The Floral Crown

The floral wedding crown has become a huge trend over the last few years. This are a great way to skip the veil and do something different (although they can also work with a veil, depending on what you are going for). They can be created more more natural for a bohemian look or made to be a bit more upscale for a classy more traditional wedding look.  We have fallen in love with this trend and are glad to see it catching on.

Some wedding parties even order floral crowns or hair accessories for everyone in the bridal party.  This is a great way to keep all your girls matching without making them wear the same jewelry.  Everyone from the maid of honor to the flower girl can participate in this trend.

Blumz event and marketing team even made a few crowns to wear to the Grand Circus Gala last week.  It was a fun way to dress up our outfits.  Floral crowns are also a great trend for nights out and for music festivals.

The 2015 Floral Wedding Trends

Flowers have long been used for celebrations, to mark special occasions,  to celebrate a new life and happiness.  So, it's no surprise that they are a prominent feature at a wedding. In fact for some brides, picking out the flowers can be as important as picking out the dress and the ring. We are calling this years most popular flowers the "Golden Girls'.  This includes peonies, hydrangeas, garden roses, ranunculus, and dahlias.

 They are, to use a southern phrase "bodacious, voluptuous, full figured, and lovely".  Big, round, fluffy, full flowers like the Golden Girls are romantic and lush.  They can be casual or upscale depending on how you present them. When they are displayed within a silver, crystal, or mercury glass they take on an upscale and elegant look.  When they are mixed with finer textured accent flowers and presented in white-washed terracotta, delft blue, or hobnail white glass they take on a more casual yet still refined appearance. Just keep in mind, just like Blanche Devereaux these ladies enjoy their cool beverages! To maintain their fullness the designs should be in containers that have a sufficient water source or they will "get the vapors" and wilt.

We also continue to see a resurgence of the once maligned baby's breath.  While its presence is still seen in the typical role of an accent flower, it is also talking the role of the main flower in a beautifully simple mono-floral style bouquet.

We have also been going gaga for greenery. For the longest time foliage was just a material that was used to hide the mechanics and to fill in the space around the flowers.  It was seen as a second rate material that should just fade into the background. Thankfully, this is finally changing! Foliage is taking on a more prominent role in the floral designs that are being featured at weddings. Herbs, ivy, smilax, and magnolia are also gaining popularity.  A more botanical aesthetic is becoming popular as the former trends of mason jars and burlap morph into something a little more refined while keeping the earth tones that have become so popular.
