The large and country-looking bouquets are becoming a bit tighter along with sleeker and simpler lines, and the ever-present classic hand-tied bouquet has tightened up too. Foliage is still present to create movement and rhythm but it’s starting to dominate less. Your florist should be able to guide you on shapes that will suit your overall style and will best fit your bridal gown and enhance its silhouette.” – Valerie from Flowers by Valerie Jayne. “Modern pedestals and statement designs create focal points, a great atmosphere and beautiful backdrops for your venue and photographs.” – Lynne from élégance en fleurs. “All flower trends have sustainability and styling in common. You’ll see couples asking for advice about seasonal and sustainable flowers and opting for reusable vessels for table arrangements to create a more minimal look. Contrasting this with large statement pieces like free-flowing broken arches, meadow-style floor arrangements and hanging installations will create an impact for the ceremony and photo opportunities later in the evening.” – Abbey from Fleurs&Ink. “Couples will become more environmentally conscious. I predict the current rise of stylish dried florals will continue into 2023 and work alongside other alternatives like handmade felt florals. A lot of my clients have commented on how they liked the texture of dried flowers combined with felt florals. This creates a relaxed and soft feel to the bouquets whilst still adding a pop of colour to match the overall theme.” – Jo from The Alternative Florist. www.elegance-en-fleurs.co.uk and www.drewloganphotography.co.uk www.fleursandink.co.uk and www.oliviajmorgan.com Getty Images 44
