What new floral trends will create impact at our micro-wedding?
Dried flowers have been making a big comeback recently. Mindfulness and ethical buying has been the drive for this trend; couples want a more natural and foraged look with an environmentally friendly approach. Dried flowers are everlasting, which makes them budget-friendly – you can take them home after the big day to enjoy for a long time. Whether you're incorporating unusual blooms, seed pods, dried grasses or other lasting greenery in your design, dried flowers lend themselves to so many different styles, from vintage and boho to contemporary.
A firm favourite of ours is pampas grass. We love its fluffy and wild look, and it features prominently in arrangements because of its height (it can grown more than two metres) adding impact with just a few stems. We also love to use spears and fan palms; their lines and texture add a clean and elegant look. Dried materials are available bleached and dyed in a range of shades, from soft and subdued to bold neon colours if you want maximum drama.
