Foliage is taking a backseat as bouquets are becoming more flower-focused. – Sarah Ogden, Horseshoe Flowers With peach fuzz being Pantone’s Colour of the Year, we’re seeing a return to pastels and soft earthy tones. This is becoming ever popular with the floral displays presented in Bridgerton. Classic whites and greens, with plenty of fresh foliage, are always chic. - Kimberley Steffen, The Petal Bar Ltd Sage green is being replaced by a richer, more versatile olive green. This shade brings a warm, earthy elegance to wedding décor and pairs beautifully with neutral tones. - Kara Owen, Kara-Mia Venue Styling Soft pastel hues are frequently chosen for weddings due to their suitability. Nevertheless, there may be a shift towards brighter pastel shades rather than sticking to the traditional softer tones. While still incorporating classic colours like pink, cream, blue and peach, there’s a move towards a more vibrant colour palette. This aligns with the trend of incorporating various colours and styles for bridesmaid dresses to cater to different preferences to ensure the bridesmaids are pleased! - Vanessa Henderson, Floral Jazz www.mustardyellowphotography.com www.mustardyellowphotography.com Regarding the complementary colours, blues and sage greens are here to stay longer. They are not always the colours used in the flowers but work well when choosing suits, bridesmaid’s dresses, table runners and serviettes. This is because they are fairly neutral and complement so many other colours. - Vanessa Henderson, Floral Jazz
