Top 2020 Floral Colours

Experts weigh in on 2020 floral colours and trends

Tyler Speier says...

While I love a classic neutral palette (and these will always be timeless and popular), I think we are going to see much more vibrant color palettes at weddings. Couples are bringing in lots of colors into their florals, from rainbow palettes to sunset palettes, the more color, the better!

Ashley Greer of Atelier Ashley Flowers says...

We will continue to see peach and burgundy tones with a move towards fuchsia and berry hues. Lavender will also come full circle and will be featured prominently in spring and fall designs. Color use, in general, will make a significant change as designers are distinguishing themselves as "Color Masters." Which means they will work with 6 - 7 tones to evoke a mood or feeling rather than just 1 to 2 colors.

We?ve been working with wine and burgundy recently, but beautiful, classic red is making a comeback. The combination of all of these hues together makes for a marbled, exquisite pairing that piles on the drama!

Dee McMeeking says...

Goodbye pink and monochrome palettes. Hello to complimentary colour palettes mixed with analogous colour palettes. One that we expect to see more of is apricot tones through orange matched with deep saturated moody blues through aubergine.

When it comes to colors we will see a move towards more muted color palettes that include beige, clay pink, green-gold, deep forest green and a hint of grey.

We will also see the use of gradient floral arrangements and bouquets with varying shades of one primary color- such as red fading into pale pink, or pale lavender to orchid and then a deep plum.

Emerging trends for 2020

I think the most significant trend that will arise concerning flowers will not have to do with design. As the company Repeat Roses ramps up their social media presence, more and more couples will be looking to have their flowers donated after their weddings. The combination of publicity, tax deduction, economic status indicator and instagrammable content generated will make it a real influence and hopefully have other companies across the country sprouting up to service this need. One other trend that is on the rise is Urban Camo Foliage. This is a craft of hand-painting flowers and greenery in bold colors that still follow the form and essence of the natural material. Then single leaves or the flowers are used more like a piece of painted sculpture to create otherworldly environments. This practice is steadily increasing and will be one to watch in 2020.

The time for long, daring bridal bouquets is here; cascades are back! Bridal cascades and cressets are emerging, although the free-form style of bouquets has been in for quite a few years. Florists have begun to get creative with the mechanics of this sort of styling, using draping greenery and accent flowers to elevate what will be showcased during the ceremony. Designers will be elevating their game with education to proceed with this trend.

I think we are going to see larger, more outside-the -box floral installations. From impressive living flower walls to massive hanging installations, 2020 couples want their florals to make a statement. I think we will also see a lot more dried flowers being incorporat ed into wedding design.

Tyler Speier, Owner, Tyler Speier Events

The demand for sustainable decor will increase so think about florals that can last beyond the wedding day - moss structures, potted orchids and succulents used in new and unusual ways. Look out for the bouquet free wedding as brides and bridal parties ditch the traditional bouquet in favour of some stylized wearable florals - floral rings, clutches, and new ideas in floral accessories and jewellery.

We will see a move toward utilizing real, dried and dyed florals in arrangements which will be new.
