Wedding Trends for 2009

970480The Deseret News recently interviewed our wedding and floral designers, Emma Harris and Raelynne Johnson, about new trends in weddings for 2009. A new trend, as seen in this photo, is for couples to forego a traditional wedding cake and instead serve from a “favor” cake with small boxes of chocolates or other treats guests can take with them.

From the article:

Other ideas include using fewer flowers on table settings and instead displaying one or two flowers in a unique vase or jar.

Harris said she believes one of the top trends this season is the desire to create a romantic feeling at a reception and wedding. As a result, styles are becoming more vintage and old-fashioned, with wedding dresses that are no longer the traditional white and flower colors and linens that are more sophisticated, Johnson said.
