Trends, seasonality and personalized advice
Choosing a bridal bouquet is a key step in planning a wedding. It reflects the bride's personality and complements her outfit. In 2024, trends are moving towards more natural, romantic, and personalized arrangements. Let's discover together how to choose the perfect bouquet for your big day.
2024 trends: towards more naturalness and romanticism
country bouquets
Wildflowers, wild grasses, pastel shades... the rustic style is still popular. It offers a bohemian and romantic look, perfect for country weddings. This style is characterized by airy and messy arrangements, giving the impression of a bouquet freshly picked from a garden.
monochrome bouquets
Elegance often lies in simplicity. Monochrome bouquets, composed of a single color or very similar shades, add a touch of sophistication. This type of bouquet highlights the natural beauty of the flowers without the distractions of multiple colors, creating a cohesive and harmonious visual effect.
textured bouquets
Dried flowers, pampas grass, variegated leaves... textures add depth and texture to your arrangements. By combining different textures, you can create a visually interesting bouquet that catches the eye and perfectly complements your wedding outfit.
long-lasting bouquets
Brides are increasingly aware of environmental issues. Seasonal flowers, preserved flowers, and bouquets made with dried flowers are attractive alternatives. These choices help reduce the wedding's carbon footprint while offering sustainable and aesthetically pleasing arrangements.
Seasonal flowers: the key to a successful bouquet
Choosing seasonal flowers has many advantages:
a more affordable cost
Seasonal flowers are generally less expensive than exotic flowers. They are available in larger quantities and do not need to be imported, which reduces transportation costs.
greater freshness
Seasonal flowers are picked at their peak, making them more beautiful and long-lasting. They come directly from local producers, ensuring optimal freshness for your bouquet.
better availability
Florists have a wider selection of seasonal flowers, allowing you to create more original arrangements. Here are some examples of seasonal flowers:
- spring : tulips, ranunculus, grape hyacinths.
- summer : roses, peonies, hydrangeas, dahlias.
- autumn : dahlias, cosmos, chrysanthemums, heathers.
- winter : amaryllis, ranunculus, hellebores, fir branches.
