Bridal flower choices for 2008 are still about couples’ expressing their personal style and taste. When choosing your flowers, consider your wedding theme, attire, availability of flowers, and budget. All are key components in making your wedding day floral selections perfect.

This year, more and more brides are carrying the round, packed, hand-tied bouquets. They’re versatile and flatter most dress styles. They’re also adaptable to many flower types. When created with multi-colored flowers, it exudes a “freshly picked” look and is stunning against a white gown.

In contrast, some brides are carrying this same bouquet style with all white flowers. Regardless of your color scheme, the hand-tied bouquet adds soft elegance to the bride and bridal party.

And speaking of color, this year is quickly becoming one of rich color. Even at spring weddings, shades of orange, red, and brown are making a splash. The rose, a favorite of brides, is making the scene in show-stopping colors; rich oranges, dark burgundy, lush greens, and dark pinks. The ever-popular calla lily hasn’t lost its luster with brides, available now in more colors than ever.

Other trends include a more modern touch for bouquets; large, yellow sunflowers, bright posy bouquets, or a single lily for an understated look.

Victorian style is also making a comeback. This romantic look includes soft-colored blush roses and baby’s breath worn in the hair as well as adorning the bouquet.

These are just a few of the bridal flower looks for 2008. Whether one is right for you is your decision. Just remember to choose a style and colors that reflect your personality and theme.
