With 2025 weddings on the horizon, we can’t ignore the flower that everyone is buzzing about: Baby’s Breath!
Also known as gyposphilia, Baby’s Breath is traditionally a wedding staple but has been making a big comeback in the last year or so!
Earlier this year, I recorded a tutorial of how I make Baby’s Breath sugar flowers and uploaded it to youtube. As the year has gone on, I’ve gotten more and more views on that video, and on my Pinterest Pins featuring this small but delightful flower. So I figured, time to dedicate a Floral Spotlight blog post to 2025’s featured flower.
In this blog post, I’ll share why I think Baby’s Breath is the perfect choice for your wedding, how it pairs beautifully with other flowers, and introduce you to my unique Baby’s Breath sugar flower that can elevate your wedding cake to new heights, whatever your wedding style may be!
Why Baby’s Breath is a Wedding Favorite
Baby’s Breath has long been a beloved choice for weddings, and for good reason.
It looks romantic and ethereal, and unlike many trendy flowers of years past, it’s comparatively affordable. So you can get an elegant vibe without breaking the bank.
Baby’s Breath symbolizes purity and everlasting love, and what’s a better time to symbolize everlasting love than a wedding?!

Baby’s Breath is also popular because it’s so versatile. You can use it in bouquets, centerpieces, and even in floral crowns and hairpieces! Use it on its own as a “mono-floral” design or to compliment any number of other flowers.
So if your wedding theme is a minimalist vibe or a lush, garden-inspired affair (#myfavorite), these cute lil flowers will do the job!
Fun Fact! 🎉 Baby’s Breath is part of the carnation family! Once I learned that fact, I can’t unsee it! It’s like a Baby’s Breath flower is a teeny tiny itty bitty carnation!
Pairing Baby’s Breath with Other Flowers
While Baby’s Breath is delicate and dainty on its own, it also plays well with other favorite flowers.
The neutral color and delicate, airy effect make Baby’s Breath the perfect companion for a variety of flowers.
For a romantic and timeless look, pair Baby’s Breath with roses or peonies. From Victorian times to today’s vintage-inspired weddings, Baby’s Breath is a perfect companion.
If you’re aiming for a rustic or bohemian theme, you could combine Baby’s Breath with cosmos, daisies or sunflowers.
If you’re going for the Bold Colors trend of 2025, mix Baby’s Breath with vibrant blooms like yellow dahlias or orange ranunculus or magenta roses.
The possibilities are endless, and the result is always breathtakingly beautiful.
