Not everyone wants to spend an arm and a leg on flowers on their wedding day. And let’s face it: the lifespan of florals make them a difficult investment when purchasing them in bulk for a wedding. This is why more and more couples have turned to the welcomed affordability of DIY floral arrangements. But where are you supposed to even begin? Flower Moxie is the answer.

We’re midway through wrapping up the best of weddings in 2021 and it’s time for the flowers to take center stage! To say we’re in awe of floral designers and all the magic they created this year is an understatement. Trends are certainly taking a turn as we move from the dried flower trend (just a little bit) in favor of colorful blooms and unique shapes. Sculptural is still in, as flowers and fronds appear to be reaching toward the sun — eager and optimistic for better days ahead.

It’s no secret that we love big bunches of blooms, but we’re always on the hunt for the next great outside-the-box trend!

In Bridal Bouquets we’re seeing a surge of dried flowers and natural textures, but that doesn’t mean brides should shy away from dramatic color! As couples navigated the highs and lows of wedding planning this year, it seemed like they wanted to throw caution to the wind as far as flowers go. Brides chose bouquets that showed off a fun sense of style and personality and things were often over the top rather than understated.

Our “best of the year” features continue with perhaps the most beautiful of the bunch! It’s bouquet day you guys and these are the florals that had us swooning! This year it was all about the color. We saw brides embracing vibrant shades like coral, yellow, purple and rust. Bouquets were full of interesting textures and statement florals, and this year’s trend of dried flowers and bleached greenery was in full force! We also saw a fun and different bouquet alternative come into the mix with “arm bouquets”. Continue to look for more color and off-beat looks in 2020 weddings!

“Foam Free”. It’s a phrase that’s floating around the floral industry and it’s picking up steam! You may be asking, what exactly IS foam free floral design and what does it have to do with me? Well… let us break it down for you. The “foam” in foam free refers to a water absorbent mechanic that’s used to create floral designs. It’s extremely convenient to work with, however, more and more florists are trying to educate on its potential harm to the environment. Thus the phrase: “foam free”. Ingrid Rose Floral Artistry, a designer who is passionate about being foam free, shared more with us about what this movement is all about:

The monochrome bouquet is a FUN new trend that we’ve seen quietly fly below the radar — and it’s time to put it in the spotlight! Florals in 2019 (and bouquets, in particularly) are generally moving toward more abstract, sculptural shapes with big bunches of blooms favored over greenery. We’re excited to see these works of art sway away from perfection and more toward a statement piece — do you agree? And nothing makes a statement like the strategic use of color!

Before Mandy Moore’s first on-screen wedding she told hunky Landon Carter, “You have to promise you won’t fall in love with me.” **Cue tears.** Of course, we ALL fell in love with Mandy. And here we are 17 years later, having become completely smitten with her real-life nuptials! From Mandy’s pink dress to the aisle lined with vintage rugs, the day totally blew us away. But it was the ceremony arch by the oh-so-talented Of the Flowers that we simply cannot get over!!

The feathery plumes of pampas grass took over the pages of GWS last year (and there’s no sign of the trend stopping anytime soon!). Well, to complement the ornamental grass, we’ve noticed another trend emerging (or should we say an old trend that’s resurfacing?): dried florals! Yep, these blooms don’t require any maintenance at all, so you can definitely keep them as a momento after the big day.

Some of the best advice we could give brides looking to keep their wedding within budget is to prioritize the top 3 wedding costs and find ways to get creative with the rest. This generally means you’re choosing between venue, food, photography, videography, and flowers—it can be a lot! So when we heard about Wedding Flowers for Rent we were certainly intrigued and ultimately…impressed! In short, Wedding Flowers for Rent allows you to choose your wedding florals (from high-end bouquets to garlands and more), which are then shipped to you 2 days before the wedding and come complete with return labels for easy returns.
