2. Ombre
What is it? The word "ombre" is French for "shaded." We love this trend because it can be used for any color scheme and is visually stunning. Don't believe us? Check out this great blog by Inspired by This here.

How to get it? It's all about fading from light to dark....so anything can become Ombre! Some great details to feature are: napkins, floral centerpieces, invitations, cake, cupcakes, tablecloths, your bridesmaid dresses, and maybe even a candy buffet!

3. Art Deco

What is it? Classic, geometric, modern, and yet glamor galore! Why not transport your guests back into the 1920s and 30s by going with an art deco inspired wedding? Here's a great featured on Ruffled Blog that will have you dying to get started...Art Deco Texas Wedding

How to get it? Geometric prints, modern vases, block print stationery, monochromatic flower arrangements contrasted by bold linens. Think about staying sharp and clean, yet throwing in some soft romantic touches.

What's The Must-Have flower for your wedding? -Part 2: Rose

 
Roses
Season: Summer :) BUT most roses you can get year-round
Price:  Moderate.  Garden Roses are higher in price.
Colors: red, white, yellow, lavender, champagne, pastels, purple, burgundy, orange, pinks, multi-colored, peach/apricot, light pink, rust, ivory, cream, deep red....the list could go on and on.
Meaning: Roses ooze love and romance, so it's no surprise that they are considered to symbolize love. Just as with the Calla Lilies, the color of the rose carries it's own significance. For example, yellow roses mean "friendship," red roses mean "true love," and so on...
Cool Fact: Some Garden Roses actually share very similar qualities with the famous Peony flower, and can often work as a substitute for Peonies. They are very delicate with a vintage flair.

Why we LOVE them: The smell! The textures! Roses are classic and can add a touch of elegance to any event!
