2014 Wedding Trends … A Florist Perspective

Knoxville Florist Opinion on What's Hot for 2014

West Knoxville Florist Lisa Foster Floral Design has been a hustle and a bustle of wedding consultations lately. Usually about this time every year we see what is trending in the wedding world for the year. Last year 2013 it was coral, blush and some more coral. Though the popularity of coral is still strong more girls seem to be leaning toward softer blushes, pinks, ivory and MINT! 

Mint is such a lovely color, it's soothing and fresh. The color mint looks great with pinks, blues and ivory. 

The most popular bridesmaid dress color for 2014 has to be Navy Blue. Navy blue has been a trending color for a few years now. Never have we seen as many Knoxville brides choose the color navy blue for their bridesmaids dresses as we have this year. Navy… it's the new black! 

Navy blue bridesmaids dresses are a GREAT backdrop for all sorts of colors. Pinks, lavenders, whites and ivory, green, red… really any color looks great paired up with navy blue. 

Now that we've covered the dress color lets talk about the flowers again (I mean, we are florists after all). It seems  most girls this year are still loving the soft romantic feel. Nothing says romance like soft pink and ivory. It's just gorgeous and gives a timeless feeling that will last for years and years to come. Here are some recent blush, ivory, pink bouquets and arrangements that are just swoonerific!

Wedding Rentals

Taking Rental Items To The Next Level

Jazzing Up Rentals - Examples And Ideas

Why settle for plain Jane rental items when there are a million ways to take them over the top. Rentals are a great way to add WOW without spending a ton of extra money. For those who want to bump it up a notch adding flowers to candelabras or even spot lighting our crystal trees can take any rental to the next level! This year we have had the chance to do some amazing weddings with breath taking receptions. Check out some of our photos below! Ogle Entertainment is wonderful at pin spotting our crystal trees which really shows them off! Jim Ogle can change any room with his lighting techniques!  

Many times a floral arrangement that would be the size of a crystal tree or a table top candelabra would be in the $300 range but adding a crystal tree or candelabra to the mix would drop that cost. Still giving a room visual height without spending a ton of money. We always recommend to mix up centerpieces and have some tall and some short. The rule of thumb is either see over an arrangement or through it. Why is this? Well, it's hard to carry on a conversation with flowers in your face.... unless you don't want your guests to talk to each other! 

Clients aren't just limited to what rentals we have in stock. If someone has vases, candelabras or plans to rent something from another vendor and wants to have the LFFD team add flowers to it we can do whatever is needed to get the job done and make the event as beautiful as possible.
