Wedding floristry 2017 – fashion trends They promise classics in a new version. Wedding floristry refers not only to the bride’s bouquet, but also to the general design of the room in which flowers are present. Living decorations on the tables, design of the photo zone, ceremony area, table of the bride and groom - the floral decoration of all these places make up the overall harmonious image of the wedding celebration.
Bride's bouquet
The classic version, as always, remains in trend, a classic is a classic. Delicate pastel colors, diluted with ribbons and greenery; richer colors in tandem with small buds of delicate roses are the most common options.
In addition to the classics, some new items presented will be popular in 2017. Themed weddings are becoming more and more popular, and the idea itself requires a carefully thought out image to the smallest detail. For example, for a wedding in a nautical style, specialists in wedding salons offer a bouquet of shells, and for an autumn wedding they suggest using not so much flowers as berries and fruits.
Non-standard materials for composing a wedding bouquet are in trend. Flowers made from paper, ribbons and even buttons attract attention and look very original and interesting.
Since the Pantone Color Institute declared the soft green color of lush greenery the most popular color of the year, florists, tired of variegated mixed colors, are happy to offer composition options in fashionable color. For people in the sphere of their professional interests not related to floristry, it seems that the greenery in it is represented by stems and leaves. However, there are quite a few flowers whose petals nature painted soft green - ranunculus, tulips, chrysanthemum and carnation, gladiolus, orchid, hydrangea. All these types of flowers have varieties with green petals. Juicy greenery can be diluted with white buds - the combination will be very delicate and at the same time, will not lose its relevance.
Bouquets of wild and garden flowers are at the peak of popularity - naivety and simplicity give the bride’s image that natural lightness that no rose in the world can achieve. Alas, their fragility and fragility are not designed for long-term maintenance without water, and by the end of the evening such a bouquet can look rather dull.
In contrast to this trend, there is a fashion for bouquets of exotic flowers.
The shapes of wedding bouquets themselves have also undergone changes - deliberate negligence has replaced perfectly calibrated geometric clarity, enlivening and refreshing the image of brides.
Photozone
This concept entered into wedding design not so long ago - just some 4-5 years ago, we had never heard of it. The idea came from the West, but took root surprisingly quickly. It’s not surprising - to get a photo with a guaranteed interesting and beautiful background - who wouldn’t like that! Photo zones are rarely complete without floral decoration; there is always a minimum amount, but this is not surprising. The most popular options are:
- Eco. Green, recognized as the most fashionable color, can be fully developed here. Predominant green shades, slight negligence and the absence of clear lines - this is what eco-style is in the design of a wedding hall.
- Tropic. Exotic leaves and flowers are all large and rich in bright colors. In addition to flowers and greenery, the design of the photo zone may also include fruits, of course, also exotic - bananas or pineapples, but not apples. As an option - a cage with a parrot or a terrarium with an iguana or chameleon.
- Forest fairy tale. It's simply amazing what a stunning effect can be achieved using simple compositions from natural materials, candles and several decorative elements. A properly composed photo zone will help you plunge into the alluring charm of a mysterious forest.
- Blurred watercolor. A large canvas, on which colors softly flow from one color to another, will perfectly create an atmosphere of romance and tenderness.
- Loft. Exclusively for lovers of this style - photographs against the backdrop of brickwork, a little dressed up like a garland, will completely convey the atmosphere of a loft-style wedding.
Table decoration
This year, the following can be noted as an interesting decision by designers specializing in the design of wedding halls. Since festive table Usually bursting with treats, and it can be very difficult to fit decorative elements in there, florist designers suggest placing floral arrangements above the table this season. The compositions, as if floating in the air, not only look so breathtaking, they also visually delimit and “spread” the space. Such compositions may contain not only fresh or artificial flowers, but also other decorative elements - ribbons, cones or berries, depending on the time of year.
Decoration of the ceremony area
More and more often you can get to a wedding that is held in the American style. That is, not two witnesses, but several people at once from the bride and groom, bridesmaids in identical dresses, and the ceremony itself is also not held in the registry office, but, for example, in a park or Winter Garden, or somewhere else where imagination dictates and conditions allow. In this case, the wedding ceremony area is decorated in a certain way. Since the main characters At a wedding, there is still a bride and groom, the place where they are registered should be emphasized; as a rule, an arch is used for this. The arch under which the groom waits for the bride is decorated with light, airy fabrics such as chiffon and tulle, and flowers. Flowers can be either fresh or artificial. If the celebration is held outdoors, then you need to take care of chairs for guests, which will be decorated accordingly - with covers and ribbons. Seating should be arranged in two blocks, forming a corridor along which the bride walks to the altar. If the action takes place in a small room, it is better to do without chairs, limiting yourself to the fact that the guests will stand in a certain order, leaving a passage for the young ones.
Bride and groom table
As has already been mentioned several times, not only flowers, but also other representatives can participate in the floral design of a wedding celebration flora. The decoration of the newlyweds' table was no exception. This year, it will be fashionable to have an unobtrusive and non-bulky design of the background behind the backs of the bride and groom - light fabric such as chiffon or gauze flowing in folds, delicate watercolor colors. On the table itself, one ampel-type flower arrangement along the entire length of the table is quite enough. You cannot turn a decorative element into a sloppy bush, behind which the heroes of the occasion are not visible. If a material is used as a background, and not an arch of balls, then the same material should be present in the design of the table, similarly draping the table.
Flowers are one of the main elements of all wedding decorations. They are used in the outfits of future newlyweds, in the decoration of the hall, and on the banquet table. Making good wedding floristry so that it doesn’t look kitsch, but is elegant and pleasant is a whole art. Like all fashion trends, it changes from season to season. Let's see what wedding floristry is like in 2017, fashion trends and directions:
- citrus motifs - the brightness and aroma of oranges and grapefruits interspersed in wedding arches and bouquets on the tables will add a touch of freshness
- the “Provence” style has already become one of the classics: lavender and wildflowers in compositions are perceived not so banal and washed-out,
- aroma saturation of space is a new “trick” of advanced designers; they improve mood and give tone.
- “garden and grass” style - will emphasize freedom and nature if the celebration is planned for outdoors. According to florists, it will be at the peak of popularity for a long time. Along with herbs, even ornamental grasses are used here: miscanthus, lagurus, fescue, feather grass, brisa.
- flowers in a hat box is becoming increasingly popular during the holidays. They are good as a gift for absolutely any occasion. This season has seen the fashion for arranging bouquets with tree-like flowers, peonies, roses, orchids and wildflowers,
- flowers in a basket are no less popular than flowers in a box, however, this version of the bouquet is more familiar. They can be created entirely from different types and shades. They can be both sophisticated and delicate, and bright
Whatever the design from a floristic point of view, guests will best perceive your individual idea and improvisation, and not blindly following the canons of a particular style.
How did floristic trends change?
Recently, the “rustic” style has been popular - it is floristry made from natural materials.
As a continuation of this style, a “fairy forest” appeared, which uses branches and leaves of trees. However, not only nature dominates here; crystal chandeliers, expensive fabrics, candlesticks.
Then came the fashion for asymmetry: all the decor, including flowers, was irregular in shape. Then this trend weakened, and he pulled out classic style. Nowadays, bright colors have become popular, and fresh flowers have replaced their artificial “relatives”.
The bohemian style has also returned, adding vintage and retro to the past. However, if you are planning a wedding in a bohemian style and are decorating it without decorators, do not slip into bad taste. Here you need to approach all elements of decoration very carefully.
Another popular trend in 2017 was ombre. Previously, it was only relevant in wedding dresses.
There is a variety of all trends, no matter how surprising it may be, and the rejection of floristry. This is true for weddings outside the city, as well as loft weddings. Outside the city, floristry is replaced by green garlands, potted plants, and in loft locations (abandoned industrial buildings, factories, warehouses) with various mechanisms, mirror structures, and geometric elements.
Bouquets, like all wedding decorations, should surprise with tenderness, extravagance and style. Flower designers can make a variety of bouquets to suit every taste and budget, so every bride can find a composition to her liking.
Experts working in this field advise choosing extraordinary textures where contrasting colors will predominate.
Floristic requirements
If you have already decided what flowers you want to see at your wedding, check if they meet the following floral requirements:
- they should not have a pungent odor,
- for decorating dishes, including wedding cake, it is better to use artificial flowers: the chemicals that prolong the life of real flowers can get into food,
- choose flowers with closed buds so that pollen does not stain the clothes of the newlyweds and guests,
- choose flowers according to the time of year
General trends in wedding bouquets
Also, the same trend that has long come to hairstyles is now relevant for bouquets - this is slight negligence.
Of course, in a global sense, an example of one or another wedding decoration You can only look at the photo, but when choosing a bouquet this is unlikely to be enough. It would be nice if there was an opportunity to look at the flowers themselves and their combination with your own eyes.
What flowers can you use to create a bouquet?

- roses,
- tulips,
- chrysanthemums,
- peonies,
- calla lilies

From the depths of centuries
The tradition of using flowers as room decoration dates back thousands of years. Even in Ancient Egypt, the splendor of palaces was emphasized by luxurious bouquets and compositions that were placed in original vessels - prototypes of modern vases.
However, the aesthetic function of such decoration was by no means paramount. It was based on the religious worldview of the Egyptians, who firmly believed in the divine power of certain plants. The lotus was especially revered, with the help of which people proved their loyalty to the gods and also received energy from above.
A little later, in Ancient Greece, specially trained people were involved in making flower arrangements. Their skill combined aesthetics with philosophy: for the Greeks, plants were not just part of nature - they were considered living beings endowed with intelligence. A striking example is the famous laurel wreaths, which were used to honor triumphs, athletes, and scientists. The role of flowers was no less significant in the Middle Ages. Flowers were a mandatory attribute of every religious holiday - and this tradition has not lost its relevance.
Floristry - in the modern sense - made its presence known in the 17th century. Flowers were an integral part of luxurious interiors; they were used to create a pleasant aroma in the room and were given to loved ones. A special podium was created for plants, which became the basis for the emergence of a new science - floristry. For many years, the ability to understand the language of flowers was the lot of a select few, whose purpose was to convey magical messages to everyone...
