Weddings are spread all over the world and they are celebrated as diversely and uniquely as possible. Differing from culture to culture, they are an experience where love is ultimately universally celebrated. Old traditions, unique touches, individuality, and classic elements blend into every wedding on this planet. Yet, no matter how diverse weddings are, certain elements in each of them make them worldwide connected. There’s always family, friends and food, music and dancing, a special way of dressing, a good time, and, of course, flowers.
EDGE Fanzine Features Weddings
For florists and floral designers, wedding flowers are such a big part of their job, whether they offer that specific service, or not. The wedding events' florals vary from spectacular to very intimate, from classic to avant-garde, and from themed to simply a celebration. However, they all have one element in common, which is the emotional factor involved, the sum of feelings that are beyond any other, and the beauty of the ultimate human experience that occurs within a couple.
In the new edition of the EDGE fanzine, EMC designers from all over the world are presented and their work with wedding flowers. Moreover, they feature the designers from their educational EMC core team with inspirational techniques and bridal work presented with insight into EMC Elements and Principles of Design analysis. There are stories of love and celebration all through the pages of this fanzine and we hope that you will find inspiration to keep your creativity in motion.

How EMC Designers See Weddings
The design outcome can be anything from a simple centerpiece to an elaborate floral installation, and the possibilities are limited only by the designer's creativity and imagination. The first step in creating a wedding design, they teach in EMC, is to determine the desired design outcome. This could be based on the theme or style of the event, the colors or types of flowers being used, or the space and setting where the arrangement will be displayed. Once the design outcome has been established, the designer will select the appropriate flowers, foliage, and other materials to achieve the desired look and feel.
The floral design process involves a number of elements, including color, texture, shape, and form. The designer will carefully consider each of these elements when selecting and arranging the flowers, foliage, and other materials, in order to create a cohesive and visually appealing design. In addition to the aesthetic considerations, floral designers must also take into account practical considerations such as the size and weight of the arrangement, the durability of the flowers, and the ease of transport and setup. By carefully considering both the design outcome and the practical requirements of the project, floral designers can create stunning and memorable arrangements that exceed their client's expectations.
EDGE Fanzine Hopes to Inspire
Fanzine also hopes readers will be inspired by the collection of beautifully executed bridal designs by the EMC Advanced Course students and the other pieces of content that are making the reading easier, ensuring visual breaks in treading the stories behind the weddings. There's so much inspiration around when it comes to designing florals for the most special event in a couple's life. EDGE fanzine is out now and can be viewed in a digital form here.
