NEW TRENDS FOR BRIDAL BUNCHES
Your choice of wedding flowers speaks volumes about your personality. Outgoing or conservative, bold or quiet, the blooms say it all. These days, many modern couples are exploring fresh and creative themes for their wedding flowers which reveal their individuality.
Here’s a sample of some of the exciting fresh trends in wedding flowers that have been spied at stylish nuptials recently.
Colourful flowers are all the rage. Many brides are saying their vows surrounded by the vivid oranges and reds of gerbera daisies as the traditional neutrals make way for brights and bolds. Brides who aren’t afraid of demonstrating their own colourful personalities are happy to push the envelope with bright colour combinations of red and yellow, lime green and bright pink, lime green and yellow and pink and yellow.
Arrangements comprising one type of flower (monobotanic) or one colour (monochromatic) can also look fabulous. A fun and inspired combination for a hot summer wedding is lime green teamed with bright pink (roses and green chrysanthemums). For a winter wedding that’s hot – trendy brides have been choosing bright reds instead of chocolate and earthy colours, with some going for blues and purples to give their nuptials a lift.
And the word from a professional wedding florist in Perth, Airport Florist, there are new and interesting shapes and designs emerging in wedding flower arrangements. Of course, the traditional choice of cascading green ivy teamed up with creamy roses will never lose its popularity, but many brides of today are pushing the envelope with bold and edgy designs, architectural shapes and asymmetrical arrangements. There’s also a trend towards very loose, informal and unstructured arrangements.
Containers are another talking point. Glass bowls are being moved aside as edgier designs come to the fore, such as silver goblets, gilded or rusted urns, mosaic vases, conical and rectangular vases, specimen jars etc. Professional wedding florists are also using rows of identical containers to create striking symmetry, often featuring only a single perfect bloom in each. Placing vases of various heights and sizes can also add interest. Just a quick note of caution….not to let the arrangements impede conversation. However gorgeous, if they are too big or too high, guests won’t be able to navigate around them and they’ll end up being an unfavourable talking point which is NOT the intention!
Accessorising and lighting the flower arrangements is also becoming increasingly popular. Candles are being used creatively to add romance and mood to the occasion. Floating candles in special vases look spectacular, as do hanging candles from centerpieces made from branches or spiky plants. For a sophisticated look, branches can be sprayed with silver or gold. Small votives can be also wired into arrangements to create a magical atmosphere. Another emerging trend is the use of pillar candles of varying heights, clustered together and surrounded by specimen flowers to create a sparkling centrepiece. Other ideas for accessories include ‘bling’ (faux gems, crystals and beads), lace, ribbon, mirrors, feathers, berries, butterflies and even fruit and vegetables.
With all the different varieties, shapes, colours and sizes of wedding flowers on offer, brides are showing off their personalities to the world. As the Perth florist says, variety is the spice of life – and there’s a wonderful variety of wedding flowers that are also clearly livening up the nuptials!
