There are specific trends for wedding attires, styles, and even bouquets that change almost every season and, of course, every year. Let’s take a look at the hottest wedding flower ideas 2018 that will make your wedding bouquet a real masterpiece.
- Apricot colors and hues of the yellow butter
These colors are trendy for both wedding dresses and other accessories, including bouquets and other flower decorations. Of course, it doesn’t mean that you need to turn everything around you into apricot orange. It’s enough to add some accents here and there. If you make your wedding dress in such colors, though, make sure that your bouquet differs from your gown, otherwise it will get visually lost.
The flowers that can provide you with the mentioned hues are: carnations, peonies, chrysanthemums, and so on.

While some designers still insist on pastel shades for the bride’s special bouquet, other’s offer deep dramatic colors that will attract attention and add a very special mood to the wedding. These colors are deep red wine, burgundy, mahogany, and other shades of red, purple, and dark pink. It’s said, they go well together with dusty green-grey colors of other greenery that’s usually added to bouquets.
In short, the bouquet should look dramatic, slightly vintage, very mysterious, dark, and enchanting. It will look perfectly well against a gown of the same “vintage” colors: ivory, greyish white, ancient lace, and so on.

One of the most beautiful wedding bouquet trends in 2018, to our minds, is the trend of letting the flowers in your hands behave as it will. It’s okay this year if the bouquet you are holding looks like you have just picked it somewhere and still had no time to structure or trim the hanging parts. It’s okay if there’s plain grass in your bouquet or flowers of the wilderness. Naturalness is the trend this year.

Another interesting trend is choosing only local flowers and plants. This one is totally up to you: nobody knows how much you would like to have a bouquet made out of only local plants. Some brides insist on ordering flowers from abroad in order to have a bouquet that’s not like the ones of all her female friends and relatives.

One of the lovely tendencies of this year is adding as much naturalness as possible to everything. This is exactly about the bouquets that can be decorated with feathers of all types. Choose whatever you like and whatever suits the style of your wedding best of all. Maybe, it will be the feather from a peacock’s tail and maybe, it will be a bundle of chicken's tail feathers with their bright green sheen.
It’s necessary to mention that feathers of wild birds look good in bouquets of natural colors: yellowish, soft yellow-green, light browns, and so on. However, white ostrich feathers can be a great addition to a white wedding bouquet.

- Flower accessories to match the bouquet
Alternatively, the bouquet may match other flower decorations. Everything depends on what you choose. Such a principle helps to create a certain single atmosphere for the entire event. The premises are decorated similarly to the bride’s flower accessory, guests have small bouquets of the same flowers just as souvenirs, and so on.

- Alternative wedding bouquets
What does it mean? If you, for some reasons, don’t want to have fresh flowers in your wedding bouquet, you can always find alternatives. Dried flowers are at the peak of their popularity. They can be used to decorate the premises and to form the bride’s bouquet. One serious drawback of the dried flowers is their fragility but with a careful handling such a bouquet will easily last through the wedding festivities.
Another option that looks quite interesting is artificial flowers. While the todays’ means and tools allow making very true-to-life artificial flowers, some of them in your bouquet may be made out of plain newspaper sheets. It will add a funny and cute look to your bouquet.

An option for those who adore luxury and jewelry is called a “brooch bouquet”. It is usually gathered out of jewelry pieces that create a solid mass in a bouquet shape. Of course, it’s a really shiny option. However, you need to keep in mind that such bouquet can be quite heavy and very expensive.
One more option, which can be quite functional during the hot season, is a feather fan. Being quite able to replace a bouquet, such an accessory made out of luxurious feathers will decorate any bride’s look.
