Floral Trends A/W 22

If you’re up early enough, even this early in February, there seems to be a slight wisp of coolness to the air. I won’t go as far to say chill, not just yet. But it’s enough to get me excited for Autumn and Winter. I’m absolutely an Autumnal lover and it’s the perfect season for weddings, parties and events. So obviously the season goes hand in hand with florals. Here is what we’re loving for the cooler seasons this year. From ivory orchids to blush roses, found foliage integrated into eco arrangements and arbours covered in tangerine hues.

Burnt

Starting with one of our favourites, ‘Burnt’ is a trend inspired by terracotta pots lining down tables with linen napkins adrift. Honey and rust hues throughout the styling blended with the soft green of olive sprigs, wild in their arrangement. This trend is about adding organic infrastructure to the setting while including florals such as tangerine coloured dahlias, dusty pink and coffee hued roses mixed with raw palm fronds. As if dusted by the Arizonan desert, the eco earth trend ties back into foraged and rustic rawness. If it was up to us, include some amber glassware for consistency and a table runner of terracotta cheesecloth or oatmeal chiffon.

Flushed Mulberry

Without darkness you wouldn’t see the stars. Sometimes you need a bit of yin and yang in your life, a bit of balance. This is where the ‘Flushed Mulberry’ trend comes into play. Made up of two key tones; dark berry and blush pink. A necessity in this bouquet is the timeless white or pink washed orchid. The hero element is an eye catching statement for an elegant arrangement, balancing the other players in this trend. The orchid is followed closely by burgundy ranunculus, cherry stained pampas and a hint of mahogany amaranth. In contrast, to balance out the deep berry hues, soft blush bourbon roses ground the heavenly pink snow pea flowers and classic China rose. To bring together these opposing palettes, branches of cherry blossom or preserved ruscus work to balance out this trend with an ‘unfinished’ edge.

Minimalist

The third trend we expect to see throughout weddings this coming season is the minimalist. Bought to us by the design trend of curved pottery and single stem vases, the minimalist trend draws attention to high quality blooms with enough force of colour and texture to hold their own within a display. This trend is as much about what you are placing the flower in; creating emphasis on ceramic aches and brass tubes. We love foliage such as white anthuriums, billy buttons or a strong signature dried fern. To build upon your table setting when using single stem arrangements, draw upon tall candle sticks to add height differences and a whimsical touch.
