FLOWERS 57 “Sage and dusky blue have been a favourite theme for a few years now, but now couples are adding contrasting hues and putting their own stamp on this popular theme.” – Louise from Louise Roots Wedding & Event Florist. “We are in the times of quirky, futuristic designs on the catwalks in Paris, so why not when you walk down the aisle? A musthave for brides of 2024: minimalist A-line gowns with sleek bodices and flowing skirts, an elegant, understated look, paired with a unique, artistic bridal bouquet.” – The team at Nicki’s Florist. “Locally grown flowers work in any venue and in any style, whether you’re having a rustic barn wedding or getting married in a castle. They can look high-end and luxurious or just be picked from a field, and that is what makes them so desirable. Couples adore their scent, their twiddly stems and the knowledge that they are being kind to the planet.” – Rebecca from Lilac and Lace Floral Design. “Vibrant themes and mixing unusual colour combinations are popular. This year, more than most, our weddings have been full of colour. Pretty combinations of wild flowers and vibrant blooms of coral, pink, soft orange, lilac and blue.” – Louise from Louise Roots Wedding & Event Florist. “One growing trend that we’re noticing is bright wedding flowers as couples look for festival-themed florals. Vibrant roses, carthamus and dyed teasels are perfect for this, alongside fluffy lagurus (hare’s tails), which come in a range of colours and add a lovely texture to bouquets, buttonholes and table decorations.” – Sasha from Essentially Hops. “We rarely design formal round bouquets now. The style for bouquets is now unstructured and arranged in an asymmetrical, relaxed style. I have had an influx of requests for the classic shower and teardrop bouquets and I think we will see the return of these bouquets more and more through 2025 for the more formal style of wedding.” – Louise from Louise Roots Wedding & Event Florist.
