Fashionable bouquets and their variety
Monobouquets that have already become classic remain popular. They are collected from flowers of the same type: airy peonies, sophisticated roses, elegant alstroemerias, cheerful gerberas, delicate tulips, royal lilies and other plants.
But at the same time, fashion trends appeared. Bouquets decorated in delicate pastel colors have become extremely popular: white, cream, pink, peach. Absolutely different flowers can be combined: roses and daisies, peonies and gerberas, irises and eustomas. The main thing is that their shades are in the same color palette.
There is a way to decorate bouquets that is exactly the opposite of the previous one. The composition combines flowers of light and bright shades, for example: snow-white roses and fiery red gerberas with lemon carnations, lilies with multi-colored chrysanthemums, purple lavender with cream and cyclamen peonies.
Giving flowers and dessert at the same time is now quite possible. The composition with macarons is still at the peak of popularity. It is decorated in a special box, half of which is occupied by flowers inserted into an oasis (floristic sponge), and half by special cakes, the color of which should be in harmony with the palette of the bouquet. In addition to macaroons, chocolate, postcards, figurines of angels or funny plush animals are placed in the box.
The highlight of modern floristry is to skillfully emphasize the natural beauty of flowers. The plants in the bouquet should no longer be closely adjacent to each other, as before, but should be at a certain distance from each other. This gives the composition a barely noticeable negligence, but such masterpieces look very interesting.
Bouquets composed of wildflowers with a lot of greenery, as well as seasonal compositions of flowers that bloom at certain times of the year, complemented by fruits, berries, spikelets, and dried plants, have become very popular.
Bridal bouquets are increasingly made up of orchids, eustomas, lavender, gerberas, hydrangeas, and various wildflowers. The latest trend in wedding fashion is that in the center of the bouquet there is one large flower, such as a sunflower or protea, surrounded by smaller flowers such as daisies, spray roses, irises, and ranunculus.
Fashionable colors and shapes
Over the past few seasons, voluminous and luxurious bouquets have enjoyed unconditional popularity, but experts in the field of floristry note that in 2021, sweeping and spectacular compositions will be replaced by more laconic options. Already this fall, stylish small mono-bouquets, as well as small drop-shaped bouquets, are gaining popularity. The trend is likely to continue in winter.
As for color, the continuation of the idea of brevity will be the creation of monochrome compositions. The color palette will shift towards pastel shades and play on halftones, gradually retreating from boring contrasting solutions, although bright accents will remain relevant.
The most noticeable manifestation of laconicism will be the desire for naturalness and naturalness - a current trend in wedding fashion, which is confidently gaining popularity in traditional floristry.
However, it is worth noting that current trends will not be limited to monochrome and laconic compositions. Demand creates supply, and the demand for exotic, bright and original decorative elements remains quite high. There is no doubt that in 2018 we will see a lot of experiments and bold decisions both in wedding fashion and in the consumer market of fresh flowers.
Fashionable bouquets of eustoma
Eustoma (another name for lisianthus) looks like a blooming rose. The many unopened buds that this flower abounds in create volume. Bouquets are made only from these flowers of different shades and in combination with others.
An excellent addition to eustoma can be spray roses, chrysanthemums, peonies, roses and other plants. So, purple eustoma bordered with pink carnations and white alstroemeria looks very stylish.
White eustomas, alternating with snow-white roses and irises, look cheerful and at the same time mysterious. Falling green branches of sedge give the bouquet a special charm.
A bouquet in which a hat box complements a bouquet of pink and white-pink eustomas, the same peonies and sprigs of ruscus looks very elegant.
Choosing the right colors
A winter bouquet for a wedding ceremony or gift is made from flowers that are sufficiently resistant to temperature changes. It is important that the composition looks decent both in the cold and indoors. Don’t forget about a photo shoot, a romantic dinner or a walk - the bouquet simply must survive until all the events are completed. Lilies of the valley, snowdrops and cornflowers are absolutely not suitable for such purposes - they are too fragile and delicate. In 2021, dahlias, zinnias, rudbeckias and other garden flowers will be at the peak of popularity, but it is also better to postpone them until spring and summer.
Experts recommend using frost-resistant or seasonal flowers with a fairly dense structure for making winter bouquets:
- roses are a classic that is relevant all year round, regardless of the weather;
- chrysanthemums and carnations are not at all afraid of cold weather and contrasting temperatures;
- ranuculuses are an excellent winter alternative to too delicate peonies;
- anemones - from snow-white to red and dark purple;
- waxflower (chamelacium) - miniature inflorescences that will give the composition a special romantic charm;
- amaryllis is an excellent choice for creating spectacular accents;
- Daffodils and tulips are harbingers of spring and are an excellent choice for the last cold months of winter.
It is also important to note that flowers that were previously considered too simple or not expensive enough are coming back into fashion, but now, thanks to the efforts of florists, they have acquired unprecedented relevance. The secret of popularity is the development of the local flower business and the emergence of large numbers of specialized online stores, the assortment of which has become noticeably more diverse. Now more and more buyers are choosing natural, craft products, preferring handmade products rather than popular brands. Floristry keeps up with trends, and sites such as megacvet24.ru offer a large selection of designer bouquets.

Compositions from gerberas
It is simply impossible to remain indifferent to these cheerful, bright flowers, similar to large daisies. They look great both in mono bouquets and in combination with flowers such as:
- Elegant alstroemeria;
- Royal Lily;
- Openwork chrysanthemum;
- Sweet bush rose;
- Exquisite orchid, etc.
Bouquets of red gerberas with orange-red roses and green small chrysanthemums are simply stunning, and bouquets of yellow gerberas and white chrysanthemums are tender and warm.
When decorating a bride's bouquet, lighter shades of flowers are usually used. So, they combine pink gerberas, the same alstroemeria and white chrysanthemums. Volume is created by gypsophila sprigs with delicate white balls.
White gerberas framed by smaller flowers (alstroemerias, spray roses and chrysanthemums) in the same color scheme look no less elegant. The whiteness of the newlywed's outfit will be favorably emphasized by a bouquet of multi-colored gerberas with flowing sedge leaves.
Fashionable colors of 2021
Pantone named ultraviolet the main color of 2018 - Ultra Violet. It is an ethereal, cosmic purple that symbolizes originality, innovation and visionary thinking leading us into the future.
2. Grenadine Bright, spectacular, dynamic, grenadine is one of the most memorable shades of the red palette. In the coming fall and winter, you should definitely put it in both your wardrobe and makeup bag (“every self-respecting girl must have the right red lipstick!)
3. Tawny Port While grenadine is associated with pleasure and confidence, Tawny Port looks more elegant and sophisticated. This burgundy color with a rich eggplant undertone also belongs to the red family, so it looks strong even in monochrome. But if desired, it can be combined with any color from the fashionable autumn-winter palette 2017-2018.
4. Ballet Slipper (Pale Pink) Although fashion is accustomed to bright and even flashy pink, Ballet Slipper has nothing to do with glamor. A mixture of lilac, white and beige gives this delightful pale pink shade, which, along with Neutral Gray and Butterum, can be safely used as base when creating a fashionable wardrobe for autumn-winter 2017-2018
5. Butterum (Beige) Practical nude shades will never go out of style. Even when the natural trend faded a little, neutral Butterum found itself in the TOP 10 fashionable colors for the cold season.
6. Navy Peony (Sea blue, sea peony) The next autumn-winter season 2017-2018 according to Pantone should be as traditional and autumn-calm as possible. Neutral colors like this navy blue are the perfect choice for fashionistas, as Navy Peony pairs well with everything from grenadine to golden lime.
7. Neutral Gray Another win-win neutral, which is associated with stability, calmness and even some severity. Neutral Gray with a slightly dusty undertone is the Color Institute's ideal answer to the universal craving for neutrality and autumn blues.
8. Shaded Spruce Most likely, you already know that the key color of 2021 was called Greenery - the bright sunny color of greenhouses. But its unceremoniousness and dynamics are not suitable for autumn, so Shaded Spruce was introduced especially for the cold weather - a shade of calm and tranquility.
9. Golden Lime Sunny yellow and juicy green are the main colors of this spring. And their unusual mixture called “golden lime” smoothly migrated into autumn to slightly dilute the typical autumn collections.
10. Marina (Harbor) The color of the seaside harbor called Marina is perhaps one of the most anticipated shades of the coming autumn. Moderately bright, cheerful, but at the same time incredibly elegant, it will 100% dilute the basic wardrobe of neutral colors. It is most pleasant to combine this aqua color with white, gray, beige, ivory and, of course, all shades of red from grenadine to brick brown.
11. Autumn Maple (Autumn Maple) And finally, a truly autumn tone called “autumn maple”. Either dark orange or reddish-red, it will fit perfectly into any situation, giving it both a little calmness and a little holiday.
Fashionable bouquets of orchids
These sophisticated flowers are used to create a variety of compositions for any celebration. A round-shaped bouquet made up of snow-white, peach and light green orchids looks elegant. Pink-lilac chrysanthemum, white orchids with a spotted core, gypsophila balloons and fern branches - very romantic.
An example of perfection can be called cascading bouquets with orchids for the bride. Falling branches of pink and amethyst orchids are framed by snow-white and peach roses, gypsophila and emerald bergrass threads. The epitome of style is bright red alstroemeria and white orchids located above bent aspidistra leaves.
Roses are too boring
An eternal, immortal classic, which, according to many, one cannot help but like – roses. Red, white, yellow, pink and even blue or black may seem like a stereotyped and slightly trivial vision of a bouquet. Many florists believe that large pink buds have already outlived their usefulness and they should stay a little in the shade in order to return to the peak of popularity after a while. Nowadays, preference is given to artisanal buds, as well as an English variety that looks like a tea rose, as well as exotic plants.
It is worth mentioning that floral fashion is moving away from variegated flowers, giving preference to pastel ones: cream, powder, blue, light green. The more delicate the bouquet, the more organic and stylish it looks. Pay attention to the photographs of weddings this and last year: most of them are dominated by calm and modest compositions of different flowers with a minimum of decor and color differences.
