Being a wedding florist and decorator for as long as I have, I have always found it interesting to observe the trends that come and go with weddings.
The end of a year always seems to be full of predictions of what the styles and trends of the following year will be.
While I have never been one for trying to gaze into a crystal ball, what I have seen from my own clients who are getting married next year is that one trend that will remain popular from 2008 is the choice of chocolate brown as a main colour.
While the wedding flowers that come naturally in brown are far and few between, here are a few ways that this beautiful folour can be brought to the forefront:
- beautiful ribbon in satin or chiffon
- natural stones and branching
- changing tablecloths and adding chair covers
What I find exciting about this chocolate brown the large range of colours that it complements. From robins egg blue and romantic baby pink to bold choices such as kimono red and gorgeous aubergines, it is a choice of colours that exudes a modern elegance.
Of course, perhaps one of the most elegant choices of colour combinations would be to pair chocolate brown with elegant and soft ivory undertones.
