A few weeks back, I attended an event put on by Blumz in Ferndale, MI. They showcased the various wedding and decor trends that have been forecast for this year and next, discussed how to use the trends to identify your client’s style, as well as what they can do as florists to make the decor experience a memorable one.
The first trend discussed was “PatchWorld”, which you can see pictured first in this post. The concept here is a blending of multi-ethnic and multicultural expression to represent the “American” demographic. The key is to mix tradition elements with more exotic ones to create a tension and eclectic blending.
“ECOnomics” was the second trend discussed in their presentation, in which you might think of agriculture and economics in an urban setting. Tabletop gardens, leaf-covered containers, and compacted uptown bouquets in structural vessels reflect sleek lines of the city.
In the trend titled “CURIOsities”, shabby chic and global of previous years combine with collections of oddities such as more vintage, romanticized relics. Sun bleached colors, casually mixed romantic garden flowers, and salvaged treasures dominate this trend.
Finally, “TechnoGlam” rounds out the coming trends. This is a sexy, intense, sophisticated and modern play on bold colors against a neutral background of white or gray. Arrangements might be monofloral, highly stylized, and consist of more exotics and tropicals used in a non-traditional style.
