Ones that have truly blossomed…<br />
A few simple stems.<br />
It’s about quality not quantity.<br />
Many wedding bouquets have slimmed down significantly, and<br />
now simply consist of a small number of long stems. <strong>This</strong> trend<br />
is easy to carry and even easier on the eye. Extra time and love<br />
must be put into picking just the right flowers to pull off this<br />
look but we definitely think it’s worth it. Not to mention, there<br />
are huge savings to be made when it comes to the cost of your<br />
wedding flowers when you choose to flaunt just a few flowers<br />
over dozens upon dozens.<br />
Wreaths and hoops.<br />
<strong>This</strong> trend won’t have you going round in circles.<br />
From large wreaths displayed at your ceremony, to floral hoops<br />
held lovingly by your bridesmaids and small wreath-shaped<br />
buttonholes sported by groomsmen, round flower displays<br />
are rolling in to all aspects of the floral arrangements. It’s key<br />
to make sure the flowers are properly attached to the circular<br />
frames, so chat with your florist about how to ensure your<br />
blooms will stay perfectly in place. <strong>This</strong> trend definitely has us<br />
wondering what shape will be next.<br />

Deep, dark tones.<br />
Your bouquet should be the only thing that’s moody.<br />
Flowers are so often synonymous with light pinks<br />
and ivories, but much darker shades are having their<br />
time in the spotlight, and they’re hugely deserving<br />
of it. These darker hues are obviously a great choice<br />
for autumn and winter weddings, but the contrast<br />
they create against spring and summer weddings<br />
is beautifully dramatic, so we certainly recommend<br />
weaving them into your warm-weather bouquets. If<br />
you’re on the fence about using these darker flowers,<br />
try integrating just a few into your arrangements to<br />
add a bit of depth.<br />
