{What do you think are going to be the biggest floral trends in 2019?}
I think pave of flowers are coming back in style in a major way this year! Instead of spreading your flowers through the arrangements, we are seeing brides choose collections of flowers within the arrangement. These tight clusters add a point of focus to arrangements.

{Can you speak specifically about upcoming trends in bridal florals?}
Bouquets have been far larger recently. We’re seeing more clients request bouquets that are horizontal in form and wild in textures. Brides aren’t scared to pop colors in theirs and have them untamed. I so love that the recent trends are stepping away from the traditional mound. I am all about some horizontal and cascading bouquets!

{Are there certain flowers that are going to be more popular than others?}
Most brides tend to love hydrangea and roses. No matter what arrangements we are doing, most get hydrangea. Deciding what flowers will be used in an arrangement begins first with picking an overall style for your florals. Your style will determine what your prominent flower is going to be. For example, if you are  going for a more organic style you would have mostly greenery with a few flowers, but if you are aiming for something more traditional you will see more roses and hydrangea.

{What are you personally looking forward to experimenting with this year?}
My favorite things to make are bouquets. I feel they are the most personal part of the wedding. They are with the bride every step of the way and in most of the pictures. Because of that I enjoy experimenting with those most. Keeping the personality of the bride while making them unique is my favorite part of floral design.

{What old trends do you think are going out of style?}
​I think old trends are sticking to a traditional large arrangement on your food table. What we have found is more popular is a large collection of vases. As far as guest tables, instead of featuring one arrangement we like to hang the centerpiece. This may include a board of flowers, floral chandeliers, crystal chandeliers, moss balls, etc.

{Which things are coming back into play?}
Lighting has become HUGE. Whether its hanging bubbles over your dance floor or choosing to put up-lights or pin-spots around the room. It plays a major role in setting the ambiance of your reception. I like to refer to lighting as giving your room a face lift.  After all, without proper lighting it can be extremely difficult for guests to see the wonderful detail of your decor.

{What advice would you give to someone who has no idea what kind of flowers they want to see at their wedding?}
I like to start by showing them pictures. First step is choosing your style. Once we do that we move on to what colors and go from there! We love brides who have no idea what they like. It makes the process interesting for both parties.
