This has been another worrisome year for floral design. Due to the events surrounding us, the number of weddings with crowded venues has gone down, and the demand for floral arrangements has decreased with it.
For this reason, long-term planning has become an ace for a wedding ceremony: couples need to get in touch with florists beforehand and study possibilities before the final decision.
Otherwise, they won’t find the ideal arrangements available, in the right amounts and volume. And, yet, they will probably face difficulties committing to their budgets.
Even though it’s not the easiest moment, it doesn’t mean the floral design has become a low priority aspect of a wedding: we just have to make slight adjustments to keep our big day event as brilliant and charming as ever.
In this article, you will find trending floral arrangements and amazing florists that are standing out on the web to inspire you – or even, who knows, form strong and fertile partnerships for the near future.
Floral Design: Trending Floral Arrangements
Ever wonder what’s making grooms’ and brides’ eyes shine brightly this year?
Shiny Nature Tons
Even though earthy tones are neutral and pleasant for most people – and then an entirely safe choice – this year, couples are calling for more lively experiences.
We’ve spent too long at home and had few opportunities to be in direct contact with nature. We’ve also lived a life focused on technologies, even in daily work.
The truth is: if we’re going out to celebrate, better change perspectives, right? That’s why nature’s vivacity has gained even more charm, at least for the next two years.
Explore shades of purple and pink; try red tones as well; use three colors in arrangements and panels, with white setting a base for the other two, connecting them.
If you prefer cold tons, let the water green lead the way.
Organic Arrangements
“Plants don’t bloom and grow uniformly or symmetrically; the world isn’t perfect, and we, people, aren’t either.”
This transparent and naturalist perspective is getting the attention and more exposition in design concepts lately.
That’s why we’ve increasingly seen couples, and even celebrities, use organic arrangements in their approach – to bring more naturality and transparency to their events.
If that kind of philosophy pleases you, it’s time to leave what’s posed behind with the artificial perfection aside. Let your spontaneous side emerge with the most natural floral centrepieces, and provide naturality in your event.
Larger-Than-Life Sets
Yet, there are so many reasons to celebrate vividly that we cannot count lush and extravagancy out of trends.
If you feel that you have a lot inside there, and your big day is the time to let it go, opt for using large and colourful arrangements in your event.
Ceremony Arches look great with large arrangements, and the more exotic, the better. You will have the most energetic and memorable photos to show off later.
Astonishing Aisles and Entrances
It works even better if the bride is not perfectly aware of what to expect!
Going through a real unexplored oasis before going down the aisle will bring eternal memories and help the bride feel how special they are and how amazing that moment is for their life stories.
A sea of candles, bows with organic arrangements, and so on! Let the entrance seem like a fantasy gate from a fairy tale!
Amazing Florists To Follow
Floral designers have been taking over the couples’ social feeds lately, and some artists drag attention to their names and profiles.
Most of the florists we’ll mention here work in Europe, but we are not restricting the suggestions only to our neighbours. After all, the main objective here is to provide you with sources to gather information and inspiration for when you’ll be planning your event, no matter where you are.
