The Nocturne TrendYesterday, I told you about the UBA meeting I recently attended. The speaker at that meeting was Kristi Podsiadlo from Dahlia a Florist here in Greenville. She did a great presentation on color and theme trends for 2009. These trends come from The California Cut Flower Commission.
According to Kristi, the key influences of the trends will be handcrafted, wood, oversized and metallic. These influences will be found in the five top trends for the upcoming year.
They are Chinoiserie – a French term for the interpreting of the Chinese style from the 17th century. This is seen in single bloom arrangements. A simplicity of style where the beauty is in the simplicity and precision.
Nomad – bright colors with tribal handicraft influences. Designs have a woven feel with all the colors of a bazaar.
Whisper – This is the influence of hushed tones. Neutrals and texture are important. Flowers have a very unarranged feeling.
Nocturne – this is your over the top look, opulent and luxurious with a dark edge to it. Deep rich colors with dark feathers are often used. Lots of shimmer and glittery elements. It is an updated baroque style.
Habitat – this is your woodsy feel, lots of mosses, nests, vines and wood. Things found in nature. Items under glass are important in this design. It has a slightly scientific feel to it.

Which one of these trends speaks to you? Use that as a starting point in deciding on your style for your wedding.

Great info. I'll be looking for these looks in upcoming weddings. Chinoiserie is definitely me.
Great post, to me the Habitat flower trend sounds the most interesting to me.
As a bride-to-be ever since my fiance proposed to me with a gorgeous diamond engagement ring from www.idonowidont.com we would love a rustic outdoor wedding with Habitat style flowers!
It sounds romantic yet has the essence of the outdoors and chic at the same time.
