1. The Victorian Vintage Theme!
This theme is super elegant with a timeless romance feel to it. When attending such a wedding, one can expect to see pearls, lace, and feathers with blushes, mint greens, lavenders, purples, and reds for hues. You will see antique furniture for the reception and perhaps you shall sip tea from teacups and be served a gourmet meal on fine china. Parasols are a fun accent for this wedding! For flowers you can expect soft, romantic looks with Peonies, garden roses, Ivy, babysbreath, and Dusty Miller. You may see lace detailing on the handle of the bouquet or pearl loops. Brooches are also a nice Victorian touch. Cascades are breathtaking for this style. The whole look is enchanting!
2. Country/Rustic/ShabbyChic Theme
This theme is all about celebrating family and having a good time! This style tends to be a bit more laid-back, with a homey feel, but also carries it's own elegance and charm. When attending a Rustic/country wedding, you may see hay bales, mason jars, shabby-chic aged wood, burlap, grapevine wreaths, buttons, lace, and wood bark elements. Fun fact: The mason jar is one of the most popular elements for this style of wedding. They can be hung on poles going down the aisle or decorated with burlap, glitter and lace and used as centerpieces. Many of these weddings occur outdoors, and even some on family farms! That can make the day more personal and special. For flowers, you can often see sunflowers, daisies, garden roses or Peonies, babysbreath and autumn tones. The most complimentary floral arrangements will look wilflowery, like they were picked form a garden or just over the hill. These types of bouquets will usually have a wide variety of flowers in them, as opposed to just 1 type of flower. handles of bouquets may be decorated in lace, burlap, or a family heirloom handkerchief. It is all about bringing family elements into it and celebrating family and friends!
3. Natural Style
This wedding is all about getting back to nature! From gorgeous garden bouquets, to luscious leafy greens, this style will take you outdoors! Popular features of this wedding include ferns, willow branches, tree bark, wreaths, blushes, greens, and whites. This is a style that popularized succulents being featured in bouquets because they are a calm green color with distinctive shapes. The best part of this style is that it gives a very soft, calming effect to the entire space.
4. Babysbreath Revamp
Babysbreath will always be a classic, but traditional uses for it are being used less and less. Babysbreath is now seen as more than a filler and is used to create whimsy and romance. It is in many many weddings now as the star of the show.
5. Ombre'
Ombre' refers to a dark color fading into a lighter color, or vice versa. This effect was popularized as a hairstyle, and quickly spread into many areas of style, including floral design. This look is very new and exciting to create and view!
6. Bohemian / Bohemian Pop
This new trend is all about bold pops of color, and the brighter, the better! The most common color schemes for this style include hot pinks, oranges, blues, reds, peaches, and yellows, accented by teal or mint green. Remember those old comic books with Superman, Spiderman, and Wonder Woman? Imagine taking all of the bright colors from those comics and turning it into a wedding bouquet. Traditional Bohemian is a modern twist on the hippie style so it has muted pinks, yellows, whites and teals. The overall style looks organic, a bit messy and unsymmetrical. Bohemian Pop (or Bo-pop) gets rid of the whites and amps up the color, but the overall natural style is the same.
7. Autumn Weddings
No longer is June the most popular wedding month (At least in the Midwest). More and more brides are looking at fall as being an ideal time to celebrate marriage. The weather is cooler, yet pleasant for outdoor ceremonies, autumn tones are brilliant, and the possibilities are endless! Rustic/country themes shine in this season, but those willing to embrace the warmer colors find that there is no lack of luxurious and elegant options available!
8. Cascades
Brides that were fans of Princess Diana dreamed of walking down the aisle with a bountiful cascade of flowers. Their daughters....not so much. Heavy, clunky, cumbersome, and (did we mention HEAVY???) Cascades soon lost their appeal with the 2000-2010 brides. New methods and innovative styling though, has resurrected this timeless style with a face-lift of sorts. The best aspect about cascades is that they are effortlessly romantic and so easy to create with a natural look. Newer cascades have shed some pounds and slimmed down, resulting in delightfully airy look. movement is a key aspect with these bouquets as they bob and sway with every step the bride takes. We are so happy that new life has been breathed into this truly exquisite design!
9. The Great Gatsby Wedding
This style of wedding is for the brides who wants a big, over-the-top, showstopping wedding. Every girl can dream, but how are real-life, middle-class brides pulling off this look without going into debt? By using professionals who have a few tricks up their sleeve! Take for instance, some of the decor. Large elaborate displays of flowers? Setting any arrangement on top of one, or several large rented vases will immediately give you a bigger impact. Some inexpensive flowers have the same look as expensive ones, such as Hydrangea and carnations. Grab bunches of carnations, and tightly pack them together, and presto! An inexpensive "Hydrangea" display is made! Add a few roses here and there, and all your guests will see is a giant rose display because the roses will stand out. Branches add height and a wow factor. LED lights are inexpensive and many can be submersed in vases, making arrangements glow. A few rhinestone strands strategically placed add glamour. Also using stands or Eiffel tower vases (see babysbreath pic) in the middle of each table will elevate any arrangement, giving it a larger impact. Putting most of your money into 1 larger display will translate into a larger effect in the reception space.
10. Bling Bouquets
Increasingly, brides are looking toward renting items, rather than purchasing to save money. A great way to do that is by renting a bling bouquet! These creations are designed with rhinestones, pearls, brooches, and other assorted bling. They would also be great for the aforementioned "Great Gatsby Wedding".
11. *Bonus!* 2014 most popular wedding colors
For 2014, the most popular wedding colors for dresses and flowers will be blush, mint green, eggplant (dark purple), and Platinum. Lace is also expected to be very popular as an accent. There you go! The brides of 2014 are making wonderful choices and the results are beautiful! We look forward to creating these designs, adding your own personal touches to them (after all, who want's a cookie-cutter wedding?) and using our creative skills in new and exciting ways!
