What's Trending

What's Trending

The seasons of the year influence what is available and what is trending.  In spring we have bulb gardens with exposed roots in glass, or vases of blooming branches.  In summer we enjoy all the variety of flowers that grow in gardens--sunflowers, coneflowers, zinnia, cottage yarrow, accented with Dusty Miller, hosta leaves and ornamental grasses.  Check out Pinterest boards and you will see garden-style bouquets in the ever-popular Mason jars--especially nice if you can find the old ones at thrift stores and in auctions.  The shabby-chic look of combining burlap and lace has made its appearance even in the most elegant weddings. 




 

Succulents have been in the spotlight for the past year and are trending very strongly this summer.  They are available in so many interesting sizes and shapes, require so little care, and are used to accent bouquets in both sympathy and wedding and event work.
