Three Hot Trends For Summer Bridal Bouquets

Sunday - Jul, 10th 2011

Now that the summer wedding season is in full swing, we share our suggestions for which flowers and styles will feature in the hottest and most ‘on-trend’ summer wedding bouquets of 2011.

Give your wedding bouquet a touch of ‘bling bling’!

The standard and most popular type of wedding bouquet is hand-tied, where the flowers and stems are gathered together and wrapped in wide satin ribbon. Brides who want a more glamorous and personalised bouquet should choose beads, brooches, jewel pins, pearls, and crystals or rhinestones to ‘lift’ the plain ribbon that ties the stems together.

Brides who want to give a more rustic and natural look to their bouquet can incorporate feathers, berries, herbs and succulents like kumquats and small lemons or limes. The bouquet won’t only look different and unique, but it will also have an amazing scent for the bride and those around her to enjoy.

It’s ‘au revoir’ to the sweet rose!

Whilst the rose continues to be the most popular and traditional wedding bouquet flower, lilies, peonies, hydrangeas, tulips and orchids represent ‘on trend’ choices this summer. Arrangements with a more casual, ‘just-picked from the garden’ feel, are set to replace the more tightly-bound and structured bouquet shapes of previous seasons.

Hot pink is the new white

Whilst the white and cream monochrome bouquet is still in high demand, summer brides are increasingly choosing vivid, vibrant flower colours in pinks and purples. These strong colours will photograph beautifully as they will be offset against the white and cream wedding dresses. Some of the best flowers for brides to consider include the peony, hydrangeas and orchids.
