Flower trends keep changing year after year, or season after season. Also, people’s tastes seem to alter constantly, depending on the occasion that is calling for these flowers. And since most of us who appreciate (or don’t mind giving) a unique bouquet once in a while like to stay in the know of what 2018 has in store in terms of flower trends, we had the nice folks from Forever Rose (or Bella Rose) share what flower trends lie ahead this year, in addition to the flower types, floral arrangements, and colors you’ll be seeing quite often.

2018 Flower Trends

The More the Merrier

This year you’ll be seeing a shift from soft tones to vibrant shades in all spectrums of the rainbow. In addition, there will be lots of blooms with greenery accents, versus all greenery with floral accents. Arrangements and bouquets are also leaning toward lush, eye-catching designs.

DON’T MISS: 5 Tips on Making Your Roses Last Longer

Rustic Chic

Chamomile, spray roses, craspedia, and seeded eucalyptus together in a rustic wooden box create a sense of abundance and harvest in this arrangement. This trend can be achieved by combining stems with small, plentiful blooms with lots of greenery.

Foraged Greenery

Floral arrangements are overwhelmingly being created with a natural base of greenery, but not just any greenery. The most popular looks consist of vines, branches, and textures pulled straight from the yard; so, you can now start on your little DIY project.

Marsala

Marsala isn’t going anywhere. Come fall, you’ll be seeing dark colors such as eggplant and a resurgence of Marsala, the 2015 Pantone color of the year. This will be a welcome change from the white and blush color palette used so often throughout 2017. When using a dark color palette, it is best to mix it with a contrasting color like peach, blush, and beige flowers like quicksand roses to get the most appealing visual outcome.

Copper

From fashion to flatware, copper seems to be the perfect color to incorporate throughout the floral color palette. And to keep in line with this year’s flower trends, add a touch of metallic elements to give your arrangement a unique look.
