Symmetrical
floral centerpieces are out. Choose centerpieces of varying size, shape and
color. Stay away from using the same vases at each reception table. Choose
local, organically grown flowers. After your wedding, donate the arrangements
to nearby hospitals or other facilities.
"In
color palettes, green is still the most sought after color with accent shades
of creams and white or hot pinks and mango coral," says Clara
Varga-Gonzales, owner of Tiger
Lily Florist in Charleston, S.C.
"However, combinations of deep burgundy red Black Magic roses, Black
Forest mini Callas and rich purple, almost black, tulips are striking against
ornate damask linen. No more white linen on guest tables for sure."
"Many cost conscious and younger brides are opting to veer
away from the exotic, elegant vibe and instead find flirty uses for the
everyday blossom," explains Tara Simone Powell, floral and event design
expert and owner of Barbara's Flowers. "Whimsical bouquets designed with
gerbera daisies or dare I say 'carnations!' Carnations, so often frowned upon
as a 'funeral flower' come in a wide range of colors and of course are very
reasonably priced. For a day time wedding, consider a tussy of carnations bound
with a whimsical patterned ribbon!"
