Wedding Bouquet Trends In 2011

If you are searching for ideas for your wedding bouquets, you have come to the right place! For all of the current trends for 2011 wedding bouquets for brides and bridesmaids, you should be inspired. There is a lot to love about the newest bouquets, from new shapes to special accents to rising flower trends.

For years and years, it seems like the perfectly round nosegay was the only bouquet brides carried. In 2011,brides are looking for bouquets which have movement and looser forms, That trend has finally been broken. A gentle cascade bouquet is one of the top new shapes for 2011 wedding bouquets. Because of the way the flowers flow down, these cascade bouquets are sometimes referred to as waterfall bouquets. This newest design is all about a natural flow, push aside images of the overly stiff and artificial looking cascade bouqets of the 1980s. Choose a modest teardrop cascade to for bridesmaids or to carry with an A-line wedding gown. Brides who plan to wear a dramatic trumpet gown with opulent crystal bridal jewelry will be able to pull off a much larger and more lavishly cascading bouquet.

Another top wedding trend for 2011, are vintage inspired bouquets. This dovetails nicely with the larger overall love of vintage inspired wedding trends and details. These beautiful arrangements are gently flowing, with a combination of lovely colors. Peach, lavender, rose, and cream are some of the most used colors for vintage style bouquets. Special accents such as velvet ribbons, cameos pinned to the bouquet wrap, and dangling silver lockets will enhance the vintage feel of bouquets. When the bride is wearing rhinestone and crystal bridal jewelry, antique crystal brooches pinned to the bouquet wrap are a gorgeous addition. Another lovely addition to a vintage inspired bridal bouquet, are long ribbon streamers, which were very popular in the 1920s.

Rustic and natural elements are the most popular additions for 2011 wedding bouquets. The most dramatic natural elements to include are feathers. Grand white feathers or exotic peacock feathers make a wonderful addition to a bridal or bridesmaid bouquet. For the bride who loves the drama of sparkling crystal bridal jewelry, they are perfect. Rustic details are also in style this year for wedding flowers, on the oher hand. Seasonal accents like berries or pine cones are an easy way to add personality to your bouquet. For beach weddings, shells and starfish are very popular bouquet accents, whether they are wired in among the flowers or pinned to the bouquet wrap.

An interesting trend for 2011 wedding bouquets is the re-discovery of previously unfashionable flowers. You are seeing brides carry bouquets made stricktly of fluffy clouds of baby’s breath. Tightly packed round bouquets of colorful carnations are another fun option. Once just used as “filler flowers”, affordable blossoms like baby’sl breath and carnations are finally coming into their own as feature flowers. Baby’s breath has a wonderful ethereal quality and pairs beautifully with a simple chiffon gown and clear crystal bridal jewelry. Bright carnations are modern and have a great pop art character which makes them ideal for a wedding with a strong contemporary flavor.

More colorful roses are another popular trend for 2011 weddings. Brides are really appreciating bouquets which are colorful, creative, unique, and personal. Choosing a bouquet which has a lot of character and expresses your personal style, is the only real rule for wedding bouquets in 2011.
