Your Somerset, Glos & Wilts Wedding - December/January 2024/2025 (Issue 104)

52 WHAT’S POPULAR IN THE WORLD OF WEDDING FLOWERS? Smaller more elegant bouquets are definitely having a resurgence.” – Claire, Aurora Nyx Floral Design “We’re seeing lots more natural shapes and designs coming through, with the flowers being arranged in a more wildflower, meadow style as opposed to anything more symmetrical and formal,” Gemma from Femme Petale (https://femmepetale.com) shares. “Colourwise, blue is becoming increasingly popular, often being paired with lemons, peaches and cream tones. Couples are also becoming bolder and using brighter tones, especially in the height of summer with sherbert colours being especially popular for 2025.” Louise from Loubee Floral Designs (www.loubeefloraldesigns.co.uk) says, “When it comes to colour palettes, cream, green and white is my most asked for along with blush and ivory, which both work across lots of themes. Neutral tones with taupe and blush are also popular. What’s more, autumn and winter inspire couples to add some rich warm tones to their flowers along with some fresh pastels in spring. “Adding a big floral display central to the venue styling such as a broken arch is becoming increasingly popular. Rather than spreading the budget over numerous smaller areas couples are choosing to invest in larger displays which are more cost effective and can be repurposed throughout the day.” Izzy from Seed & Stem (www.seedandstem.co.uk) says, “Colour is certainly very popular at the moment, and couples are being bolder using more oranges and pinks and blues. Baskets are also trending, thanks to their contemporary and understated look. I also love to see bridesmaids holding only one variety of flower each, I hope to see more of this next year!” “Right now, wedding flower trends are all about embracing natural beauty and personal style,” Emma from Flowers by The Dungaree Gardener (www.facebook.com/TheDungareeGardener) tells us. “One of the big trends is using lots of greenery. Think lush, cascading foliage in bouquets and table arrangements. It gives a wild, romantic feel and can even help stretch your flower budget since greenery is often more affordable than blooms. “Dried flowers are also having a moment. They add a lovely texture and can create a boho or vintage vibe, plus they last long after the day itself. Pampas grass, dried roses, and wheat are popular choices for adding a rustic, earthy touch. “Finally, couples are looking for ways to personalise their arrangements, whether by incorporating meaningful flowers that tell a story or adding non-floral elements like candles, feathers, or even fruits! The key trend is that anything goes – your flowers should reflect your personality and the feel of your day.” “I’m seeing a beautiful new trend for yellow flowers with a romantic, soft twist. Think creamy, butter tones. – Megan, Megan Lily Floral Design Flowers by The Dungaree Gardener © www.murrayclarke.co.uk Loubee Floral Design © www.naomikenton.com Femme Petale © www.charliebritz.com Femme Petale © www.wearethejamess.co.uk
