Step away from traditional pastels and embrace a vibrant color palette for your wedding flowers. Rich jewel tones like deep burgundy, emerald green, and royal blue are gaining popularity. These bold hues create a striking visual impact to your wedding decor. Incorporate them into your bouquets, centerpieces, and floral installations to infuse your special day with a sense of vibrancy and uniqueness.
Consider combining different shades of vibrant blooms to create depth and dimension. Mix roses, dahlias, anemones, and ranunculus in bold colors to create eye-catching arrangements that reflect the modern spirit of your wedding.
Minimalist and Organic Designs

For couples seeking a clean and modern aesthetic, minimalist floral arrangements are an excellent choice. Embrace simplicity and let each bloom shine individually. Opt for simple, single-stem bouquets or arrangements with only a few carefully selected blooms.
Choose flowers with clean lines and sculptural shapes, such as calla lilies or orchids. These minimalist blooms add an elegant touch to your wedding while maintaining a contemporary feel. To enhance the organic aspect, incorporate natural textures like succulents, eucalyptus, and other foliage. These elements not only add depth but also create a fresh and contemporary look. Consider using them as accents in your bouquets or as greenery runners on reception tables.

Dramatic Hanging Installations

Elevate your wedding venue with breathtaking hanging floral installations. These installations, suspended from the ceiling or structures, create a mesmerizing visual effect that captivates your guests. They also serve as stunning focal points, transforming any space into a dreamy wonderland.
Consider a suspended floral chandelier above the reception area, crafted from an abundance of blooms and cascading greenery. For the ceremony, opt for a captivating curtain of flowers that flows gracefully down the aisle. These hanging installations provide an immersive and enchanting experience, leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.
In Minnesota, PHOS (www.phosevents.com) are easily one of the best at designing hanging installations.
Statement Ceremony Backdrops

Make a statement with a visually stunning ceremony backdrop that sets the tone for your wedding. A remarkable backdrop enhances the beauty of your union and creates a picturesque setting for your vows and photographs. Flower walls are a popular choice for creating a romantic and Instagram-worthy backdrop. Constructed with an array of fresh blooms, they serve as a captivating backdrop for your ceremony.
Alternatively, consider a cascading curtain of flowers, carefully arranged to form an eye-catching backdrop. You can also combine fresh flowers with other decorative elements like hanging ribbons, macramé, or vintage frames to create a unique and personalized backdrop. Add some garden roses for a particularly striking look. Grace Rose Farm (www.gracerosefarm.com) is our favorite to source from!

Non-Traditional Bouquets

Step away from the classic round bouquet and explore unconventional shapes and styles that suit your modern wedding vision. These non-traditional bouquets allow you to express your personality and create a distinct look that stands out.
Cascading bouquets feature a flowing design, with blooms gently spilling over the bride's hands. They exude an elegant and romantic vibe. Asymmetrical bouquets offer an artistic touch, with blooms arranged in an unstructured manner for a natural and organic feel. Consider incorporating a mix of focal flowers, trailing greenery, and unexpected elements like feathers or jewels to add personality and create a bouquet that truly reflects your unique style.
Dried and Preserved Flowers

Embrace sustainability and longevity by incorporating dried and preserved flowers into your wedding decor. These blooms offer unique textures and colors while ensuring that your floral arrangements can be cherished long after the big day.
Dried flowers like pampas grass, dried lavender, and strawflowers provide a rustic touch. They can be used in bouquets, centerpieces, or as decorative accents throughout your wedding. Preserved roses are another popular choice, offering the beauty of fresh flowers with the added benefit of lasting for months or even years.

Integrate dried and preserved flowers into your wedding design to create a nostalgic and eco-friendly atmosphere while adding a touch of bohemian charm.
Incorporating modern floral trends into your wedding can transform the atmosphere and create a visually stunning experience for you and your guests. Whether you opt for vibrant and bold blooms, minimalist designs, or dramatic hanging installations, embracing these trends will infuse your special day with contemporary elegance and make it truly unforgettable.
