Wedding Trend: Getting Back to Nature
June 29, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Getting back to nature is a growing movement. We live in a fast paced world and many people have begun to see the beauty in slowing down. This is also true for the wedding world. Couples are choosing a more relaxed, natural atmosphere opposed to the old standard wedding structure of perfection.
Out with the old, and in with the…old? Brides are discovering “new” flowers that are actually heirloom flowers. There are older varieties of mums, zinnias, and carnations (among others) that are making a comeback. These older versions come in different shapes and more pastel colors that are a great match for the softer look many brides are trying to achieve.
With the rise of free seating and movement towards longer, rectangular tables, multiple centerpieces will take the stage. These centerpieces are likely to include flowering branches and layers of greenery. There will also be variations in centerpieces to create a loosely connected vibe, rather than identical pieces across the board.

Locally grown flowers native to the region where a couple will be getting married are becoming more popular. Brides are choosing to have a free-flowing bouquet with a more organic look. This also brings the introduction of other elements of nature, like sprigs of lavender or edibles.
Whether you decide to stick with a more traditional style or go au naturel, flowers add beauty to any venue. For help discovering which flowers will make your day perfect, contact one of our local florists!

Floral Trend Predictions for the Winter Wedding Season
August 28, 2015 by Leave a Comment
With summer coming to a close we face the realization that winter weddings are coming soon! Here are a few of our predictions of what will be trending this winter!
Chic and Glamorous
This coming winter wedding season, you can bring glamour back to the wedding scene.
Using romantic, large-bloomed florals and mixing them with traditional red or white roses can draw the eye and make any arrangement pop.
If you are planning on sticking to the sophisticated look, using accents of metallic colors such as gold, silver and copper can add a touch of class to any winter wedding floral decor.
Warm and Cozy
Adding a cozy inviting theme turns natural elements into a fun and intimate affair. Mixing florals with natural decor is sure to create a breathtaking aesthetic.
Filler flowers, including baby’s breath or waxflowers, and non-floral elements, such as wool and berried branches, will mix-in nicely with simple blooms such as roses and lilies.
Accents of natural colors like evergreens, rich browns and deep reds will harmonize this winter wedding theme.
Home for the Holidays
The Christmas theme can mix in effortlessly with a sophisticated style. Textiles like velvet, faux fur and woven textures will enhance an elegant holiday-themed wedding.
A Christmas-inspired wedding can accentuate traditional red roses with boxwood or holly. Pinecones, cranberries and mistletoe mixed within the bridal bouquet can also add a holiday touch.
Don’t hesitate to mix a bit of the elegant with a bit of the earthy this winter wedding season! For more great ideas and tips, visit the Bloomin’ Blog!

Summer 2015 Floral Wedding Trends
June 8, 2015 by Leave a Comment
The season of weddings is upon us and that means summer brides are out in full force to take advantage of this year’s hottest styles. Take a look at what we believe will be the five most popular trends for brides’ 2015 summer affairs.
Large-Blossomed Flowers
To create a romantic and luxurious atmosphere, large-blossomed flowers will be trending. Blooms such as hydrangeas, peonies and garden roses will be used to make bold statements in a variety of wedding decor, from bouquets to the table centerpieces. Blossoms are versatile for many occasions and can fit right in with a variety of wedding styles.
Lush Greenery
Inspired by the natural essence of a garden, many are opting to bring in lush greenery, such as mixes of herbs or garlands often made from varieties of ferns or leafy foliage, to complement to center piece wedding day blooms. Herbs like rosemary and mint are used primarily for their shape and rich aromas, while ferns are taken for their lacy delicate textures. Consider bringing in greenery for a more natural feel to any wedding theme.
Cascading and Teardrop Bouquets
Cascading bouquets have a 100-year history. Seen as a very classic arrangement, the style has come and gone several times throughout the last century. The height of its popularity occurred when Princess Diana walked down the aisle with her own cascading bouquet, the teardrop bouquet is much more streamlined with its shorter drop. Both styles are perfect for the classic bride.
Heirloom Elegance
Another trend you can expect to see in summer 2015 will be heirloom and vintage incorporated into many bridal styles. “Bejeweled accents” will be strategically blended into bridal bouquets and on bouquet handles. Other approaches for adding “bling” into a wedding include family jewelry, such as earrings necklaces, crowns or brooches, which gives the event a personal touch and a twist of modern sophistication.
Re-purposed and Up-cycled
Suggested for weddings with a more rustic ambiance, re-purposed and up-cycled elements bring a simple, natural feel to a couple’s big day. Not only budget-friendly, wedding decor like centerpieces, signs and vases created to accentuate floral arrangements mix well into a natural atmosphere. Mix-and-match pieces also give the perfect “homey” feel to an intimate affair while maintaining a strong theme throughout the event.
