Summer wedding season is just around the corner. While it may not seem like summer will ever arrive, wedding planning continues, nevertheless. Here at People’s Flower Shops, we’re excited to embrace top new summer wedding trends. We hope that our wedding clients are as excited as we are.

Bold Colors – A New Summer Trend

According to Bridal Guide, Pantone, the color guru of the fashion and design world, bright color is very trendy this year. Lavender is one of those colors that work well in rustic-themed weddings.

This majestic bouquet combines lighter shades of purple with deep pink, dark purple, creamy-white, and accents of green foliage. A bouquet like this lets a bride add a touch of color without going over the top – especially if she wants to wear a more traditional type of wedding dress. The color in the bouquet can open the door for a bride who wants to be daring by wearing brightly colored shoes.

Pantone Color Called Treetop

Pantone explains that natural green color speaks to fertility and new beginnings. This lush green lets brides incorporate nature into their wedding theme or bouquets, infusing their look with a bit of rustic naturalism. The deep green looks fantastic when it contrasts with other shades of green, as it does in this sophisticated bouquet of orchids, roses, mums, Bells of Ireland, and natural greenery.

Blush – the 2015 Alternative to White

We aren’t suggesting that white or ivory are going anywhere – much less away. Those are THE traditional bridal colors, and they will always be an important option for brides who want to stick to tradition. Blush is an attractive alternative for brides who want to be different, edgy, or unique.

The Knot is showing several blush-colored dresses from different bridal gown designers. We love this new color and know that it will work with bouquets like a super elegant and sophisticated blush-colored bunch of Calla Lilies. Calla lilies are classic, but simple, and they are equally well-suited to casual or rustic weddings or very formal, white tie celebrations.

Introduce Touches of Nature

Consider something such as a whimsical infusion of bright colors and elements of nature – in the form of lemons and limes. The Knot shows unique centerpieces that combine brightly colored flowers in shades of yellow or green, in bubble bowls that are lined with slices of lemons or limes.

You could also do the same thing with oranges, and orange-colored flowers – one of the surprising new color trends for 2015. Incorporating sliced citrus into reception or cocktail hour arrangements adds a unique bit of elegance to less formal wedding receptions.
