Chartreuse

Chartruese has been seeing a spike in popularity due to it’s vibrancy and unique floral options. When you want “green” but not “greenery”, chartreuse is the perfect pathway to a full floral design that’s ready to part-ay. Most popular in the form of green hanging amaranthus - chartreuse is most commonly found in an entirely green and white palette or in a funky mix of greens, pinks, oranges, yellows, and more. Chartreuse offers about the closest to neon that occurs naturally - round out your spunky green palette with anthurium, viburnum, and green-leaning hellebore.

Yellow

Sit back, relax, and enjoy a Mimosa. The flower called Mimosa, of course, not the tasty champagne based beverage - though they do share the same captivating shade of yellow. In 2025 we will see mature yellow palettes; not in the daisy chain cheerful manner of trends past. Think of the frilled yellow gerbera and black eyed susans as the hip older sisters of the daisies of flower shop fame. If you opt for a yellow and white color palette - yellow lisainthus and butterfly ranunculus soften the transition from bright yellow mimosa to stark white roses. Make yellow the star of the show or mix in a happy daffodil or handful of yellow zinnias to brighten a classic spring scheme.

All Red

2025 is sure to encourage commitment to the bit. Gone are the days of reds shyly mixed with blush or white. If you ask us - red goes best with more RED. Red can range from a bright Hollywood lipstick to a deep, moody (nearly purple!) burgundy which allows for a monotone palette that still creates visual interest by way of complex shades and textures. Red is no longer your momma’s dozen rose bouquet from dad; it can be romantic, provocative, and luscious on a wedding day. A Nina is the perfect shade of show-stopping red rose with bright undertones. Varying shades of red roses are the perfect base for your all-red design; add visual interest with upright or hanging red amaranthus, tulips, and cremons.

Purple

Purple can be a controversial color in floral design - it can prove difficult to match up varying shades of the color. Our advice? Choose one shade to commit to and go for it! Lavender for a cheerful palette - Westminster Abbey roses and lavender sweet peas. Go for darker purples to evoke a moodier vibe - purpley orchids, dark calla lilies, and red grapes in the tablescapes. Much like red, purple is the right pick when it’s committed to and used in a selective manner.

Brown

The 2025 Color trend predictions wouldn’t be complete without a nod to the Pantone Color of the Year - Mocha Mousse. You might be thinking - brown?? For flowers?? Doesn’t that mean it’s dead?? You might rethink that judgement when you take a peek at a moody brown palette starring Charlie Brown orchids. Actually, a variety of naturally occurring orchids feature gorgeous brown hues. This palette offers the perfect opportunity to explore branches such as curly willow or copper beech for complimentary shades and eye catching texture. Add in a delicious toffee rose to round out your all-brown design or opt to mix in purples, coppery orange, and burgundy to create a high-brow fall color scheme that will wow your guests.

Try them together!

Purple and Chartreuse

It’s hard to say where this pairing originated - maybe a master florist saw the green and red grapes together in the produce aisle and said “eureka!”. Regardless, there’s no denying the complimentary manner of these two colors. The “funky” bride might enjoy a mix of hanging green amaranthus, any shade of hellebore, purple orchids and other tropical flowers in either or both of these two shades. Don’t forget the actual grapes around your table centerpieces, too!

Brown and Purple

While unexpected at first, brown and purple offer a delicious mixture of hues. Certain orchids offer both of these shades in the same flower - offering the perfect starting point to experiment with varying shades of roses and foliage. A pop of yellow could even add an unexpected twist - try an oncidium orchid with all three colors to transition into a brighter tone.
