Daring Colors

Gone are the days of adhering to light pastels and muted shades. Today's brides are opting for bold and interesting pairings of colors in their wedding flowers and floral schemes. Not afraid of mixing purples and oranges, the post-millennium color palette is expanding. Especially hot this year – purple, in vogue in every shade.

More than just Flowers

Mix it up a bit by incorporating produce. One of the hot trends in wedding flowers is arrangements featuring fruits, herbs and even veggies as a playful and fun approach. Their naturally vibrant colors coincide with the daring color trend. Many brides are also turning to the woods for inspiration. Adding green grasses adds dimension and structure and can elicit a warm, summery feeling.

Dynamic Tables

Table arrangements are also becoming more dynamic. Instead of conforming to identical floral arrangements on each table, some brides are using different containers, varying the heights, or grouping an assortment of low centerpieces together.

Keep it Simple Sista!

Classic Elegance. Gone are the days of overpowering floral arrangements adorned with excess greenery. Today's brides opt for a more natural and tailored look to their wedding flowers. One bouquet style rising in popularity is the hand tied bouquet. The fresh bunch of flowers presents the look of simple elegance that brides desire.
