Style & Trends: How to Choose a Stylish Floral Bouquet
Many factors come in to play when choosing a bouquet: The time of year, time of day, the recipient's favorite flowers, colors, size, budget, and personality. Today we have a global market for flowers and, combined with the talent of your floral designer, almost anything is possible. Flowers follow trends just like anything else but there are certain characteristics of floral design that dictate their popularity.
Succulents
Sometimes it's the actual floral material that drives the trend. Succulents have been so popular, a welcomed addition to any floral design, but especially strong in arrangements. They come in a variety of colors and sizes and it's not difficult to find a pleasing combination.

Color
Color is also a driver of style and trend. A soft blush tone of 'Quicksand' roses in a cascading bouquet is a favorite with a lime green, like in amaranthus. The green contrasts nicely with the blush, giving it life and a dramatic quality without losing the softness and romance of the blush color. Making the right color choices is often one of the most important decisions in choosing a bouquet, probably because it is the most visual element.
Bespoke Design
Certain floral designs go in and out of style. For many years a dense, compact arrangement was the favorite. Now, there is strong interest in using more foliage to create a looser "overgrown" look. Also, called "bespoke' design, the look is reminiscent of an English cottage garden.
Texture has also risen to the top of the most wanted elements, so you will see succulents, curly willow, wheat, protea and even feathers added to arrangements to add that extra pop. Unexpected combinations create interest and certainly that "one of a kind' look.

Bespoke Garden Style Floral Design
When a trend in design becomes as
pervasive as this popular design it becomes a style. The Bespoke Garden Style
is custom made and one-of-a-kind. The look is wild, extravagant and “just
gathered from the garden”. The mechanics are based on armatures allowing a more
loosely constructed design with draping foliage and a wider and more exotic
range of flowers. Follow along as Leanne Kessler from The Floral Design Institute demonstrates how to make a beautiful Bespoke Garden Style Floral Design...
