Pattern and prints are huge this year, giving our men a chance to experiment with a different style, and stand out amongst the guests. Look out for 3D-effect and floral motifs.   Bridesmaids It’s good news for all bridesmaids out there, mix and match is a key style in 2017 with different colours and styles to suit each individual.     Flowers 2017 is seeing a big rise in the use of orchids and succulents.
