Summer Flower Trends
Summer is a time of abundance for flowers, with all colours
and shapes available. For something traditionally meadow-like, there are Alchemilla
(lady's mantle), campanula, marguerite (Chrysanthemum frutescens) and other annual
chrysanthemums, and solidago or goldenrod. Similarly cottage-garden in appearance
are Aconitum (monkshood), alliums, peony, phlox, scented stock (Matthiola), sweet
william (Dianthus barbatus), sweet pea, godetia or clarkia and sunflowers. More
exotic summer flowers include Eremurus (foxtail lily), tuberose (Polianthes),
and the bright sky-blues of agapanthus, hydrangea, trachelium, and triteliea.
Talking Flowers:
Express your personality through flowers, whether it's with flower jewellery, floral handbags or heart-shaped designs. Find a personal meaning for you, using the diva flower of the Summer, roses.
Garden of Delight:
Fantasy and creativity - interpreted in the vibrant, strange, natural world of
this summer's flower fashion theme.
Outside In:
This season the trend is all about finding peace and
quiet within four walls by bringing nature indoors and blurring the boundaries
between outside and in. On The Move:
Get up and go! Take traditional and modern flowers
and mix together in relaxed posies and adorn your outside space.
Urban Beach:
Blue skies and sunshine, bold and colourful flowers
arranged in a relaxed and natural way. Life's a beach!
Precious Shields:
A perfect ecological balance of light and
shade, rough and smooth, protective camouflage and astounding flashes of gleaming
colour. Re-create:
Bright and dazzling colours contrast with faded tones - as if some of the flowers
have faded in the sun.
Sensuality:
Deep shades of red, pink, flesh and maroon combine
for a steamy summer trend.
Highlights:
Sunbleached, tanned Scandinavian meadow flowers
with the emphasis on natural elements.
Domestic Jungle:
Rich reds and purples with tropical foliage
for a taste of Africa.
