Wedding Trend for 2016: Bold Floral Elements

I have some happy news! No, I'm not getting married...yet. But my dearest friend of over 10 years, Lorace, is getting married! I'm over the moon excited for the happy couple and thrilled that she's asked me to be a bridesmaid. Clearly, I'm excited as I've already started researching trends, decor and custom wedding invites! The wedding is not for a year, but it's never too early to start planning, right?! We even tried on bridesmaid dresses this past Sunday, and by the state of frenzy inside the dress shop, I can say with utmost certainty that wedding season is in full swing!  I'm predicting bold floral patterns will play a big part in weddings this year, and since it's almost Spring, here are my top inspired ideas for an outdoor garden wedding: 

Naked Cakes are starting to gain popularity. Just look at that cascading floral arrangement - breathtaking!
