Like a beautiful bud opening its petals, the newest trends in floral arrangements for 2013 are beginning to emerge. Take a look at four of the hottest looks anticipated for this year.
Eco Chic
This contemporary look features bold designs and starkly colored contrasts. Clear glass vases and containers allow organic material to be visible throughout the entirety of the arrangement. Think calla and orchids, and expect to see large, unique floral arrangements that make a big visual impact.
Heirloom
You’ll see arrangements that harken back to those fondly remembered traditions of the past, yet tinged with a modern look. Soft, muted hues, and flowers with nostalgic appeal, are expected to bring a flurry of gorgeous floral arrangements to flower shops. Look for carnations and garden roses arranged in antique colored-glass vases, or silver containers. Both make perfect accents for that special wedding.
Enchanted
Envision a fairy hamlet, graced with royal colors that offer a brilliant contrast to the greenery of nature. That’s the look you can expect this coming season. Blue hydrangea, green button pompoms, and pink callas, arranged in brightly colored glass or metallic vases, bring vibrant color to any occasion. Expect designers to incorporate a touch of whimsy, as peacock feathers and other fanciful touches add unique accents.
Bright and beautiful
The season’s floral look is all about bright colors splashed throughout whimsical arrangements. This floral look draws its inspiration from vintage country fairs and old-world carnivals. Florists achieve this spectacular effect through staging arrangements in an assortment of mix-and-match containers. Flower arrangements, filled with summertime flowers that include gerberas, roses and dahlias, add brilliant color to any special occasion.
