Have you been to weddings over the years and seen big changes as to how trends are evolving? Wedding flower trends have changed and blossomed over the time too. They have bloomed and become less traditional and less formal. The wedding dresses, reception halls and fashion sense are ever changing with our new and modern up-to-date world. Wedding flower trends are no different either and are catching up with the times. What flowers do you want at your wedding?

Two types of flower colours have been emerging over the past year. The first set of colours emerging have a bright feel and feel good hues, such as white and blue. People want their weddings to be more fun. Their flowers depict the colours of the Caribbean flag. The next trend of flowers refers to softer colours and darker hues.

It is of most importance that the flowers match the style of wedding. You need to consider the factors besides what’s trendy. Consider the location you are using for your wedding. What type of venue will you be using? Where will the wedding take place? Will you have it in a mountain lodge when wildflowers are in bloom? It will add a rustic flavour to the overall theme. Will you have it in a large plantation home in Georgia in summer? It will add a warm golden flavour to the theme. It is hard to compare a more modern wedding with people in their 20’s to a very traditional wedding with most of the guests born before 1950. The two styles would be very different.

All of these factors need to be taken into consideration for the kind of flowers you want. Take into account the time of year you are having your wedding. A New Jersey wedding in October will be very different from a Mountain lodge in December. The flowers used for the one in October would be more traditional with darker solid hues, such as deep red, maroon and magenta and Halloween orange. They will be very rich and deep in colour. This wedding has the changing autumn leaves from the trees hit their peak and perfect background for these colours. The wedding flowers received many compliments.

Choose the colours of the flowers that will match your outfits. Would you really like to be seen walking down the aisle with hues that clash? Certain hues do not go together, such as red flowers with a dark dress or a light coloured necklace.

Lastly, do you what you feel is best for you. It’s your special day. You are the center of attention. Do what is best for you and your groom. You only get one chance. Everyone has gathered to share in this new journey down the road of your life. Decorate your wedding with your own style. There is no wrong way to do it. Have a blast and enjoy the process. You don’t have to base everything on what is trendy and popular. Dare to be different. Study the locations and places for your reception carefully to choose the right one for you. Pick your flowers according to that.
