.5 million weddings are estimated to take place in 2022 - the largest amount of weddings in one year the US has seen since 1984.
Wedding vendors are in full force with more events than ever before; and with the challenges that come along with such high demand, it also brings a new wave of refreshed creativity that went underutilized as the event industry all but froze during the pandemic. Couples and wedding vendors alike have been waiting for this, and the events we are seeing this year are proving that it was worth the wait. Floral Trends We Love (and are likely to stick around through the wedding boom)
Color. Color Everywhere Couples are steering away from more classic styles, like white florals and romantic blush tones, and electing to add pops of color throughout their weddings – including in their floral arrangements. Adding bold, bright blooms, such as bright pinks and blues and/or deep red and orange hues have been trending upward rapidly. It’s almost as if waiting so long to plan their big days has allowed these couples to break free of what they thought they were supposed to want, and embrace styles that perhaps represent them better. While color is in full force, don’t rule out the earthy, neutral tones quite yet. This trend is not far behind the color obsession, providing a softer, more romantic style for those not as interested in a sea of color for their big day.
Texture & Height We’re seeing florals soar to new heights in the priority hierarchy for many clients. They’ve waited for their big day, and they are ready to make a statement. Texture has always been a component of floral arrangements; however, it has moved from being a subtle piece to a more upfront, focal component of many designs.
