Wedding Flower Trends

Moving away from the rustic chic and vintage styling, flower trends for 2018 are very sophisticated with a rich colour palette and plenty of fun contrasts. For brides, there is nothing quite like clutching a bouquet filled with fresh, fragrant flowers grown with love and harvested by hand by a local farmer or designer with whom they have a personal connection.

FLOWERS

-Old-fashioned flowers:

Common zinnias, carnations or mums for wedding flowers have been cultivated with uncommon forms and colours and are turning heads.

-Dahlias:

-Ribbons and finishing touches:

Brides are looking for ways to make their bouquet more meaningful or stand out in a special way; by requesting unique elements such as antique lace, a charm or cameo of a loved one, vintage handkerchiefs, …

-Stylish floral wearables:

Delicate floral hair accessories have virtually replaced the big, bold floral crowns from years past. We will see more half halos, pretty floral hair “combs” and simple springs of foliage woven artfully into hairstyles this year.

-Sweet cake flowers: Oversized wedding cakes are not on trend anymore; sweets tables and a rustic feel cake allowed more opportunities to creatively incorporate flowers into cake designs and table décor.
