From colour palettes to themes and styles, it&#8217;s so much fun to see what&#8217;s hot right now. And when it comes to flowers, we adore looking at seasonal favourites and trending blooms. So we picked up some advice from Sarah Loughrey-Jennings, Creative Director at Hiding in the City Flowers. Here&#8217;s what she had to say about following floral trends.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\">Should couples follow trends when it comes to choosing wedding flowers?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Yes is the simple answer! I absolutely love creating on-trend designs and it\u2019s what Hiding in the City Flowers is all about. I believe that people always have, and always will be, led by trends. The powerhouse that is <em>Vogue<\/em> is still going all these years later precisely because people (of all cultures, nationalities and faiths) love keeping up to date with current fashions and emerging styles. From watching celebrities on a catwalk to clocking the new terrarium hanging in your neighbour\u2019s conservatory, we are constantly receptive to the changing fashions in the world around us. This sub-conscious process of being influenced by what\u2019s \u2018in vogue\u2019 is no different while you\u2019re planning your wedding \u2013 you\u2019ll come across (and be swayed by) a truck-load of different trends, themes and ideas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179634\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179634\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-179634\" title=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605.jpg\" alt=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" width=\"900\" height=\"1348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605-500x749.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605-355x532.jpg 355w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605-900x1348.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179634\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-179634\" title=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605.jpg\" alt=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" width=\"900\" height=\"1348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605-500x749.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605-355x532.jpg 355w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/AR-605-900x1348.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript> Image: A + R<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Now we\u2019ve established that it\u2019s pretty much a given that you\u2019ll be tempted by a trend or two, I have to convince you why you should succumb to those fashion urges. Your wedding day, the most important day of your life, is essentially an expression of who you are as a person and who you both are together as a couple. Do you want your florals to say \u201cwe\u2019re pretty average\u2026 nothing special?\u201d \u2013 yeah, I thought not! Please, I beg, don\u2019t settle for run of the mill flowers with no personality or flare on the biggest day of your life. Have some fun and experiment with the looks you like from magazines, blogs and Pinterest. By taking inspiration from all sorts of current fashions and styles around you, you\u2019ll actually create your own unique style \u2013 a blend of all of the trends you love.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179637\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179637\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-179637\" title=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148.jpg\" alt=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148.jpg 3600w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148-798x532.jpg 798w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179637\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-179637\" title=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148.jpg\" alt=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148.jpg 3600w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148-798x532.jpg 798w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/DaisyJohnny-4148-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript> Image: Daisy &amp; Johnny<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Over the years we\u2019ve seen the emergence of themed weddings, less than 20 years ago, a wedding theme only stretched as far as a colour scheme and a touch of ribbon. Now you can have everything from Hawaiian luau extravaganza, right through to a whimsical fairy garden themed day. If the rest of your wedding is going to be bursting at the seams with personality, I think it\u2019s really important for your flowers not to let you down. The power of florals is incredible and displayed correctly they can bring a whole room to life \u2013 so for me, missing the opportunity to go to town with trends with your flowers would be a real shame.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179636\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179636\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-179636\" title=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter.jpg\" alt=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" width=\"900\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter.jpg 1111w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter-355x532.jpg 355w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter-900x1350.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179636\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-179636\" title=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter.jpg\" alt=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" width=\"900\" height=\"1350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter.jpg 1111w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter-355x532.jpg 355w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Tulips-anemone-roses-grasses-tulips_photo-credit-Alessio-Paratore-photographer.alessioparatore.com_white-cube-filter-900x1350.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript> Image: Alessio Paratore<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;I make no qualms in saying that weddings are an expensive business and flowers are no exception. Flowers are considered luxury items and with that status, comes a price tag (sorry in advance to the wedding budget spreadsheet!). However, you\u2019re probably going to pay the same sort of price for a typical, standardised bouquet from a big brand florist as you will for a playful, imaginative one designed by us. The decision sounds like a no-brainer, right? If you\u2019re going to spend all of that money, it may as well be on flowers that you can be proud of, your guests will be bowled over by and most importantly, ones that look darn good on Instagram!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-179638\" title=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904.jpg\" alt=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904.jpg 949w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-532x532.jpg 532w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-900x900.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-179638\" title=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904.jpg\" alt=\"Hiding in the City Flowers\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904.jpg 949w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-532x532.jpg 532w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-900x900.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/JW0_7904-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;As well as following trends, for your sake \u2013 to make a statement and have some fun with your florals \u2013 think about following trends for my sake too!
