As in any sphere of life, in floristics there are fashion trends that reflect the spirit of the time. The variety of composition, colour combinations and forms does not suffer, but only wins. Today, a beautiful original bouquet can be chosen according to budget and taste preferences – elegantly modest or pathos-chic. The main thing is to follow the laws of harmony and fashion trends. The best florist in Mauritius, DodoMarket, is here to help.
What flowers are in trend today?
The hit of the season is a gentle pastel: a combination of white and pink flowers in a bouquet. Peony-shaped roses in combination with delicate pink or caramel anemones as well as meadow and wildflowers are very interesting to arrange. However, remember that classics remain in fashion at all times, regardless of trends.
The second current trend is the construction of contrasting compositions. The ideal combination is white with all shades of red. In this case, imagine black roses in a white hat box tied with a scarlet ribbon, or white roses in a black box tied with an emerald or cornflower ribbon.
The actual design of bouquets of flowers
An undoubted season’s trend is light carelessness in design. Arrangements no longer look perfectly cardboard. Now they look alive and natural. Buds can be slightly bent and look in different directions. Not only branches of decorative greenery go up, but also flowers chosen by the florist as accent flowers.
In the past season it was fashionable to give flowers without wrappings, neatly tied with a ribbon, twine or decorative vine. Today, there’s more scope for imagination. The most popular variants of decoration are considered:
Kraft paper. It is “European” variant for people with refined taste who prefer tempered decor without excesses. Kraft paper decoration is not only stylish but also eco-friendly. By using recycled materials, we conserve the natural resources of the planet and care for the environment. Besides, Kraft paper comes in many different shades and looks very noble. French call such design options “comme il faut”.
Cardboard boxes are an ideal choice for romantic and festive bouquets. Roses, peonies, orchids, gerberas, irises, small shrub chrysanthemums and carnations look beautiful in them. Round hat boxes, rectangular boxes with a lid and high rims and open boxes with low rims in the shape of a heart are the most common. The latter variant is ideal for a gift for your mother or sweetheart. The main advantage of arrangement in a box is the possibility to put chocolates, multicoloured macaroons, berries and small exotic fruits together with flowers.
Baskets are mainly used to decorate lush bouquets and floral and fruit arrangements. Tulips, chrysanthemums, gerberas, sunflowers and all kinds of wildflowers can look beautiful in them. A severe laconic composition of burgundy roses with elongated glasses is a win-win variant for a man’s gift, as well as for presenting to guests at official ceremonial events.
