Wedding Flower Trends: What Should You Consider While Choosing Flower Arrangements

Whether designing a floral arrangement for huge event or small causal meet-up, the current trend is toward a more natural and wild look. This includes branches, fruits, blooms and foraged materials such as jasmine and rosemary. And, the best location to start is your nearest local flower market.

You can also check out the online stores which offer flowers delivered same day at prices just as similar to the farmer’s market. It’s essential to consider the setting before you decide your floral arrangement. Another important aspect that you must consider in selecting flowers is which color will suit the bride.

Over 90% of blonde brides seem to choose pastels, where 90% of the brunettes go with jewel ones as the people tend to be drawn to the colors in which they look the best.

But, the most crucial aspect is to find what flowers are in current season and who is a great flower grower. Around 80% of the flowers in the UK come from abroad, and there’s a real benefit in buying locally grown flowers. Just like slow food movement, there is slow flower movement too. And, foraged and local varieties look very much same anywhere you go.

Farmers have knowledge about what’s in season, and having a story of flowers in your wedding adds sort of provenance to the event. It’s a cultural focal point towards the local sourcing for all things because most people have a mindset of looking for things which is natural and seasonal. And, this look can be obtained through the use of foliage, vines and branches oppose to stuffing the flowers tightly together. People usually don’t think about the foliage, but it’s what highlights the flowers and makes them more natural-looking.

Containers are important too! The actual idea here is to let things extend beyond the edge of vase to give a sense of direction as well as movement. Cylindrical vases are least suggested as they are too vertical. Bowls or urns or anything that allows flowers to extend outwards will be much more wonderful choice to work with.

Besides farmers market and local flower growers, another great resource could be nursery. If you don’t wish to deal with cut flowers, you can have plenty of pansies in a pot. Good containers upgrade humble plants to something more elegant, a plant is always cheaper than the cut flowers. Additionally, it lasts longer. However, those who are trying to create their own centerpieces of wedding should think carefully before deciding to go.

No one realizes how much work you’re required to do on your own flowers. So, don’t think that you can easily do it the last week. You’ll need to plan way ahead, do some research to get a sense of what will be available when you need it. Put together the list of varieties and colors, and practice ahead of the event itself.

For those people who go for creative homemade floral arrangements, there are unlimited options! I’ve found grapevines contorted in shapes which I could never produce, spiky chestnuts still green on the tree and fiddlehead ferns unfurling with the day.

Conclusion: Take advantage of generous options like these, they are not the ones you can not plan, but they can make large difference between one that turns the heads and an ordinary floral arrangement. Also, try using digital retailers without traditional storefront. They are more likely to charge less of mark up and make your arrangement as per your order instead of giving pre-prepared pieces.
