From perfectly styled insta-worthy vases to grin-inducing bouquets, keeping your floral style fresh (and creating the most-on-trend displays) means keeping up with the latest flower colours and combos. Whether you’re looking to make a style statement on your socials, spruce up your home or pick the most beautiful (#trendiest) bridal blooms, we’ve got the low down on all the floral fabulousness predicted for 2023.
It’s everything you need to know!
1. Big and Bold
Say no to neutrals and goodbye to greige as vibrant, cheerful, happy hues make a style statement in the new year. 2023 anticipates bolder coloured blooms being embraced in everything from wedding flowers to ‘just because’ bouquets. Think strong orange-y reds, punchy pinks, brilliant blues and hyper saturated colour schemes that bring a delicious rainbow of floral inspo to the table, vase and aisle. Weddings will see both brighter colour choices and bigger bolder floral installations too - and why not! After the uncertainty of the recent years, weddings are back in full bloom and couples are putting their own floral stamp on everything! We can’t blooming wait!

2. Hygge Home
The Danish design trend of Hygge (pronounced hoo-ga) is here to stay. Hygge hit the home scene last year in an explosion of soft candlelight, chunky knit throws and plush pillows. We love EVERYTHING about it. Think homes with a calm natural vibe. Warm, comfortable and cosy environments full of soft textures warm lighting and plenty of plants. Gorgeous greenery is key for this vibe – especially air purifying plants like the spider plant or the Boston fern that clean the air and remove any nasties. With plants that perk up your positive energy or keep things smelling fresh like the lovely eucalyptus or lavender, adding a Hygge hug to your home is guaranteed to be all the rage!

3. DIY Delights
With the cost of living going up it’s no surprise that people are turning to DIY to add some spark and flair to their homes (without breaking the bank). Who doesn’t love the flexibility and freedom to make things just how YOU want them! This trend can also be seen making its mark on the floristry scene too. The growing demand for DIY styling kits and floral workshops is predicted to soar as everyone rolls up their sleeves to give it a go themselves. From front door wreaths to flower arranging workshops, it’s a wonderful way to flex your creativity, have fun and inject some floral fabulousness into your home.

4. Texture
Texture is totally on trend for the year ahead. Expect to see flowers cleverly contrasted with other materials like feathers, grasses and seed pods. Think interesting feels like pampas, kangaroo-paw or cotton. But it’s not only the appearance of the blooms that will add texture but also their scents! The addition of scented greenery like eucalyptus or fragrant herbs in flower arrangements and displays is set to be huge. Combined with the increasing demand for asymmetrical designs and uber creative compositions, we can expect some fantastic out-of-the-box floristry in 2023!

5. Viva Magenta
Floristry like any creative industry is always subject to the ebb and flow of colour trends. With Pantone announcing their colour for 2023 as Viva Magenta, we can expect to see some majestic merlot hues working their way in to floral designs next year. Strong and brave, Viva Magenta appeals to the growing appetite for joy and exuberant colour post pandemic but also captures a spirit rooted in nature, a real energy for life. Expect the rise of deep red and vibrant pink flowers in floral designs, wedding bouquets and large-scale event installations.
We can’t wait to see what 2023 brings! With bright bolder colour choices and plant positivity in abundance, the floral forecast for the year ahead looks blooming lovely! We’re ready to embrace it!
