Floral Design Trends

A cutting edge floral arrangement can be the perfect finishing touch; other times it demands to be the main attraction.  The inspiration for this post on trends in floral design came from the breathtaking floral display at the George V in Paris.  While the images don’t begin to paint the picture of how amazing this floating purple blanket actually is, it certainly gives you a glimpse of the impact a flower can bring.

The floral trends this year according to the Floral Trend Forecast by the International Floral Distributors Association are broken down into four groups, Confetti, Grand Lodge, Revival and Aqua Culture.  Each category is broken down by pantone color and a general list of recommended flowers.  In this post we will share the different trend ideas by category.  We will start with the light and bright Confetti group.  This group includes fun, bright color with pop like Tangerine, Sunshine Yellow, Fuchsia, and Bright Green.  These inspiring flowers include Green Trick Dianthus, Pincushions, Zinnias and Gerber’s among others.

The Grand Lodge category is dear to our hearts with its earthy organic vibe.  Floral design artists are combining the following flowers with natural and rustic materials such as wood, metal and glass for optimum impact.  The colors are cream, stone, moss green, chestnut and blue-greys that are present in flowers such as white and green hydrangeas, white sweet peas, poppy pods, Dahlias, Anemone, Uhule fern tips and Hypericum.

Glamour and beauty are expressed through Art Deco design in the Revival category.  The colors in this palette reflect the A list trends we love right now, blush, mint, black, and gold.   Flowers include Calla Lilies, White Tulips, Pink Peony, Cymbidium Orchids and Istilbe.  Artists are mixing feathers, metal containers and even beads to add to the natural romanticism of these classic beauties.

Circling back to the George V and those unforgettable purple Hydrangeas that are part of the Aqua Collection category that reflects the deep blue, indigos, and purples found mostly in rare and unique flowers.  Orchids, Delphinium, Succulents, and Tillandsia are part of this captivating collection.  Floral designers are using textured ceramics and bubble shaped containers with a more organic feel.

Floral Design trends changes as quickly as any other design trends, so the best bet is to choose the flowers you love that compliment your space.  Try using only one type of flower for a clean, modern look; or mix many multiple flowers in monochromatic colors to give a soft romantic look.  Flowers will bring life and a happy feeling into your home whatever you choose.  Keep checking back for the 2015 trend forecast that will be coming soon.
