Save the Date Magazine have asked me to do a fortnightly blog for them, looking at floral trends and upcoming wedding styles so I thought I'd share these here with you too!
2013 is definitely going to be an exciting year for floral
trends. I have noticed in my own brides a huge trend towards wanting to
re-create a natural, garden like style with more relaxed and informal
arrangements of mixed blooms with lots of unusual flowers and foliage.
“emphasis will be
placed on using seasonal flowers and foliage to build loose and wild
compositions that evoke the feeling of an overgrown late summer garden”
So many more brides are taking a more eco-friendly approach
to their flowers using more natural, organic textures such as twigs, branches
and mosses, richer seasonal colours and mis-matched wooden, ceramic and
galvanised vintage and rustic containers.
I love this style as it allows blooms to be expressed in
their own natural shape and style.
Country garden roses are perfect in this bouquet as each rose
is so unique in shape and size...
The
vintage theme is still extremely popular but I think we’ll see lots more bolder
floral patterns, layers of lace and deeper, stronger colours like purple,
magenta and burgundy.
In
these arrangements I used gorgeous autumnal hydrangeas, sedum, amaranthus and
astrantia with lovely rambling clematis and fuchsia and mixed foliage...
What
do you think of this growing trend? Go wild or keep it traditional?!
I love your bouquets and styling,and i'm very much hoping that the wild summer garden will be the future look, as i'm going to be growing cut flowers in a Surrey field from next year
