The Long and Short of Wedding Flowers

When it comes to wedding flowers and bouquets, there are a number of variables that can affect, obviously, the look of your wedding and cost too. For the look of your wedding, obviously the types and colors of the flowers are key. With cost, the best solution is to pick flowers that are in-season during your wedding. Check out our article on that very topic to choose the right flowers for your wedding!
So we’ve got the cost down. Next is the look and color of your flowers. Choose, of course, a complimentary color, which is relatively easy these days since many florists and floral vendors can use dye to customize your bouquets and arrangements for you. This may raise the price a bit so you may want to opt for a complimentary color in a slightly different shade, which can easily blend well.
Now, for style! The trend these days is towards simple sophistication, such as the bouquet above that would match the now-in-style simple wedding dresses. It’s a very earthy, organic wedding bouquet focused on the simplicity of just bunching the tulips and wrapping fabric around it. How much more simple can it get? Of course, this type of wedding bouquet can match a more formal, classic wedding dress too. The classic wedding dress is usually paired with the classic all-white cascade wedding bouquet, which can be found in our article on classic royalty weddings and is pictured below.

Other trends in wedding flowers? Instead of corsages, mothers of the bride and groom are now carrying colorful and fragrant nosegays, cute! Also, boutonnieres are becoming more customized and personal for the groom and his men. Perfect way to carry your wedding flowers throughout the wedding theme!
