Brides-to-be will be lining your floral shop this season looking for floral arrangements that are unique. So how can you make sure you are stocked with what your customers need when the potential arrangements are limitless?
Today's trends for wedding flowers are quite diverse, so it’s crucial to carry a variety of flowers, greens, and floral accessories so that everyone who’s planning a wedding can find something that will fit in with their wedding's theme and personal preferences.
We see three big upcoming themes for wedding floral arrangements
1.Garlands
Many couples are inspired by nature and wish to express their love with freshness and wild, organic look of greens and botanicals.Garlands are hot at many wedding’s nowadays, and the lusher, the better! The rugged textures of succulents and beauty of desert flowers attract many future brides and grooms who chose to go for more distinctive floral arrangements for their wedding.
If your floral business does not currently offer unique and charming garlands mixed with bay leaf foliage, olive branch, silver dollar and seeded eucalyptus, magnolia or leyland cypress you may want to consider contacting your SWF fresh-cut sales representative. Accenting your garlands with succulents and other desert flowers make a unique statement and are sought after for bouquets, corsages, centerpieces or wedding favors.
Is your business well stocked with luxuriant greenery for centerpieces, garlands, table runners, and backdrops for wedding ceremonies and receptions?
2.Classic
For many other couples, though, the style of choice seems to be a more classic look, featuring large floral displays and amplified sophistication with floral arrangements.
Tall arrangements of fresh blooms that soar towards the ceiling create an elegant and dramatic effect. Exotic flowers with candles and soft lighting can truly add splendor and romantic feel to the wedding venue. For instance, mixing timeless roses, available in solid colors, bicolor varieties, as well as striped and tipped roses, with hydrangea and lush greenery will draw attention and create an extraordinary focal point.
How about the gentle Stephanotis? It seems to be a wonderful choice for weddings, not only because of its lovely, white florets, but also due to the Victorian meaning for this flower, which is "marital happiness.”
Another great floral choice that many brides are going for are calla lilies, representing "magnificent beauty" in the language of flowers. Calla lilies possess a distinct form and come in a large-headed variety with a long, smooth stem, suitable for tall arrangements or presentation-style bouquets, and a miniature version perfect for nosegays and boutonnieres.
Make sure your floral business offers calla lilies in yellow, orange, mauve-pink, and deep purple-burgundy colors, in addition to the traditional creamy ivory.
3.Local Field Fresh-Cuts
Finally, some couples will opt for using local flowers for their wedding. Many eco-conscious couples are committed to having a greener wedding by using their local farm flowers. Local flowers and other botanicals, when properly arranged have the opportunity to create bold, unique, and intimate wedding arrangements.
Springtime flowers can be such amorous and dreamy expressions of love, so many brides will opt for seasonal flowers for their wedding bouquets and floral arrangements. Some meaningful farm fresh wedding choices to consider are tulips, zinnia, lily of the valley, dahlia, peonies, lilac, hydrangea, hanging amaranthus, coxcomb, and sunflowers.
The idea of the eat-local food movement has spread to the flower fields. Make sure to consider the cultural shift of promoting local farmers and seasonal choices this wedding season.
