Trendspotting for 2013: Vintage-Style Flowers

April 22nd, 2013 by Stephanie

If you keep up with wedding blogs like we do here at West Manor, you already know that one of those commonly predicted trends for 2013 is ‘the re-emergence of glamour,’ or ’1920′s elegance,’ and with those fantastic themes follows beautiful, loose, vintage-style flowers! While more modern-style bouquets have stayed at the forefront for the past several years, vintage-style bouquets bring a lush, romantic, and organic feel that simply can’t be rivaled by the tighter, more geometric arrangements of past years. These types of arrangements and bouquets are especially beautiful in the late spring and summer months, when florists can source beautiful local flowers from area growers. Here’s a beautiful picture from Allegra’s Studio from a 1920′s themed styled photo shoot held here at West Manor last year, featuring some truly incredible flowers by The Arrangement Company – it takes this vintage-style theme to the extreme, but turned out so beautifully!

Here are a few more examples of this style from local floral designers, to get your creative wheels turning:

In February, we had the joy of seeing Alysson and Patrick tie the knot – they not only had a beautiful day, but also two photographers (one was the very talented mother of the bride) capturing every moment! Here are some of the images, from Yvonne Sanders Photography and Emilee Chambers Photography. Congratulations Alysson and Pat!
