Flowers are an integral part of every celebration. Whether it’s a grand event or intimate affair, they can transform a venue. Here are the latest floral trends.

This season redefines romanticism, with over­abundant blooms of hydrangeas, garden roses, peonies and ranunculus. Add a rich blend of textures to designs with natural accents such as raspberries.

Coloured flowers will never go out of style, but for that more-natural look, greenery is taking a step forward. Garlands, tall branches designed to mimic trees and simple sprigs are a great way to create a contemporary look. If this is too much, opt for classic white flowers.

Floral runners can elevate any space, indoors or out.

Go bold with vibrant hues such as bright pink, orange and lime green, or deep jewel tones that offer super visual impact.

Hanging flowers create a real visual treat, whether you’re updating a simple table setting or giving your space a rustic feel.
