The wedding trends for 2015 can be described in two words – outdoor weddings. Although you may be quick to assume that an outdoor wedding is nothing more than an informal event where none of the traditional elements of a classic wedding are possible in an outdoor wedding, think again. You can count on our floral designers here at Rose Hill Flowers to take your vision and turn it into the wedding of your dreams. We are experts in the art of expression.
Eclectic Elegance as Inspiration for the Theme
Eclectic elegance is the term we use to describe a wedding that takes many of the elements of a traditional formal wedding, but transforms them into something that works in an outdoor setting. This trend is perfect for couples who like the warmth, intimacy, and romantic feeling of a twilight wedding, but still want the formal elements that include everything from elegant floral centerpieces and gigantic candelabras, formal table linens, fancy lighting, and even butler service.
Flowers for a formal wedding like this might include roses, Calla lilies, hydrangeas, orchids, or even peonies. The flower colors will coordinate with the colors of the wedding, including what the bridesmaids wear, what the groom and groomsmen wear, and the colors used in the linens, for the lighting, and other décor.
Weddings Inspired by the Wild West
It seems ironic that the hottest trend for 2015 outdoor weddings would be one that Jenna Bush Hager chose as the theme for her 2008 wedding to Henry Hager at her father’s 1600-acre Crawford, Texas ranch. The idea of using the Wild West for inspiration is simple. It draws on things that are simple, rustic, and very much in harmony with nature. A wedding that embraces the Wild West theme needs the right type of venue. Think of a ranch, or a country cabin where natural wood, leather, animal hide rugs, and animal head trophies or antler chandeliers are part of the décor. An outdoor covered area that looks out on open fields where wildflowers and grazing animals are visible is perfect.
This theme is ideal for couples who want to have a more intimate, but a less formal wedding. Wildflowers, candles in mason jars, are ideal accents for a long wooden table that is flanked by benches where guests sit. Wedding bouquets should use seasonal flowers that look like they were just gathered in a nearby field.
No matter how you envision your outdoor wedding, we want to help you transform that vision into a reality the likes of which you never dreamed.
