In the 90′s and early 2000′s it didn’t matter what kind of wedding flowers you chose as long as you used A LOT of them! Floral-overkill may have been a trend in the past but in 2009 you can expect the exact opposite. Blame it on the hip minimalist movement or even the economy, but bride’s of 2009 should expect wedding flower decor to follow the classic adage of “less is always more.” Here are 4 wedding flower trends of 2009 that may take more imagination then flower blooms to fulfill.
Edgy Colors
No more light pinks and pastel yellows, these days Brides are on the prowl for bolder shaded blooms. Flowers in bright reds or oranges mixed with deep purples are a great example of this trend. The color of the flowers aren’t all what makes this bold look work. Pairing blooms outside of your “wedding colors” can also give your ceremony the same daring effect. This year is less about matching shades and more about bold compliments.
“Think outside the flower pot”
A budding 2009 trend is to incorporate more then just flowers into your arrangements. Fruits, herbs and even vegetables have made appearances across wedding flower decorations throughout the New Year. It may seem odd, but produce has just as much if not more vibrant colors to offer florals. “Thinking outside the flower pot” also means paying attention to textures. Adding green grasses, twigs and other woodland inspired decor can give your flowers extra depth and structure.
Uniformity is gone
2009 flower trends is about moving away from the uniform cafeteria look at your reception. Wedding flower centerpieces are now being displayed in different vases for each table. Large single stem flowers are being used instead of huge bouquets. Varying the height and size of your flowers on each wedding table will entertain the eye with different focal points around the room.
Extra looks like “Extra”
Although it is common for floral arrangements to use “fillers” or extra flowers to cover blank space, in 2009 you can expect the opposite to become a trend. Simplicity is the key to keeping your wedding flowers from looking overdone. Unique single flower stems and hand wrapped bridal bouquets are excellent examples. Keep quality above quantity when following this popular 2009 floral trend.
