Just as wedding cakes are
essential to a wedding, so are flowers.
The bride's bouquet is an
important part of her outfit - same goes for the chief bridesmaid and sometimes
the other bridesmaids.
However, the past years have brought about an
evolution in the use of flowers at weddings, as well as the styles and designs
for venue decoration.
In addition, not only has flowers
been introduced as centerpieces, they have also become a part of cake
decorations.
In fact, elaborate bouquets with
exotic flowers have become a norm in wedding ceremonies as well as themed
decorated flower vases.
However, without further much
ado, if your wedding is around the corner and you are feeling conflicted about
what floral trend to use for your wedding, worry not, we've put together a list
of floral trends that we think are going to be the rave around the world in
2018.
1. Free form bouquet
This is a beautiful trend that is
predicted to make waves in the next year. As the name suggests, free form
bouquets can have all sorts of flowers and themes - free form bouquets will
feature eclectic flowers with vibrant color palettes. Updated twists are
also expected on the classic white
bouquets. Uncommon flowers as well as an assortment of different unrelated
flowers will make up the bouquet.
2. Floral
crowns
Bridal headpieces made of flowers
were introduced this year and this also looks like a promising trend for the
next year.
Besides, brides whose
personalities lean towards modern/hip love flower crowns! So it is the perfect
balance of earthy and elegance.
The right arrangement and
selection of flowers creates a beautiful head piece that adds the final touch
to the outfits. So , if you are planning a summer or spring wedding, you should
embrace the floral crowns.
on a different note, some brides
may ditch the flower crowns but it can be worn by the bridesmaids.
3. Floral wall decorations
A trend that is sure to skyrocket
in 2018 is decorating the walls of wedding receptions with flowers. The styles
which this trend can be featured range from wall drapes made entirely of
flowers to flower arrangements placed strategically on the walls. A unique way
to use floral wall decorations is to include lights.
In addition, cover your venue
with white daisies and arrange brightly colored lights amidst them to create an
aesthetic effect during the wedding reception.
4. Arbors
Arbors have been forecasted as
one of the top floral trends for 2018.
If you're planning an outdoor
wedding ceremony, pick a location with an arbor or a location that will be
perfect to add an arbor. The arbor can serve as the perfect setting for your
wedding altar. It creates the perfect natural aura for your wedding reception.
If you're using a natural arbor (made of twisted branches) you can drape it
with linens from your wedding color scheme. If you're buying or building an
arbor, decorate it with your flowers that match your bouquet or your wedding
theme.
5. Living greenery
Greenhouse plants are going to be
a common sight at weddings in 2018. From bouquets to archways and table
centerpieces, nature is making its presence known next year. Greenhouse themed
wedding are also expected to compliment the living greenery trend.
Modern-style weddings will
feature a vast range of beautifully decorated, nature-inspired bouquets and
flower vases.
6. Floral
chandeliers
This is a trend that has been
featured in the last few years and promises to make a wave in 2018.
Suspended flower arrangements are
used in place of actual chandeliers. Floral chandeliers are beautiful
decorations for reception venues and they influence the mood of the ceremony.
Chandeliers made with flowers can be hung above the reception tables or at the
center of the room.
