Being on the beautiful Jersey Shore means we sure do our share of summer Weddings! There are few better places to start your life together than on beach with sounds of the crashing waves of the Atlantic ocean, a cool see breeze and sand between your toes. Summer weddings translate to sunshine, sandy toes and gorgeous lush blooms to create a perfect wedding atmosphere. For all those summer brides ready to plan their wedding flowers, here are some 2016 Summer Wedding trends for you to explore.
-
Wild, woodland inspired flowers - While we have loved the rustic
theme over the past few years, we are seeing this trend transition
toward a lush, whimsical atmosphere with wild, woodland inspired
flowers. Think loose ferns and local wildflowers mixed with more exotic
blooms to create a farm-to-table, local floral look. - Multi-vased floral centerpieces - Whether you are going traditional with round tables or venturing to elongated king tables... one centerpiece is so limiting. With many smaller centerpieces, you create an inviting table for conversation and the opportunity to choose multiple single blooms for a dramatic effect.
- Unique vessels - Vintage metal pitchers in varying sizes, bowls of floating flowers, vessels lined with fruit or foliage are all unique choices for stunning collections as your centerpiece and a great way to exhibit your personality as a couple!
- Sunny yellow flowers - Sunshine is the perfect accessory for every summer bride, why not continue this glow with sunny yellow flowers? Yellow roses, craspedia (little yellow ball flowers) sunflowers, golden Gerber daisies and yellow ranunculus all compliment the summer theme - whether it's beachy or formal, golden yellow exudes happiness on your wedding day.
- Alternatives to the wall of flowers - We've all seen the celebrity weddings with the full wall of flowers for a lush, extravagant photo-op backdrop. You can create the same eye-catching photo spot without a ridiculous floral budget. Select a location at your reception venue that all guests will see and then get creative- use a mantel, a barn door or bring in a few barrels and 2 chairs - add lush greenery with your signature flowers and you have created a signature floral photo spot even the glitziest superstar would envy.
Like your wedding, your wedding flowers should make you happy and compliment your beauty as a couple. Have fun selecting your florals for your bright summer wedding and then sit back and enjoy them on your big day!
