Sweeping trailing bouquets, plenty of foliage and organic and wild are trends you will see this year. Receptions will make use of unusual containers as centrepieces for elevated designs. The desire for the traditional ‘teardrop’ shaped bouquet seems to be wavering, and brides are embracing more of a natural look,with less structure. Brides are also frequently requesting a ‘from the garden’ style, requiring local and seasonal flowers and foliage to create whimsically romantic designs that you can’t help but love.
‘Something old, something borrowed, something blue’ -every item a bride chooses for her wedding has meaning, and often contains sentimental value. We have put together a list of 10 of this year’s predicted wedding flower favourites, so that you can discover their meaning behind their beauty.
