One of the biggest wedding trends for 2016 is greenery and minimal blooms. Both rustic and glam weddings will be incorporating fresh green foliage, from aisle decorations to table garlands. The Silver Dollar Eucalyptus is an aromatic filler with a long vase life and is a perfect filler for any wedding bouquet, table centrepiece or flower arrangement.
Something old, something new, something blush, something blue! It certainly has a ring to it. We get all the feels from Rose Quartz and Serenity—Pantone’s Colours of the Year, an ethereal pale pink and grey blue dual-hue combination. The soft, watercolour pastels lend themselves perfectly to wedding inspiration. From super-soft paper details to delicate florals, uber-feminine fashion and sugary, angelic desserts, our hearts have been set aflutter by all the imagery.

Clockwise from top: BUTTERCREAM: This cake topping is beloved for its rich and, yes, buttery flavour. Keep it in an air-conditioned or refrigerated spot to prevent softening. If it’s below 80 degrees, the frosting will hold up outside for about an hour. MERINGUE: This wispy mix of egg whites and sugar, also known as “seven-minute frosting”, can be smoothed on for a clean, glossy look or applied in peaks. For added flavour (and to help it adhere), spread on a thin layer of buttercream first. FONDANT: When draped over a lightly frosted cake, fondant offers a flawless finish. To decorate it with your monogram, just use a rubber stamp. Fondant holds up well in the heat, but don’t refrigerate it – water spots can form. POWDERED SUGAR: What could be prettier for a winter wedding than a flurry of slices dusted with snowy sugar? With its homespun appeal, this topping would also complement a simple, backyard affair.
