Summer 2021: New Floral Trends to Follow
In-person events are coming back, and wedding bells are sounding, which means summer coming upon us fast.
BizBash recently released what floral designers see as trends for this summer. Here are some of their thoughts.
All About the Color
“Nigella, both in blue and white, is a summer seasonal bloom that brings a soft, billowing texture to any arrangement. These flowers are wispy and light, which can add subtle movement to an outdoor summer arrangement,” says Kacey Ziegler, Senior Event Design Manager for B Floral in New York.
“It’s all about color this summer. From punchy, vibrant corals to orange-kissed sunset hues, I think everyone is ready to brighten up their days as they step out of pandemic hibernation. During the end of spring and into early summer, my favorite cut flowers to work with are peonies, ranunculus, and lush blooming branches. During high summer, when the weather really heats up, my favorite seasonal cut branches are Smoke Bush; they are so magical. You also can’t go wrong with seasonal field blooms such as scabiosa, and tropicals are always great during the hotter months as they tend to be very resilient as they enjoy the higher temps and heavy humidity,” says Kelsea Olivia, Founder of East Olivia in New York.
Local Flowers
“We’ve had a huge increase in demand for local flowers for wedding celebrations. Clients want their flowers to reflect the season. In the summer, this means something of a wildflower look,” says Tobie Whitman, Owner of Little Acre Flowers in Washington, DC.
“As we continue to experience shortages, delays, and high prices, especially on imported flowers, I hope to use lots of colorful local blooms this summer. Wildflower inspiration is everywhere right now, and for a good reason—it’s cheery, optimistic, beautiful, and sustainable,” says Tabitha Abercrombie, owner and lead designer of Winston and Main Event and Floral Design Studio in Los Angeles.
