Current wedding floral designs are trending towards natural and deconstructed form. Although traditional styles and shapes will continue to hold mass appeal, brides and grooms who want to be on the cutting edge of modern chic are opting for a natural and free flowing style.

Look no further than the architectural marvel of a flower called Veronica to add just the right accent to your floral creations. Its spiky shape is what gives it a key role to play in new age designs. Veronica grows on stalks containing numerous tiny, star-shaped blooms in colors of pink, purple, red and white and their narrow leaves are lance- shaped. Out in nature, they are often found planted in sunny rock gardens and along border beds and foundations of many Taos areas.

Sustainability is an important factor for today’s modern couple who seek to include eco-friendly features into their special occasion. Natural oversized bouquets are de rigueur made in subdued dark palettes of deep plum and burgundy. In addition to Veronica, other unique floral accents to consider include sedum, thistle, fiddlehead fern and succulents. A stand out wildflower garden bouquet might include white garden roses, blue eryngium, thistle, veronica, green parrot tulips and dianthus. Large sprigs of veronica can rise majestically above the level of the other flowers to add interest and visual appeal.

Veronica creates a fairy tale effect in candlelit settings with its whimsical demeanor. The spears can be positioned upright or they can lie over, draping out of an urn, for example. For beautiful autumn bouquets combine sunflowers, orange and yellow zinnia with white veronica and add wheat stalks. Consider placing that same arrangement in sleek copper and bronze vases for centerpieces. For a more traditional approach, veronica can add pointed texture to mixes of gerbera daisies, calla lilies, roses and peonies.

Striking veronica adds size, shape and texture to all types of floral arrangements. Another new trend of late is using denim for wedding decor and veronica in shades of purplish blue and white makes the perfect pairing due to its vintage lacy look. Think out of the box when it comes to creating your own uniquely modern style and make veronica the floral choice to stand out from among the crowd in 2020.
