White roses are classic, sure, and will always be part of many wedding parties. But nowadays, more people are looking for individuality rather than traditionalism in their choice of wedding flowers. Today, we are looking beyond roses, beyond white and beyond pink to see what awesome ideas the brides of today are having for their wedding flowers!
Color!
This is the most important development in wedding flowers for the year. Colored bouquets have slowly been gaining ground against the traditional white roses or pretty pink posy for a while now. We're starting to see bold colors come into their own -- and not only traditionally feminine colors like bright purples and pinks. If you’re a fiery bride, why not choose an orange and yellow burst of color for your wedding flowers?
Tall bouquets
Bouquets are branching out from the traditional round shaping, or even the round-with-cascades shaping. These tall, swaying bouquets are long and graceful, and so du jour.
Fruit as flowers
While fruit would technically not be in the realm of wedding flowers, it is a gorgeous way to bring strong scents and a luscious freshness to your wedding. Celebrity florists like Kevin Lee are utilizing fruit (citrus especially) in their themed weddings. Your own florist can do an excellent job at a quarter of the price.
Petals
Petals often carry much of the scent of the flower itself, and are a very individual way to incorporate flowers in your wedding. You can scatter petals over where you'll be standing in the ceremony, around the plates on the tables at the reception, and even on yourself -- in your veil and on your shoulders. Petals can be a little cheaper than flowers, because second-grade flowers can still be used to produce first-grade result. Ask your florist!
Greenery
As in the picture, greenery is making a comeback … and not just in the stems of your flowers! Gorgeous green petals and feathery leaves can create a tangible sense of freshness for your wedding. It's a great way to help you express the fact that it’s the dawn of a new era.
Unusual shapings
Your bridal bouquet can be anything you want it to be -- even a life-size basketball made of flowers hanging from a string! This is just one of the many original ideas for wedding flowers that your florist no doubt has. Flower-covered baskets are becoming popular too, in the same vein!
