TREND INFO 2010 Happy New Year, 2010 to all of you ladies, AND
gentlemen who received an engagement ring for the holidays!
CONGRATULATIONS on your exciting news! The Floral and Event
Professionals at Blumz have
researched many sources as well as interviewed brides and grooms they
have had the honor of assisting with the plans for their upcoming 2010
weddings. Here are a few of this year's projected wedding trends.
Trend One Large
scale "explosions" of flowers are waning. Earthy landscapes are in.
Branches and trees encompassed by moss and small pots of greenery or
herbs are the big trend starting to peak around the corner. Top that
with a few white dendrobium orchids blooms and you have yourself a
stunning table centerpiece!
Trend Two Roses, roses,
roses. Beautiful unique colors and textures, abound. This is not your
"Mothers round, tight, red rose ball bouquet". The "loose, just picked"
look is totally in! The rose has always been and will continue to be, a
lovely classic flower to be incorporated into the bouquets to carry.
They have just been "set free" from their former tight bounds! Additionally
other popular flowers this season are hydrangea, peonies, dahlias and
orchids. However, many of these flowers are seasonal or have special
handling requirements that must be met for optimum effect. Work with a
professional certified florist to find out which flowers will work best
for your particular situation. As much as many "flower people" wish to
give you advise and opinions, trust the certified professional to know
the difference in a wives tale and a fact.
Trend Three Another
huge trend right now is to give a favor that is meaningful and useful.
For example, paying tribute to the couples family heritage i.e., unique
chopsticks for a couple of Asian decent. Who wouldn't love a pair of
chopsticks for a fun night in with some yummy take out? Or another
example is to make a donation to charity in the name of the couples'
guests. A great way to do this and get something in return, is to
purchase fair trade or eco friendly items from websites like
thehungersite.com who donate food or a portion of the money from your
purchase. You get the best of both worlds because you get an actual item
for your favors and a donation is made! Don't forget, decoratively
enhancing the package takes the favor and allows it to become an added
touch to your overall table decor. Nothing finishes off a table like a
little more splash of your wedding color and theme.
Other trends are as follows: Vintage dress and theme is strong. Black and white photography with a vintage flair further enhances the overall effect. Warm, bright, vibrant color tones are making a big showing for 2010. Candy buffets continue to add a "sweet touch" to the reception. While
DIY (do it yourself) and thriftiness is prevalent, always seek the
advise, guidance and assistance of professionals when deciding if "doing
it yourself" is going to be appropriate for your particular needs. Tungsten jewelry is adding its own touch to the "bling" in the wedding plans. Video streaming of the wedding event on the internet continues to gain interest.
While
each wedding should reflect the personalities, wishes and expectations
of the individual bridal couple, use of current trends can add a
contemporary or up-to-date feel to the festivities.
The
professional staff at Blumz are ready and eager to help guide you
through the wedding planning process. From beautiful and creative floral
designs, tuxedo rental, specialty linens and chair covers,
