Darling Buds
For sublime beauty, sweet scent and sheer romance, there’s nothing quite like the enchanting pull of fresh flowers. This season, as brides seek out all things timeless and transcendent, we’re seeing a return to the classics, albeit with a fresh, modern flourish with wedding flowers.
Tones of ivory, cream, off-white and green have stepped into the spotlight, and foliage has become a bonafide trend in its own right.
Ivy & Rose Bouquet
Floral artisans are getting creative in their approach to wedding florals, pairing more popular, classical blooms such as peonies, David Austin roses and dahlias with more delicate of-the-moment wildflowers like Queen Anne’s Lace, wax flower, jasmine and thistle, topping it all off with an unexpected twist of foliage or herbs such as olive leaves, silver eucalyptus, rosemary, succulents or dusty miller.

#ONTREND
Stylish brides are opting for lush, loosely gathered designs with more organic forms, so bouquets are bigger and more bountiful than years’ past.

Perfectly Imperfect
We’re also seeing a fresh perspective on colour this season. Rather than taking a more precise, traditional approach, designers are looking to nature for inspiration: creating dynamic, sprightly combinations that seem to spring forth from bouquets and tables with wild, free-spirited abandon.
Where before, you may have seen simple roses paired with foliage, now frilly white ranunculus share the spotlight with baby blue hydrangeas. Deep plum roses and lilac phalaenopsis orchids sit side-by-side with soft peach David Austins, backed up by a chorus of fresh foliage.
The result is perfectly imperfect: a delicious, delicate balance of colour, form and design. Top it all off with romantic layers of ultra-luxe hand-died ribbon and you’ve got flower power perfection.

The New Classics
There’s nothing quite like fresh, fragrant flowers grown with love and harvested by hand. This trend can only grow, as brides educate themselves on local and seasonal blooms.
Floral artisans will be skilfully pairing it with the blossoms that are currently capturing brides’ hearts, like ranunculus, garden roses, hydrangeas, lisianthus, anemones and orchids to create a new take on the classics.
Comeback #QWEENS
Now more than ever, floral designers are flexing their creative muscles, and artfully combining fresh trends with timeless blooms, or classical aesthetics with unique, unexpected floral choices.
Expect to also see a renaissance for previously forgotten or disused blooms, such as zinnias, carnations, delphiniums and chrysanthemums.
These old-fashioned blossoms are being given new life with the addition of vibrant foliage, punchy colour palettes and sweeping, asymmetrical arrangements.
