Wedding Trends in 2012 Part 1 – Bouquets

Flowers are an integral part of your wedding – they set the mood, establish the colour schemes, and they are probably the most noticeable aspect of your wedding that is not the bride or groom. Some of the most recent wedding trends obviously come from the Royal Wedding, but it’s your day so feel free to exercise your creativity and feature some of your favourite flowers.


Simple and Contemporary
The big wedding flower trend set by Kate Middleton is the monochrome bouquet. She sported an all white bouquet, but you can choose the colour that suits you best. An all black bouquet is bold, but it can also make an elegant statement.


Jewellery
The brides of 2012 are set to highlight their bouquets with vintage jewellery. Add a bit of sparkle to your bridal bouquets as well and you have a built-in thank-you gift for your bridesmaids. Major department stores and even small boutiques are a great place to look for affordable costume jewellery to highlight your bouquet.


Mix It Up
Recent fashion trends show designers relying more heavily on clashing colours, and your bouquet can benefit from this style as well. Get creative with colour for a more eye-popping floral arrangement for a fun and playful expression.


Whatever you choose to do with your bouquet, remember that trends are the inspiration but you should follow your instincts. Your wedding is an once-in-a-lifetime event that should embody your own personal style, favourite colours, and flowers.

Stay tuned for our next Wedding Trend installment!
