2011 Trend Watch

Merci New York has been recapping their recent Wedding Event which included some amazing trends for 2011! Here are just a few of my personal favorites...

1. Cakes dripping with stunning sugar flowers!

The key to keeping this look updated for the new year, is to make sure your flowers are each unique and made by hand. Gone are the days of perfectly identical flowers. You want them to look natural, and to make that happen, they must each be different. 

2. Dessert bars overflowing with delicious sugary confections...

The key to updating the dessert bar is to choose this over a wedding cake. Go all out with it!

3. Bright blooms


Don't be afraid of color! Mix and match, and use them in a beautifully modern way.

4. Use natural elements in your floral designs...
Succulents add a beautiful touch to the place settings
Oranges cascading across the table really make the few orange flowers pop! And the white containers keep it utterly modern.
To use fruit & naturals in a modern way this year, place them on the tabletop itself rather than as filler in the floral containers. It gives your table the look of a farmers market!

For more inspiration for your 2011 wedding, head on over to Merci.
