Trend Watch - Whimsical, Garden Style

Browsing through catalogs and websites, I can’t help but notice that brides are leaning toward less structured, less rigid designs this season.  We’re seeing brides opt for flowers like garden roses, peonies, hydrangea, lily of the valley… soft, feminine blooms with fragrance.  Color palettes range from muted cream, peach, and apricot tones to more vibrant selections like pinks, yellows and oranges. 
If you are thinking about the whimsical garden style for your event, consider these tips to make your event standout from others
-          Use a non-traditional vessel (mason jars, antique glass bottles, old tin cans, fenton milkglass)
-          Choose blooms that are in season and local – you will end up with the most luscious blooms
-          Greenery and accent flowers are just as important as the focal flowers for this style, don’t hesitate to incorporate flowering vines like clematis, fuzzy foliage like lamb’s ear or dusty miller, you might even consider using berries like vibernum or green raspberries.
Here are a few examples that I really fell in love with.
