Nearly a year after Travis Kelce proposed to Taylor Swift in a garden filled with thousands of blooms, wedding speculation is heating up. With reports suggesting the ceremony could happen before autumn, one question keeps coming up: what will the aesthetic actually look like? Event designer and floral expert Larry Walshe, who has spent over a decade working with high-profile clients across studios in France, Italy, England, and the US, shared his predictions with PEOPLE, drawing on the couple's proposal style, personal aesthetics, and current trends among A-list weddings.
What theme could Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce choose for their wedding?
Walshe's vision leans heavily into the natural and understated. He describes the likely aesthetic as "effortlessly romantic," with textures drawn from nature rather than the structured grandeur you might expect from a celebrity wedding of this scale. "My gut says that it will be very beautifully elegant but understated, relaxed. I think it will feel very garden-inspired, very textural, very much like you've pulled Mother Nature and just given her a helping hand," he says.
Swift's bohemian streak, Walshe notes, points toward something wilder and more organic. Rather than roses and orchids, he pictures "meadow flowers, beautiful things that grow wild" with grasses woven through larger florals. Think rolling countryside more than ballroom luxury. It is a bolder choice, and arguably a more personal one.
Whether the ceremony is indoors or out remains anyone's guess, but Walshe's instinct is that it will be open air. Given the scale of a wedding like this, he also points out that "hundreds of thousands of flowers" would be needed, with costs on large-scale events of this kind sometimes running into the millions.
Will the wedding decor mirror Travis Kelce's proposal aesthetic?
Probably not entirely, according to Walshe. He does not "necessarily" see the couple replicating the enchanted garden look from the proposal, and his reasoning makes sense. "When you think about engagements, that's been planned and organized by one person. The wedding is usually the culmination of the two of you and hopefully your shared values as a couple," he explains.
His prediction is something celebratory but considered, where guests actually feel comfortable rather than dazzled. He specifically mentions low table florals as an example, the kind that allow people to have real conversations rather than crane around centrepieces. "Something that allows conversation, that allows people to be able to actually enjoy themselves and be present," he says.
Swift and Kelce have not addressed the wedding rumours directly. Between her surprise performance at the Toy Story 5 premiere, a night cheering on the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on 10 June in a "Stevie Knicks" shirt, and a Broadway date at the Lyceum Theatre on 13 June to watch Oh, Mary!, Swift has kept busy. The couple first went public in 2023 and announced their engagement on 26 August in a joint Instagram post from a floral garden setting. "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married," Swift wrote in the caption.
