Bold Colors

One huge trend of 2022 weddings is that many brides are opting for bold color combinations. Pastel colors are still very popular, but gone are the days of all-white weddings or all-pink weddings. Now, brides are choosing to combine grapefruit red with baby blue with peachy pink and mustard yellow. This bright array of colors can be a bit difficult to achieve if you don’t live in an area that has all of these colors in season. If so, using custom-dyed artificial flowers could be a great option for you because they’re available all year long.

Fluffy Pastels

When it comes to floral installations that might be used in your reception or wedding ceremony, most brides aim for an organic, free-flowing arrangements that look like they’ve been taken from a beautiful outdoor garden.

Dried flowers don’t have a lot of volume to them, but when they’re paired with wood flowers, it is the perfect balance of fashion and structure. Wood flowers are also popular because they’re affordable and environmentally friendly. Wood flowers can be ordered in bulk and custom dyed to match your desired colors. There are even DIY bouquet sets that you can order if you’re trying to save money by arranging your own wedding flowers. You can also order custom-made bouquets and arrangements that will be perfect for your big day.

Hand-Tied Bouquets
