WOW – 2020 was one for the record books . Looking forward to this year there are a few things that seem more certain . Micro weddings and elopements will certainly become much more popular , leading to lower total event costs , with fewer people involved . Of course , all events will need to follow local health guidelines closely . You can invest more in your florals , meals , wines and more in small venue décor while hosting only your closest friends and family . Smaller can certainly mean safer and more elegant in several ways .
Floral arches are an impressive way to add an amazing touch in your event space , inside or out , and your photo opportunities are endless . Most accomplished florists have access to the arches that they can simply rent to you as part of your overall floral package . They design and assemble the entire look and then take it down . You enjoy the sumptuous beauty of your pictures for years .
Statement bouquets for brides will be asymmetric or cascading for 2021 but the classic round is back for brides who want a tighter , less flowing look . The colour palettes are at both ends of the spectrum with monochromatic beiges , cream , and latte at one end , all the way to full bright blasts of seasonal floral glory . Bright seems right for 2021 . We all need cheerful and fun .
12 Georgian Bay Wedding Guide – 2021
Classy table centerpieces become more affordable and with fewer tables to festoon so you can spend a bit more on each . Keep the centerpieces low and tight or low and loose with a more organic look . Again , bright colours can liven the mood at your small event in 2021 . Do not forget that these beauties of floral design can go home with your guests . They are made to last well beyond the wedding day .
Venue décor itself can be glammed up when you have smaller spaces to decorate . Ask about upgrading the chairs , linens , china , and glassware . Backyard and outdoor weddings can get new life with lighting , table scapes , rugs , runners , and fab florals . Those fewer people in attendance will be glad they came . Have your florist design small thank you arrangements that match your floral theme for their rooms at the local B & B or Inn . Such a nice thank you and they can take them home after your special day .
Do not forget the groom ! Who says the boutonnière must be boring ? Try succulents , a sprig of ivy or only greens . Make it a bit more organic and match it to the man with some blue thistle , twine , and some spruce .
2021 will be small and intimate but can still pack a great style punch . You can impress your guests and make memories of your day that will last for years to come . •
