Top Wedding Flower Ideas For 2009

The year 2009 for weddings is all about distinct style, drama, and inventiveness. It is not any different for wedding flowers. From the bridal bouquet to the table centerpieces to the floral boutonnieres, the hottest trends revolve around incorporating bold colors, ensuring unique appeal, and making use of one’s creative imagination.

Roses are probably the most commonly used flowers for weddings. This is probably because its color symbolizes love and affection, and that it is beautiful and stunning. This year, a bride can break away from the usual rose floral decoration or rose bridal bouquet.

Other gorgeous flowers you can use for your bridal bouquet include peonies, tulips, lilies, sunflowers, orchids, carnations, chrysanthemums, anemones, proteas, and ranunculus. You can even have a mix of different flowers if you want. Just make sure that your choices complement and go well with each other.

Colors: Bold, Bright and Daring

While pastel shades are going out of fashion. Dazzling colors, on the other hand, are making a comeback this year. Include bold, bright, and daring colors to your floral palette such as pink, red, blue, purple, deep lilac, and orange.

Today’s modern brides usually prefer to go for interesting bold colors and rich striking contrast instead of muted shades and monochromatic tones when it comes to bridal bouquets and flower decorations. These trendy colors are truly an excellent way to make a statement in your big day.

Accessories: Simple but Elegant

This year, we see that jewelry is now not only for the bride to wear. Brooches, pearls, beads, and rhinestones are being used to adorn bouquets of flowers and make them even more beautiful. The trend for accessory use is to keep it simple but elegant. Overdoing it is a big no-no!

As for the table centerpieces, accessories can be scented candles, mirrors, jars, ribbons, shells, beads, balloons, cloth, and other elements that can add a unique touch to the design. Let your creative imagination flow when creating table centerpieces for your wedding day.

Presentation: Just as Important as the Content

Sure, you have gorgeous flowers but if you do not arrange it in such way that it will be visually pleasing, you would end up with substandard floral arrangements and a bridal bouquet that you would probably not like.

One of the hottest trends in flower presentation is wrapping the blooms in various creative ways using different kinds of materials. For one, you can have a rustic arrangement using a tree bark covering for the flowers. You can also have a winter floral arrangement wrapped in a metallic ribbon or tissue. Flowers wrapped in banana leaves or raffia materials are great for beach or tropical themed weddings.

Tight and symmetrical arrangements are no longer in fashion but large three-dimensional and asymmetrical arrangements are trendy. Instead of going with a neatly arranged bouquet ball, it would be ideal to opt for natural and loose drapes of flower that give the effect of a flowing feel.

Flowers play an important role in wedding events. Make sure you get to know the latest trends in wedding flowers for this year to ensure that you have the hottest bouquet design and flower decorations for this special day.
