Flowers symbolize beauty and the most vibrant display of happiness and joy. With styles to best express your individual taste, let wedding flowers assist you in creating the perfect look for the special day.

Bright Colors

Bold and bright colors are back with a bang, so make the most of this opportunity to create a style statement. Pink, red, green and blue continue to reign, however  royal purple and deep lilac tones have also made their presence felt. If you want to focus on one particular color,  try designing flower arrangements in one dramatic hue vary the type and texture of the flowers.

Bring in the Bling

If you think jewelry is just for you to wear, take a look at these lovely flowers. Everything from brooches to pearls are being used to make beautiful bouquets and they make a fabulous keepsake gifts for bridesmaids to use all the year round. For the bridal bouquet, it’s also a clever way incorporate a “something borrowed” family heirloom like grandma’s antique hatpin. 

Wraps

You can focus on your vases, in addition to your blooms, by wrapping them in creative ways. Cover a rustic arrangement in tree bark, a winter arrangement in plush velvet ribbon, or a modern arrangement in metallic gold, silver, and jewel-toned wires. Bouquets stems are also gaining popularity, cloaked in clean-lined, lithe banana leaves or in wraps ornamented with glass beads. 

Move with the trend

Tight and  perfect flower arrangements are out of fashion, and large three-dimensional displays are in. Going by the trend movement and asymmetry in bouquets and centerpieces have become extremely important. Flowers should  be lifelike not stuffed into a ball. The best blossoms for this. Varieties with long, flexible stems and a natural drape like vines, tulips and sweet peas.
Orchids are the flower of the moment, especially since this versatile, elegant bloom comes in virtually all colors and sizes. You can use many orchids to create an arrangement which makes a lush, architectural statement on your table, or select a single orchid blossom according to your wedding theme color  for modern boutonnières. Wrap the stem in black ribbon so that the blossom pops against the label.
Boutonnières are no longer an afterthought. These days grooms don’t want to miss the opportunity to make a statement with greenery, whether it’s with big lush blooms, an arrangement of small delicate ones, or a sampling of interestingly shaped herbs.
