Key Wedding Flower Trends 2013
What is in
Cascades promise to make a big comeback during the year. So be prepared to see the cascades decorating the aisles and guest tables. Cascades are elongated and slim and usually include the opulent types of blooms like tea roses and peonies.
What is out
Bouquets and arrangements with the dominating green color are a big taboo in this year’s wedding flower trends.
What is in
The English Garden theme is still a trend in bridal floristics, however, it went through slight change. Nowadays in vogue are the flowers that look opulent, but are still natural. They should look like the blooms have just been picked from the garden beds. Consider using flowers like hydrangea, ranunculus and garden roses that look fresh and opulent.
What is out
Avoid placing little bud vases in the row on the guest tables.
What is in
Seems like in 2013 brides got crazy about flower garlands in different variations starting from garlands with ribbons to the garlands hanging from chandeliers.
What is out
Orchid is not favored by the contemporary couples anymore since it cannot boast that look of a just picked flower.
What is in
Peonies are the key flowers of this year. According to the leading wedding florists, they are the most called-for flowers now. Delicate, rich and utterly soft, peonies are the great flowers to use both in your bridal bouquet and in the wedding table arrangements. However peonies are available only for 2 months, so you can replace them with the garden roses, which look similar to peonies, but are easier to find in seasons other than summer.
What is out
Leave the tall centerpieces we used to see in the middle of the guest tables in the past.
I just love the idea with cascading flowers, thank you!
