing trend: incorporating fruits and vegetables into their floral designs. Add warmth with citrus tones – “Island Citrus” is the bridal color of 2026 – with lemon, guava and papaya.  

If you’d prefer local flavors, glossy pomegranates make a luxurious addition. Paired with native desert plants like the demure sagebrush, which adds texture and fragrance with its silvery leaves, and the purple lupine, with its striking purple spires, you can craft a bouquet that’s both unique and connected to Nevada’s natural beauty. 

Flowers and foliage in a variety of colors are on the rise, from muted colors like buttermilk yellow, apricots and creams to bold statement shades of deep burgundy, chartreuse, canary yellow and cobalt blue. 

If you’re imagining an outdoor celebration that complements these vibrant, nature-driven florals, Lakeside Weddings & Events in Summerlin offers a variety of lakeside, waterfront and garden settings along the shores of Lake Jacqueline. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, the venue’s flexible ceremony-only and full wedding packages make it easy to create a celebration that feels cohesive with your color palette. 

 

A Year for Creative Decor: Playful, Personalized & Rich in Color  

“Classic green” continues its rise, and top picks like burgundy, lavender and buttercream are also in demand in a year where color isn’t tied to a single season. However, spring and summer are bringing in warm, energetic tones, such as vibrant peach, paired with bright oranges and soft pinks, juicy reds, rich fuchsia and raspberry. Fall and winter are ushering in everything from white-on-white and black-and-white to deep jewel tones (think dark violet, emerald and marigold). Gold accents are being swapped for silver. 

Weddings in 2026 feature a playful yet sophisticated design aesthetic, with bows continuing their strong run into 2026 as standout details on everything from linens to candelabras. There’s a gravitation toward custom and handcrafted pieces like sculptures, ceramics and one-of-a-kind table settings that reflect a couple’s own style, making for memorable celebrations that stand out from traditional wedding décor. 

Renowned Events, located in the Arts District, is a blank canvas for your specific vision. The industrial-chic venue offers flexible seating, customizable lighting and a clean, contemporary aesthetic. The Explore Package for micro-weddings includes both ceremony and reception, while larger celebrations can opt for a full reception package complete with dinner, DJ and photography. 

The Modern Bride: Dresses with Dramatic Details 

Bridal trends for 2026 blend timeless romance with modern flair. Expect lace in all forms, from crocheted to delicate and intricately detailed, alongside gowns that shimmer with bejeweled accents, sequins, glitter and rhinestones. Corsets and satin are fashion-forward, but bows continue their rise in popularity, growing bigger, bolder and making a statement, front and center. 

You’ll find every style you could dream of, plus an exceptional, personalized experience, at Couture Bride, located about 20 minutes from the Strip. With a beautifully curated collection of gowns and 18 years of expertise, this boutique has become a trusted destination for Las Vegas brides. 

For your bridal party, consider tonal palettes in butter yellow, cool blues and lilacs, or go for mix-and-match pinks. Make a day of wedding-attire shopping on the Strip at Fashion Show Mall, where you’ll find a wide selection of dresses at department stores like Nordstrom, Macy’s and Neiman Marcus, along with trend-driven options at shops such as Windsor. Afterward, grab a celebratory meal at The Capital Grille or Benihana.  

Looking for fashion-house luxury? Wynn Las Vegas offers not one, not two, but three shopping experiences with its Wynn Plaza Shops, Wynn Esplanade and Encore Esplanade. Balmain, Chanel and Roberto Cavalli are just a few of the fabulous stores to choose from.
