We've been meeting with many newly engaged couples over the last few weeks. January is always one of our busiest months for scheduling our summer weddings. And it is such a pleasure to spend time with our brides-to-be planning out the details for their big day.
Some of the trends we are seeing a lot of this year....
Black and white with a pop of bright color. This trend actually started a couple of years ago but it seems to be gaining in popularity. White linens with black and white damask to accent and a splash of citrus yellow, orange or lime are a current favorite although bright hot pink is coming on strong.

Purple and/or lavender. These shades seemed to fall out of favor for a few years but it appears to be making a comeback. For a garden style wedding, there are so many different types of flowers available in these shades. Add a contemporary touch of a springy lime green for contrast and your bouquets will really stand out.
Rustic-Woodsy theme. A new twist on an old favorite. Bouquets that look like they were gathered up on a walk through the woods. Soft fern curls, twiggy branches curled around bouquets of wild flowers, pine cones even. A natural fit for pacific northwest weddings but this trend seems to be spreading across the country too.
The Beau Lodge is a perennial favorite for couples who enjoy a forest setting
Rustic-farm theme. Another old favorite that has been updated for contemporary weddings. We are not seeing much in the hay bales and hoedowns any more but some details are still popular. Bouquets tucked into mason jars, raffia ribbon wrapped stems, and refurbished barn venues are crazy hot right now. Check out
Countryside Meadows in Arlington or
Tazer Valley Farm in Stanwood, they both have the perfect ambiance for a couples who prefer a rural setting.
