Trending...tropicals

Blame it on my recent booking of our family's Hawaiian summer vacation or the incredible images of tropical bridal bouquets I see popping up on Instagram or maybe I'm just sick of winter, whatever the cause, I can't get enough of orchids and ginger lilies and the juicy oranges, reds, and greens of tropical flora. In the same way that succulents and cactus have been trending the past few years, I think we're soon to see tropicals emerging as the next big thing in floral design. Tropical flowers lend themselves to beach weddings, island destination weddings, and subtropical settings here on the mainland. The  amazing bouquet above was created by a German team! Love it!
