Beachy Blues Floral Trend 2014
When Ashley from ProFlowers contacted me and asked if I’d like to participate in an article on floral trends for 2014, I thought it sounded like fun~
mostly, because they’ve done all the work as far as the “trends” part goes.
Honestly, I don’t have a hot clue as to what the 2014 trends for anything is.
Except the color of the year.
It’s orchid. {Did you know that?}
The ProFlowers article Ashley referred to gave all kinds of ideas and inspiration in the area of all things floral. I don’t tend to let “trends” dictate my decorating. But, I do know whether I like something or not. I was instantly drawn to the beautiful blue florals and read that one of the 2014 trends is
“ towards water colors—as in, the colors of water. Blue hydrangeas, delphiniums and irises pair with shades of lavender, purple orchids and blue-green succulents to form displays as cool and relaxing as a dip in the bay.”
Well, that is right up this blue-loving girl’s alley! Here are a few inspiration pictures I’ve discovered that goes with the current beachy blue blooms trend.
I find I’m often drawn to blue paired with white. They just seem to belong together ~ like fluffy clouds and a big, blue sky.
Florals can be added into our homes through printed accessories ~ like the teacup above ~ or even fabric.
Sometimes the watery blue look can be achieved through pretty glass bottles with simple, assorted buds and blooms.
I also noticed that one of the trends is to put flowers in unusual containers ~ like the old silver cups above. I just love the whole “coastal” look of the arrangement above ~ blue wall backdrop, driftwood colored wood, white, and a splash of green!
What current floral trend is your favorite? (The Country Garden one came in a close second in my book!)
