The upcoming wedding season is full of exciting wedding flower trends. When picking out the ideal flowers for your wedding day, you may want to try one of these creative combinations to have your wedding bouquet stand out in the crowd.

• Calla lilies. Once reserved for Easter celebrations or accent pieces, the calla lily is coming into the spotlight. Expect to see entire bouquets made up of these elegant flowers, or a single flower tied with ribbon for the bridesmaids’ bouquets.
• Bouquets aren’t just for flowers anymore. Some brides are adding the unique beauty of nature into their wedding bouquets and centerpieces. Long, elegant branches or summer grasses add a outdoor feel to any wedding. Flower centerpieces can use pine cones, herbs, and fruit to bring a classic warmth to the wedding reception.
• In living color. The color combinations for 2009 are dynamic and bold, and the wedding bouquet is no exception. Pick the right flowers to match your wedding theme, and the splash of color will allow your flowers to command attention. Some hot color pairings this year are lemon yellow and royal blue, eggplant and pumpkin, and coral pink with melon.
• Flower showcases. Not content to leave the flowers on the sidelines, many brides are opting to create unique and inspiring flower centerpieces. These can be of various heights, in stunning containers, or decorated with flowing ribbons.
