design can set the stage for a sophisticated scene. And for destination fetes, Gregoli sees bright oranges and pinks, “a reminder of the sunset,” she says.
As for the bouquet, you can forget carrying something obstructing. “A bouquet finishes off the bride’s look,” says Jung. “If a bride is wearing a soft, country-inspired dress and her hair is loose, the bouquet needs to be loose and flowing as well.” Gregoli agrees with the idea of keeping it simple -- so much so, in fact, that she says right now “bouquets are monochromatic and mono-botanical.” Translation: one color, one flower. Choose a bloom that’s in season - we love peonies and garden roses for a spring or summer affair - and stick with one color to keep the look sleek.
Yet, as you begin to walk the aisle of bridal style, remember that the surpassing style choice is sticking with what feels and looks good to you. Says Jung, “The couple is the one who ultimately inspires the design.” Tell a story that reflects who you are - but of course, adding a touch of a top-tier trend won’t hurt. |
