Bridal Bouquet Trends Today

Bridal Bouquet Trends Today

Wedding style trends change with every decade, and each year comes with its own nuances. This year, floral designer, Tom Bowling, AIFD, PFCI says the most noticeable trend has to do with size. “Bouquets were exaggerated in the past three years,” Bowling explains.  Dramatic, oversized statements are reducing in size. Shapes still cascade, but sizes are more in proportion with the bride. Instead of branching out side-to-side the front of the bouquet has a bit of a drop.

And while the most popular shape is a cascade, it is not the cascade of Princess Diana. The twenties are seeing cascading styles inspired by flowers and foliage’s natural form. Designers embrace the vines, branches, and stems the way they grow, and don’t force them into round mounds. 


The final look is expressive and harvested, but not wild. Previous styles bordered on untamed. Now, the look is more controlled while maintaining lots of airiness and textures. 

How do you achieve both at the same time?

The freedom of this bouquet style comes largely in part of foliage. The right greenery is  extremely important to create the look. 

 

Eucalyptus is still going strong. Their grey/green color has a “melding quality about them,” explains Bowling. “Using grey tones takes color and softens it a bit.” And this softness makes perfect sense for the romance of a wedding. 

 

Using ruscus as bouquet foliage is another example of how bouquets are demanding both organic shape, but with a clean leaf shape that balances the whimsy with elegance.

 

Finally, because texture still reigns supreme, grasses give a different color and texture.

 

With brides requesting wildflowers and varieties native to the US, including magnolias, it is good to remember that silk flowers are the answer when a bride wants a flower that’s not in season! Magnolias in particular don’t hold out of season, but permanent botanicals work out perfectly for brides.

Outside of nature’s green and white, in wedding color palettes, blue continues to appear and silk can be the only way to achieve something blue.

Consider mixing fresh and silk to achieve this year’s most desired bouquet looks.
