MULTI AWARD-WINNING WEDDING-AND-EVENT FLORIST FLEURISTE, BELFAST, SHARES THE INSIDE SCOOP ON SPRING/SUMMER 2024 FLORAL TRENDS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR SPECIAL DAY A STUNNING SIGHT TO BEHOLD
MAKE A STATEMENT
The bigger a foral centrepiece can be, the better, so says the current maximalism trend in wedding fowers. While the style and design of your statement piece can vary, it will no doubt turn heads and earn admiring glances, whether it’s a traditional foral arch for framing your church doors, more modern deconstructed foral pillars for an outdoor garden ceremony, or a sensational ceiling installation in your marquee venue or a stunning full-length top-table display – something that creates impact for your guests while also serving as a beautiful backdrop for either the ceremony or reception, and sometimes, where possible, can be repurposed for post-wedding celebrations elsewhere!
BRIGHT & BOLD
More brides are making daring colour choices with their wedding fowers. While a neutral colour palette will never go out of fashion, brides who want to inject a pop of colour into their day are going all out with contrasting, complementary colours, regardless of their bridesmaids’ dress colour.
AU NATURAL
From bouquets to centrepieces, there has been a shift toward more organic, free-fowing, ‘just picked’ arrangements, using a random assortment of tall and short fower head heights to create a light and airy feel, which in turn gives each fower the attention and space it deserves to be fully appreciated, while sparser amounts of greenery are strategically placed.
CHOICE SELECTION
Brides are being more adventurous with their fower selection – fowers such as anemones, poppies, ranunculus and cosmos are proving popular choices to create a light and airy look. Some brides are opting for a statement bloom, such as protea, orchids or anthuriums, within the bridesmaid bouquets or just the bridal bouquet
SIMPLE BOUQUETS
Simple and elegant bridal bouquets of long-stemmed large headed roses is another clear trend for 2024 – brides are opting for the organic, ‘just picked’ vibe but on a grander scale with hand-tied bouquets that look gathered instead of neat and structured.
KEEP IT CLASSY
Elegance is key when planning your wedding fowers and bouquets. Candles combined with elegant bud vases or footed rose bowls continue to be popular table designs. However, nothing has to be super coordinated, but it does need to follow your overall theme or vibe, from the colour of your bridesmaid dresses to the style of your centrepieces. If you are having a very elegant formal day, you can still go for two or three different centrepiece designs as long as they ft within the overall style of your reception. This is a great opportunity to combine tall and low centrepieces, which creates interest and keeps the guests’ eyes fowing throughout the room.
From bouquets to venue décor, fowers make a beautifully visual impact on any wedding day. Use some of the trends mentioned and your perfect day will be a stunning showstopper.
