Flowers are big on your list for bringing together your wedding day
vision. But it can be hard to find exactly what you want and what will
pair perfectly with your overall wedding theme. If going the trendy
route is a priority, check out these tips from industry experts.
GREENERY GALORE
As Pantone’s color of the year, Greenery is more popular than in years
past. There have always been clients who have looked at greenery
as a cheaper alternative to florals, but now we’re seeing couples
who are spending the money for more lavish and hearty greenery
arrangements.
Think eucalyptus, ferns, tropical leaves and bright green pods, berries
and moss as décor with a spattering of brightly colored flowers.
Greenery garlands can make a dramatic focal point just about
anywhere, including on tables, chair backs, arches and trees.
Centerpieces are incorporating lanterns filled with flowers and fairy
lights, elevated compote glass vases with large, unstructured greenery
focused designs or streamlined modern, simpler designs in popular
brass terrariums with succulents, flowers and sand.
GUSHING GOLD
Gold has a place too. There will always be a place for the classics like
white and blush, but there’s definitely a rise in couples who are opting
for bright, bold colors and unique blooms.
