Floral Trends for 2017

Dahlias
These flowers are always in high demand, but we expect to see them take over weddings in late summer and fall. No matter what color you choose, they will be the trending flower for bouquets, table arrangments, and more.

Old-Fashioned Flowers
While many florists in the past steered away from common varieties like zinnias, carnations, or mums - many heirloom varieties will be extremely popular this year. As brides are getting in touch with their vintage side, these old-fashioned favorites will be blooming in many ceremonies.


Muted Tones
Subdued tones are going to be in high demand this year, as colors like dusty rose, milky coffee, champagne, buttercream, and apricot are more involved in the wedding palette. How many of our brides will be using these colors on their big day?

Red Wine
While this *could* give you an excuse to include more wine at your wedding, we're actually talking about the color. These deep red tones are hitting the wedding runway, as well as other bold jewel tones.

Your Colorado Springs Wedding

Mountain weddings are filled with romance and beautiful views - and while we feature many floral accents outdoors through the natural beautify, adding florals indoors is still important.  As you make plans for your wedding, take some time today to think about your floral designs and what you would like to accomplish during your big day. If you have any questions about how your decorations and florals arrangements will look in our Colorado Springs venue, we would love to invite you to our Bridal Open House. You can walk through our venue, try out some of your decorations, and meet some of our amazing vendors! Call our venue at 719-357-8613 to learn when the next event is.
