Tuesday’s Trends: Honeysuckle Takes All!

Now that it is officially summer, it is time to break out the dynamic color schemes for any occasion happening this season.

A trend we are seeing is an increased use of bright, bold, non-traditional colors, emerging in bridesmaids’ dresses, flowers, and the even the décor at your event. Like the photograph shown, brides are combining exciting shades of pinks, reds, and greens and creating their own individual signature syles. One particular color that is popping up everywhere is Honeysuckle and was even named Pantone Color Institute’s 2011 Color of the Year.

A dynamic reddish pink, Honeysuckle is encouraging and uplifting. “In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going – perfect to ward off the blues,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Honeysuckle derives its positive qualities from a powerful bond to its mother color red, the most physical, viscerally alive shade in the spectrum.”

The Royal Wedding Lives On! Kudos to Kate!

Looking to have a "legendary" wedding?  According to A Legendary Event's Director of Floral Jeanna Graham, Kate Middleton’s bouquet has ignited a trend amongst our brides. Her much talked-about bouquet included locally grown flowers such as Lily-of-the-Valley, Hyacinth, Sweet William, and Myrtle. Since the wedding, Lily of the Valley has increased its popularity and we enjoy integrating it in many bouquets, flower arrangements, and centerpieces. Brides are inspired by the style of Kate’s bouquet including these understated flowers which add an elegant touch to their weddings.

While many brides choose their flowers primarily based on color, Kate Middleton has revived the Elizabethan era tradition of selecting flowers based on symbolism and legendary meanings. Symbolically speaking, Lily of the Valley signifies sweetness, humility, and returning happiness.

The language of flowers is one we take to heart and each of our weddings should be memorable. When we roll out the red carpet, we think Lily of the Valley as a wonderful choice for the perfect fairytale ending. These flowers are a combination of grace and nobility and can make any wedding legendary.
