What can we expect in 2018? The ever-evolving world of technology, climate change, and the current political situation has made us realize that we need to adjust our frames of reference. And as a result, we are innovating and ‘radically reframing’ existing solutions. That said, in the world of flowers and plants, the social trends towards a radical reframing are being expressed in three floral style trends. These are the quest for fresh color, equilibrium (using unusual materials), and the new rules of the game when mixing florals.

In order to get a clear understanding of the changes in floral style trends, we have examined the anticipated changes in customers’ needs, which I have listed below.

2018 Floral Style Trends

Apricot Orange & Butter Yellow

Get ready for a surge of yellow and orange flowers being used in all types of arrangements. From whimsical summertime bouquets to minimalist fall centerpieces, there is a quest for fresh new colors. Specifically, we’re expecting to see flowers that showcase the softer side of these bright sunshine colors. If you love blush or salmon pink, try “apricot orange” instead — it’s a peachy hue that feels like a pastel but also packs a punch. “Butter yellow” is inviting and unexpected, not to mention that it’s like a dose of instant happiness for your decor. Peonies, Icelandic poppies, Juliet roses, chrysanthemums, carnations, and ranunculus are some of our faves for this color combination.

Moss Details

There is a new equilibrium and we’re calling it “moss is the new greenery”. A bold statement, we know, but we’re expecting to see moss replace the lush and fluffy greenery leaves that we’ve seen everywhere in the last few years. We love moss because it brings a certain fairytale element to your flowers, and you can use it in almost every way that you might use typical greenery (and then some!). For a simpler look, use a moss as a runner down the center of a long banquet table.

Moody Hues

See you later, pastels and neutrals, the rules of the game have changed. One of the 2018 floral style trends that we’re most excited about is the return of color. Pantone’s color of the year for 2018 is UltraViolet, so naturally, we’re expecting to see a lot of flowers in deep purple tones, like burgundy and plum. We especially love how these darker colors look when paired with abundant greenery and nature-inspired accents, like succulents, pampas grass, curly willow, and even feathers. Add flowers in lighter purple and pink shades, such as mauve and nostalgia rose, to create an arrangement that feels dramatic, edgy and a little bit mysterious.
