Editor’s Note: We asked Alexa, owner of Fiore Blossoms and writer of Fiore Fresco, to share a little bit of her expertise. We hope you enjoy her post on floral trends. Enjoy! A.
I was so flattered that the girls asked me to do a little guest post about trends in flowers right now. I’m so honored to be a part of Elizabeth Anne Designs today! This is fun. And so…on with the flowers!
Following the local food movement, many brides are looking to support local growers and use sustainable, seasonal crops. This is my very favorite trend (though I hope it really isn’t a trend and is here to stay!) of the moment. It also means that flowers are going regional. Here in the northwest, it means more local hydrangea, garden roses (which are really so much more gorgeous and fragrant anyway), dahlias, and lilies. Check out your local farmer’s market to see what local crops are grown near you, and then let your florist know that you’d like to at least incorporate some of these flowers.
