If you're anticipating walking down the aisle at some point during 2020, you've probably got at least a partial idea of the kind of ambiance you want your wedding ceremony to have. For instance, if you're planning a June wedding on or around the summer solstice, your fantasy wedding might have a Midsummer Night's Dream theme complete with fairy lights and wildflowers. Or perhaps your heart's desire is a stately late spring ceremony complete with long-stemmed red roses or something in the autumn with vibrant red, golds, and orange flowers. It's also entirely possible that you haven't given your wedding flowers much thought yet. After all, the early stages of planning a wedding don't leave a lot of room for considering every single detail. Still, it's not too early to begin giving some thought to what kind of floral arrangements you want at your wedding. The following are just five of this year's wedding flower trends to jump start your inspiration.
Silver Greenery
Silver greenery is this year's big thing in bridal bouquets and altar arrangements. It provides a subtler note than the bright green filler usually used in bouquets. Popular plants with silvery foliage include Dusty Miller, Eucalyptus, Japanese Painted Fern, and Artemisia. The silvery foliage accents make bouquets and arrangements look ethereal and airy.
Floral Jewelry
Headpieces with flowers intertwined on them have been worn by brides for a long time, but this year, you'll see an expansion of that trend to include floral necklaces, bracelets, and even earrings. You'll see bridesmaids and maids of honor wearing these as well this year.
Dried Bridal Bouquets and Floral Arrangements
The obvious benefit of having dried bridal bouquets and floral altar and table arrangements is that you can keep them indefinitely as keepsakes of your wedding. They also provide a different aesthetic than their fresh counterparts that makes them good choices for minimalist and Bohemian ceremonies. Good dried flower choices include Baby's Breath, Shasta Daisies, and Pearly Everlasting.
Monochromatic Arrangements
Bouquets and floral arrangements all in one color are another of this year's popular options. However, it's important to use differing shades of the same color when going this route because having everything in the exact same shade will be visually overwhelming.
Locally Sources Arrangements
Floral arrangements and bridal bouquets have traditionally been sourced from commercial greenhouses with the capability to provide virtually any type of cut flower, but this year's brides are turning to local gardens and meadows, and their local florist for inspiration and choosing flowers that have personal meaning. Examples include bouquets of local wildflowers or garden flowers that are particularly associated with your community. Talk to a florist near you about your weeding options today!
