Winter Wedding Flower Trends

Are you planning your winter wedding? Are you wanting to incorporate some of the latest trends into your wedding to make it pop? One way to incorporate trends into your wedding is with your flowers. How brides are wanting their flowers in their wedding is constantly changing, especially with the seasons. So, Wedding and Party Network has the latest trends in winter wedding flowers that will help make your wedding truly be amazing.

Lush & Organic – Brides are wanting to incorporate more of a natural feel into their wedding. Think tree stumps, birch for table numbers, urns and floral cascading out of tree limbs. Think earth and nature. For your winter wedding, go with lighter colored branches and flowers too for the winter white.

Mix Of Elements –Not everything has to match perfectly. Find elements that you think compliment each other, yet not looking the same. Pick one type of flower that you love and mix and match it with feathers and branches for something unique. Even mix and match the centerpieces at your reception. Instead of having the same ones, add different styles to each table that compliment each other yet are different.

Unique Landscapes –Instead of the same traditional flowers, think outside-the-box. Use different vases in sizes and shapes to create a unique landscape on your tables. Also, take with your florist to see what visions they see for your wedding. They keep up-to-date on all the latest trends and are the perfect people to ask when searching for unique reception flower ideas.

Simple & Fresh –Of course, your wedding flowers don't have to be extravagant. First off, where are you having your wedding? Of course, we're talking about geographically speaking. If you have a certain kind of flower that grows in your area, have you thought about showcasing it in your wedding? Keep it simple, fresh and local.

Personality – Let your blooms shine through with personality. If you take a look at flowers, you notice that each one shines through with a personality of it's own. Red roses bring across a sense of sophistication while peonies are a timeless classic. Pick flowers that are suited more towards your personality and let that shine through your wedding flowers.

Personable –Another way to make your wedding flowers stand out is adding a personal touch to them. For example, include your grandmother's brooch or a small picture frame in your wedding bouquet adds a great touch. Also, what do both of you enjoy to do? Maybe you both love reading, well why not use books as apart of your centerpieces.

Bridal Bouquet Trends 2010 – Traditional Stand-bys Or Trendsetting

Pheasant Feather Bridal Bouquet

As we head into the height of wedding season, new wedding bouquet trends are gathering momentum. Traditional bouquets will always be in style, but trendsetting flowers are taking center stage.

Joanne at Petal Pushers Florist (in Burnaby BC) was one of the first to see momentum building in trendsetting bridal bouquets.

Back in February Joanne wrote an editorial discussing the trend towards a more trendy and adventurous bridal bouquet. Here is what Joanne had to say:

As we go into 2010, we find the most popular bouquet is still the hand tied. Flowers loosely gathered and wrapped with ribbon instead of the traditional bouquet holder.

Flower choices go in cycles. Roses are definitely still the front runner, while hydrangea, peonies, orchids and tulips remain a trendy choice. But interesting enough, brides are becoming more adventurous and open to incorporating different types of varieties such as; leucadendron, berzelia, berries, interesting twigs and greeneries. With these interesting types of products and combination, it definitely sets the trend for a much more rustic and westcoast style bouquet.

But don't forget about all the really cool floral accessories we have available. From rhinestones, sparking gems, jeweled piks, feathers and glitter. The choices are endless…How creative are you? Inspired by trends, or the Trendsetter!

Orchid Wedding Bouquet With Silver Wire

After speaking with several wedding florists, they too are seeing the same trends.

Their brides are asking for bridal bouquets with rhinestones, sparkling gems and other floral accessories. Adventurous styles are becoming a norm rather than an exception. So, thinking outside-of-the-box is a hot topic during wedding flower consultations sessions throughout North America.

As brides want more personalization in their wedding flowers, florist are creating uniquely beautiful wedding flowers. Guests this wedding season are sure to be dazzled with a variety of wedding bouquet styles from traditional to adventurous bouquets. This wedding season should be one of the most interesting in decades.
