Flower trends for the season

Each season brings with it new trends. It is quite common that everyone wants to stay informed about these trends across all industries. The flower industry is no exception, and like many others, autumn brings with it some colourful changes. When sending flowers, for example, you need to make sure they are appropriate for both the occasion and the season. Even when it comes to decorating your home, the same thing happens. When shopping for a new bouquet, you can learn more about these flower trends at your local florist or online. Of course, if you plan to buy stems in bulk and create an arrangement yourself, it’s good to know what to look for.

Fashionable flowers

In the fashion industry, certain colours are associated with different seasons. The same goes for flower trends. When it comes to autumn colours, there are a number of safe choices that have remained in style for many years. As you look out the window on an autumn day, you will see the shadows that nature has to offer. These include various rusty shades of orange, brown, red, and even some dark hints of eggplant-like purple. When creating your bouquet, it’s good to select some dark tones, a touch of olive green, and even a dash of light tones like cream or beige to liven up the bouquet. Remember, when adding white flowers to a autumn bouquet, look for an off-white variety rather than perfectly white flowers.

Autumn accessories

Of all the seasons, autumn truly embraces nature when it comes to flower arranging. In addition to flowers, there are a number of accessories you can add as fillers. These include, but are not limited to, straw, grain, berries, dead branches and feathers. You can use nuts, pine cones and acorns as vase fillers. Alternatively, you can use gems or stones of the appropriate colour as vase fillers. If you prefer to avoid using clear glass vases, a terracotta or clay-coloured vase will be a great option. If you prefer, you can also hollow out a pumpkin and use it as a vase. This is one of the most popular flower trends as Halloween approaches.

Regardless of the season, it’s always a good idea to choose flowers that are in season. Not only do they tend to last longer than out-of-season flowers, but they’re also usually much cheaper because they’re readily available. During the autumn months, look for flowers such as dahlias, asters and chrysanthemums. You will most likely find other flowers such as carnations and roses available throughout the year due to their popularity. It’s not a bad idea to include a couple in your autumn bouquet to vary the colour and texture. As for foliage, look for seasonal greenery. Like flowers, foliage also blooms during different seasons. Autumn bouquets are beautiful when accompanied by the right leaves. Look for ferns and other dark foliage to complete the perfect autumn floral arrangement according to the top flower trends for this season.
