New Bridal Trends

What new trends are "in" this season?  Brides are all raving about the hot new floral ideas to make their wedding absolutely breathtaking, as I'm sure you are doing the same! Listed below are five of the hottest trends that are "must do's" for your wedding: 


1. Beautiful Blossoms
    There are two types of bouquets trending this year: the "monofloral" design and the "romantic" design.  The Knot tells us that "Monofloral bouquets coordinate quite well with contemporary or architectural gowns, so they’re often composed of sleek, structured flowers like mini calla lilies or cattleya orchids." The so called "romantic" bouquets, which feature an assortment of blossoming flowers, are growing increasingly popular, however, with modern brides.  

                                     

2. Ribbons and Wraps
     Elegantly wrapped bouquets are now the modern style among many brides.  Layered ribbon and textures add a modernized look to a traditional style; also, lockets and memorable "keep-sakes" embellish the bouquet with meaningful and sentimental value. Wraps vary from classy elegance to traditional southern beauty, but always accent the bouquet with creativity.





3. Hot Hues
     The traditional white bouquet is still popular among modern brides, but the new style is incorporating contrasting shades and creative greenery to create a textured look.  While white is certainly the classic choice for bridal bouquets, "hot hues" are on the rise.  The colorful bouquets stand out rather than wash out against a bride's wedding dress, and opening the door to colorful bouquets creates endless possibilities for uniqueness and beauty. 


 

4. Modern Cascade 
    Cascading bouquets are known to be very traditional, but that traditional style has begun to trend once more in modern weddings. Round bouquets continue to maintain focus on the bride's dress while keeping a clean shape, which is ideal for modern brides! But many brides are now using bouquets which drape slightly like an "upside-down tear drop" which creates movement and drama.


 

5. Unique Touch
    Modern bouquets often contain much more than just classics flowers and blooms.  Berries, greenery, twigs, and even feathers now embellish a bride's bouquet and truly add a unique touch. Also, brides are now carrying broach bouquets for a vintage look along with several other cutting-edge, creative bouquets. Adding a unique touch to your bouquet is essential to making your wedding memorable.
