Green chic is also a popular trend. Wildflowers give brides that “rustic” look.  Flowers like poppies, daisies, black-eyed susans, coneflowers, and lavender are popular choices for the eco-conscious bride.

Another popular wedding trend is to mix textures in the floral arrangements. Include organic elements like branches, berries, and various foliage to create interest and contrast. Adding materials like feathers and brooches are also popular with today’s brides.

It just makes these flowers more readily available. After all, it is your once-in-a-lifetime wedding! Choose your favourite colours and flowers and you can’t go wrong!
