The Intensity of the 2023 Wedding Season: Embracing Bold Beautiful Colors
Date: 10/10/2023
As we reflect on the whirlwind that was the 2023 wedding season, it's safe to say that one word encapsulates the entire experience: intense. From April to September, Stem Floral Design had the honor of being a part of countless weddings, and what truly stood out was the unprecedented embrace of bold beautiful colors by our clients. From rich jewel tones to vibrant citrus hues, this past wedding season was all about making a statement and leaving a lasting and timeless impression.
While many still embraced the days of muted pastels and soft neutrals, in July, our clients sought to break free from tradition and infuse their weddings with energy, excitement, and personality. The choices in floral arrangements were bolder and more daring than ever before, with striking color combinations that left everyone in awe.
One of the most unforgettable trends that emerged during the 2023 wedding season was the rise of burgundy, burnt orange and gold. These colors took center stage, evoking a sense of luxury and opulence. Deep burgundy blooms, such as dahlias and ranunculus, were paired with cascading golden foliage, adding a stunning touch of warmth. The contrast between these colors created a visual feast for the eyes and set a tone of elegance throughout the celebrations.
But the boldness didn't stop there. Citrus-inspired color palettes made a splash in 2023, infusing weddings with a burst of energy and zest. Teaming vibrant oranges, yellows, and greens, these arrangements reflected the pure joy and exuberance of the couples tying the knot. Think sunflowers, dahlias, and zinnias, complemented by citrus foliage and succulents. The result? A fresh and lively ambiance that brought smiles to everyone's faces.
Looking ahead to the 2024 wedding season, we anticipate that the trend of embracing intense and vivacious colors will only grow stronger. We predict a continued shift towards unconventional color combinations that challenge the status quo and captivate the imagination. Here are a few trends we believe will shape the 2024 wedding season:
1. Muted Jewel Tones: While bold colors will continue to reign supreme, we predict a move towards more soft and muted jewel tones. Imagine dusty rose paired with deep sapphire blues, or lavender complemented by moss green. These combinations will lend a romantic and timeless feel to weddings, adding depth and sophistication to the overall aesthetic.
2. Natural Elegance: A return to nature-inspired hues is predicted for 2024. Expect to see an increase in earthy tones, such as terracotta, sage green, and dusty pink. These organic colors, coupled with a focus on sustainable floral designs, will create an atmosphere of understated elegance, allowing the true beauty of the flowers to shine.
3. Monochromatic Magic: Monochromatic color schemes will continue to be popular in the upcoming season. Couples will opt for a single hue and showcase various shades and textures within that color family. This trend allows for a cohesive and impactful aesthetic, highlighting the nuances and beauty of a singular color.
As we bid farewell to an intense and colorful 2023 wedding season, we eagerly anticipate the trends and possibilities that the 2024 season will bring. Vibrant and intense, soft and muted, or elegantly monochromatic – whatever your preference may be, Stem Floral Design will be here to bring your floral visions to life. Get ready for a season filled with awe-inspiring arrangements and unforgettable weddings that will surely leave a lasting impression.
