HOT SUMMER STYLE TIPS...
Summer Bouquet - color, warmth, fragrance and texture, with an element of surprise. Flower choices could include garden roses, protea, orchids and tuberose or gardenia for fragrance.
What's "hot"? - Clean, modern lines. Browns and blues. Teal. Succulents, rocks, leaves. KIM ENGLAND - Fleurs du Soleil
Summer of 2007 is about color! Hot colors especially pinks, oranges and yellows are top of the list. Accent with a splash of vibrant green and the energy of summer is in full bloom. Speaking of green...it all about green. Green flowers a "blooming" favorite for the modern bride. Roses, hydrangeas, lisianthus, orchids, viburnium, anthurium, celosia carnations and chrysanthemums all in wonderful variations of natural green designed in monobotanic bouquets or creatively combined for texture and form are a favorite. CAROL CAGGIANO
Yet green is not only a color but a trend. Brides are also opting for "green" weddings asking for organically grown flowers and foliages, using recycled bottles as vases for their centerpieces and recycled papers for their invitations, etc.
