Hottest Trends for 2018 Wedding Flowers

​​The Look - Fresh From The Garden

Five years ago, everyone wanted tight and symmetrical arrangements. But now, brides have a desire to bring elements from the natural world into their weddings. Larger, asymmetrical bouquets are all the rage. They look like they have just been freshly picked from the garden and have lots of natural texture. To achieve this look, floral designers are using more greenery and natural elements and less flowers

Some examples of greenery recommended for this look include seeded eucalyptus, silver dollar eucalyptus, pepperberry, and Italian ruscus. "Old fashioned" flowers, such as peonies, dahlias, and chrysanthemums have made a triumphant comeback! Garden roses, spray roses, anemones, scabiosa, lisianthus, and ranunculus are also popular options for this look.

Flower crowns have had a surge in popularity for 2018! They are adjustable in size with a ribbon in the back, which makes them comfortable to wear all day. Whether you have a rustic, vintage, classic, or sea side wedding, there is a flower crown to match your style.

Long, rectangular kingstables with natural centerpieces are popular this year. Clean glass vases have been replaced with compotes, satellites, and candelabras in antique finishes, such as mercury glass, vintage glass, brass, copper, and brushed metal.

Garlands are also very popular this year. They can be draped over arches, chairs, signage, frames or even used as centerpieces. Couples especially love these types of arrangements for their sweetheart table!
