Guest Post: Rhonda Patton Weddings is a Nashville-based, event floral designer. Wedding planning for 2009 is underway! Brides are flocking to the coolest venues and consulting with the most fashionable style team {"wedding vendors"}. Learning about the season's hottest trends can make your wedding even more unforgettable. 2009 will call for an enticing mix of modern and classic designs. Brides want anything but ordinary. DRAMA…OPULENCE… ELEGANCE and CHIC will be the bridal buzz words for 2009. COUTURE WEDDING FLOWERS "Couture" {koo-toor} typically referring to high fashion design and dressmaking has now shifted into the wedding industry from couture gowns to couture flowers, the term "couture" is being widely used. Couture in the floral industry encompasses monochromatic palettes (or jarring), unexpected, unusual textures and unique shapes.

From couture flowers to bespoke bouquets, contemporary-modern will pre-empt traditional floral designs. Posh nosegays, beautiful biedermeiers and cascading will be the most requested bouquet styles in 2009. Embellished Bouquets... Bouquet wraps add glamour at hand while sparkling adornments such as rhinestones {BLING}, jewels, pearls, brooches, floral or bullion wire can take an average bouquet from lackluster to luxe. More and more brides are requesting unique bouquet wraps. {Note the unique wraps in the pictures above} WEDDING TABLESCAPING Out with contrived centerpieces and in with tablescaping - another bridal buzz word for 2009. Low centerpieces will be the top contender for 2009 weddings. Grouping of low, multi-leveled vases featuring multi-color and multi-textured flowers will dominate wedding table decor.
Traditional brides may prefer low designs for a more cozy and intimate ambiance while modern brides may prefer more dramatic designs with taller arrangements. Nevertheless, brides are requesting an overabundance of candles (floating, pillars and votives) to be incorporated creating a romantic ambiance.
