Top Wedding Flowers 2015

1. Wedding Protea


Protea wedding flowers will be popular in 2015 with modern brides that want to make a statement. Proteas are a stunning flower named after the Greek god Proteus. They come in various sizes ranging from the larger grapefruit-sized blooms of the King Protea to the smaller protea buds that are similar to an artichoke bud in shape and texture. The pin cushion protea, or needle protea, are available in a variety of bright colors, and will also be chosen as a distinctive tropical accent in wedding bouquets and wedding floral centerpieces in 2015.

2. Wedding Succulents


Succulents are still a strong choice for brides in 2015. The range of shapes, sizes, and unique looks of succulents make them a great choice for wedding bouquets and wedding table centerpieces. Faux succulents are a good choice since they look so real, will last and last, and are easy to use to create wedding bouquets and centerpieces months ahead of the wedding date. Bouquets will wow with a mix of flowers and a few choice succulents. Modern and geometric wedding themes will be making use of succulents in wedding décor in 2015.

3. Wedding Peonies


Peonies are a consistent favorite for weddings, and this year will be no different. Soft cream and pink peonies will be perfect choices for pastel weddings. Faux Peony buds in surprising aqua, coral, purple and grey will provide a pop of luxurious color for brides creating a distinctive look for their modern, vintage, and boho wedding themes.

4. Wedding Hydrangea


This versatile flower will continue to delight brides in their 2015 weddings. Hydrangeas can be lush and romantic, lending a soft feel to vintage and rustic weddings in cream, pink, and baby blue shades. Hydrangeas will also have their place in country western weddings. They will be found in deeper shades such as deep red hydrangeas and dark blue hydrangeas. Hydrangeas will be found in DIY floral garlands, wedding bouquets, and wedding centerpieces.

Greenery will be all the rage in 2015. Brides will choose table runners, bouquets, centerpieces and hanging garlands filled with lush ferns, seeded eucalyptus, sedum, moss, and salal leaves to name a few. Bouquets will be spilling over with green leaves in a full, natural look. Table runners will be composed of greenery with flowers placed among the leaves. Centerpieces - high and low - will have beautiful greenery as a background to floral focus pieces. Some weddings will go as far as using greenery almost exclusively among wood accents for an earthy woodland look.

6. Wedding Flowers Backdrop


Floral backdrops are a beautiful trend that will gain momentum in 2015. Weddings will feature a range of options from full, lux floral walls to fun flower letters on a cloth backdrop.

Even brides who DIY their flower backdrop will find that they benefit from the ease and beauty of using faux flowers in their backdrop designs.

7. Wedding Floral Table Runners

8. Wedding Floral Crowns


Brides will be wearing floral crowns filled with green leaves and large, full blooms. This look was inspired by the boho trend, and is a fun accessory for brides, bridesmaids and flower girls in weddings. The floral crowns in 2015 will tend toward larger, full crowns with luscious blooms in pastels or bright blooms that coordinate with wedding colors.

9. Floral Wristlets and Anklets
