“Although colorful flowers are becoming more popular, monochromatic flowers in shades of white, blush or champagne are timeless. You can appeal to your trendy side while keeping the classic feel by using neutral, monochromatic flowers in unique arrangements, such as hanging garlands, floral chandeliers or floral jewelry.”

“Use display items to mix timeless looks with on-trend elements. In this example, loose greenery and seasonal field-grown flowers give the arrangement a very classic look that one would expect to see displayed on a candelabra or in a curvy glass vase. For a more unique, modern feel, we displayed it using a sleek, sophisticated gold stand.”

“Large, lush, overflowing bouquets and arrangements are super hot right now, as well as those with mostly greenery. While I love this look, someday that trend will cool. But if you keep from going to the extreme in size and scale, your flowers won’t look dated—lush and beautiful never goes out of style.”
