As 2013 has come to a close, the new year is sure to be full of newly engaged couples, planning their dream weddings! Brides will be coming to you with tons of flower ideas, some of which may include some untraditional and creative color schemes.

Currently trending in wedding flowers are subtle, neutral tones, gray being the most popular. Gray is a wonderful neutral shade for designing elegant and sophisticated wedding flowers with a modern twist. Today, many brides are envisioning gray, but don’t know of all the floral possibilities. It is so easy to add a gray accent to any bouquet, boutonniere, centerpiece, etc. The most sought after gray blooms include dusty miller, brunia berry, silver English lavender, eucalyptus, seeded eucalyptus, thistle, and succulents. Even white anemones with a light black center allow for a delicate pop of gray. The best thing about the gray floral trend, is that it can be done all year round with a number of wedding themes. For a winter wedding, brunia is ideal. These festive gray berries compliment all colors and types of flowers. Pair these with white anemones and roses, holiday greenery and accents like pine cones and cotton for texture.

How about a garden chic style wedding in the spring? Add eucalyptus and silver English lavender to peach garden roses, pink ranunculus, lavender freesia, wax flower, and queen anne’s lace for a sweet, “picked from the garden look.”

guests, recommend different purple orchids, fuchsia or hot pink mini calla lilies, and gray succulents for a bouquet with a wow factor!  Yellow and gray flowers are prefect for a edgy, modern wedding. A vibrant yellow
bouquet of ranunculus, freesia, and roses looks fabulous with gray tones of brunia and dusty miller.

You can also be incorporate yellow and gray into a more simple, rustic wedding. Think about creating a country bouquet of sunflowers, monte casino daisies, craspedia, thistle and seeded eucalyptus.
