Big Soft Blooms: This year, many brides are going with big, soft blooms, gentle earthy textures and gentle pinks paired with warm ivory.

Sunwashed Colors: Modern brides are opting for earthy shades and blush hues in their wedding flowers and color schemes. Don’t be afraid to mix taupe and oyster gray with a bold, contrasting color or you can pair multiple shades of a blush pink with beige and ivory. Using a single color in multiple shades and textures can create a truly unique look. Bottom line: The modern palette has been simplified.

Flowers with Personality: Every flower has a certain personality. From sophisticated red roses to playful daisies your blooms speak to the identity of your event. Soft and gentle blooms like peonies, lisianthus, and rununculus are a totally timeless and classic choice, while fun, tighter textured blooms like billy balls, button mums, and dahlias can be whimsical and a little bit mischievous at the same time.

Choose Eye-Catching Colors: If sweet and subtle isn’t your thing, go for a head-turning arrangement with bold colors. Bring in color swatches, invites and other inspirational details to help your florist create arrangements that coordinate with the look and feel of your wedding day.

Orchids: Orchids are a flower of movement, especially since this particular flower comes in just about any color and size! Use an all-orchid arrangement to make a lush, architectural statement on your tables, or select a single orchid blossom in your wedding color for modern boutonnieres. Wrap the stem in black ribbon so that the blossom pops against the lapel.

For Fall Weddings Think Texture: The hottest trend in fall wedding flowers is lush, richly hued arrangements with lots of interesting texture. Instead of using just two or three types of blooms in your centerpieces, try a wide mix of flowers coordinated with your color scheme. For example, you could start with a base of classic flowers and mix in feathery crocosmia and velvety coxcomb.

Classic Wedding Flowers in Rich Hues: Tailor your wedding flowers to the time of year by choosing more deep dramatic shades for the fall than you would for the spring and summer.

“Going Green”: Through contrasting and complementary foliages and branching, this wedding flower trend emanates a sense of elegant simplicity. Mixing unique textures and colors of naturally-occurring flower colors, such as white and light green, creates a soothing, tranquil expression for bouquets, centerpieces, and boutonnieres.

Wedding Bouquet Trends

After choosing a wedding dress, the bride typically turns her attention to her wedding bouquet! As every professional florist knows, the bridal bouquet is typically seen as the focal point of all the wedding flowers, and today’s brides are taking advantage of that as they plan their weddings. Check out our list of today’s wedding bouquet trends to help you come up with your own bridal bouquet! For all other pre-wedding needs check out Bridal Party Tees! You can customize anything from bridal and bachelorette party tee shirts, to honeymoon designs, to gifts and accessories and more!

Traditional White: Mini white calla lilies paired with delicate sweet peas to create a unique take on the traditional white bouquet. The clustered calla lilies sit in the center, surrounded by a cloud of fragrant, white sweet peas and tied with a simple white satin ribbon.

Vintage: Rose-centered bouquets take a vintage turn with amnesia roses and silver hued dusty miller. An alternative to all-white roses, these amnesia roses have a silvery lavender hue which compliments many different colors. The dusty miller surrounding the roses completes the classic look and feel of a long-forgotten era.

Mix It Up: Wedding bouquets these days don’t just contain flowers. Your party decorator or florist may suggest other non-floral elements such as Swarovski crystals, berries, feathers, stems and other decorative wood pieces. A popular choice is echeveria, which can be shaped like a flower and can come in different colors such as green, aubergine and gray.

Cascade Bouquets: This bouquet style features flowers that descend below the main portion of the bouquet design. The voluptuousness of the bouquet is often the main feature of the wedding costume. Cascade bouquets are most often used in formal and traditional weddings.

Hot Hues: Brides craving color are opting to use many shades of a single hue, such as mixing pale pink peonies and hot pink ranunculuses with other flowers that reflect the pinks for a richer look. For those who like this look but want something more striking than white, today’s stylish all-red bouquets mix shades of burgundy and near-black with slightly brighter crimson blooms.

All Tied Up: Although the most brides (and, in particular, those seeking a single-flower style) likely prefer the look of exposed stems, the majority of today’s bouquets come elegantly wrapped. To help modernize the look of classic ribbon-wrapped stems, florists layer ribbons in different colors or textures. Another popular approach is to personalize the bouquet. Wrap the stems with an heirloom handkerchief (perhaps one the bride’s grandmother carried on her wedding day), adorn the bouquet with a locket bearing a photo of a deceased relative, or wrap the stems in a ribbon embroidered with your monogram or signature motif.
