The Biggest Wedding Flower Trends for 2020
If you are planning a fabulous 2020 wedding, these wedding flower trends are a must. Discover which flower arrangements will be seen this year, and things you need to ask your florist if you want to be ahead of the rest when it comes to beautiful wedding flowers.
Approaching Florists
You may be eager to follow the latest trends, but be worried that they could be beyond your budget. One way to make sure you are not spending excessively is to opt for seasonal flowers. Your florist should be your first port of call, be it the high street flower shop or your trusted online flower store. These professionals will be able to show you flowers that are currently in season and that are grown locally rather than shipped in, which will add extra cost.
Eco-friendly is Trendy
In addition to saving money, keeping your bouquets local is good for the environment. Flying in exotic flower bouquets leaves an extensive carbon footprint, whereas locally grown flowers use much less energy. Having flowers delivered locally is also a good way to keep your carbon footprint to a minimum. As is using the same display for different parts of the wedding day and evening party. This means using the ceremony floral displays for the reception tables and chair-ties. 2020 sees many couples embracing all things eco, so if you want to be on-trend, you will want to keep things green too.
Floral Aisles
One of the most show-stopping trends of the year will be the floral aisle. British wildflowers teamed with pastel roses will be the flowers of choice, and will line the aisle for the big moment. This is a fantastic alternative to tying flowers to the end of pews or chairs. The flowers will be joined by tall spires of flowers such as delphiniums or lupins. These flowers are available in various colours which gives couples plenty of choice for their colour schemes.
Heaven Scent
Every so often, traditions return with a twist, and 2020 sees exactly that. Once upon a time, bouquets were used by brides, not as mere decoration, but to hide the unpleasant smell of poor hygiene. In the Middle Ages, bouquets were adorned with spices and herbs to hide the smell of body odour, and also to ward off evil spirits. In 2020 bouquets will be arranged with aroma in mind once again, yet not because of poor hygiene or to fight evil spirits! Sweet peas, lavender and lilacs are all top choices for fragrant bouquets in 2020. The subtle scent of beautiful flowers as you walk down the aisle is certain to add an extra special element to your wedding ceremony.
Minimalist Displays
Perhaps it is the trend of being more eco-aware, or couples just had enough of going over the top for their weddings, but minimalism is a key trend in 2020 weddings. Couples are steering away from bright. Colourful floral displays in favour of muted tones accompanied by greenery. This means we will see a lot more pastel hues, and white flowers as part of bouquets, buttonholes and table displays. Again, this will also mean re-using displays for different parts of the ceremony. This is great news, not only for the environment but also for couples that are on a strict budget. Your flowers can still look amazing, without the need to go overboard with the number of displays you use and the variety of blooms you choose.
