Top 3 Floral Trends for 2011 Brides: 1) Garden Style Flowers -There have been growing signs of the return of this trend in 2010, but I predict that in 2011 it will become much bigger. This style is indicative of lots of mixed greens and flowers picked in large loose bundle bouquets typically tied with a natural material like raffia or a patterned ribbon with the majority of stems showing. The centerpiece flowers are placed in mason jar or garden container.

I think this is an excellent way to pull in wedding colors and just add another texture to the table design and is definitely something that I see becoming very popular in 2011. 3) The Return of the Carnation -Ok I know this is something that wedding designers have been predicting for the past few years but I really feel like 2011 is the year for the carnation. With new varieties like the “moon series” or the “down to earth collection” coming out of Ecuador and Columbia I think this flower is really up to make a comeback! (Moon series Carnations) |
