Bonus: 4 Modern Wedding Floral Ideas For 2024
Abby Garden loves staying ahead of the floral trends, and these modern ideas are perfect for couples seeking a fresh take on wedding florals in 2024!
Bold Colors
Not a fan of muted tones? Bold and dynamic color combinations are trending in 2024. For example, hot pink paired with lush greenery and soft undertones creates a contrast that adds a touch of drama and sophistication. Plus, when you’re not limiting yourself to soft, muted colors, florists have access to dozens of other colors and accents they can include, allowing them to flex their creative muscles.
2. Single Ingredient Floral Trend
This trend is simple and elevated, using single-ingredient florals focusing on minimalistic, luxurious blooms. We picture a tablescape with all Anemones picked at different times during the floral life cycle to add dimension.
3. Statement Installations
We’re seeing many couples making a bold impression with statement floral installations that serve as breathtaking focal points. Think larger-than-life arches, suspended floral chandeliers, or cascading floral walls. These installations not only add drama to your space but also create unforgettable photo opportunities for you and your guests!
4. Focal Bloom Forward Designs
In the realm of floral design, focal flowers take center stage as the larger, more prominent blooms that anchor the entire arrangement. With the concept of focal bloom forward designs, the emphasis is placed on these captivating blooms, while minimizing the use of filler flowers. With less filler, each bloom stands out prominently, creating a visually impactful display that elevates the modern wedding aesthetic.
