Trends for 2006

Thank goodness for trends, otherwise we would quickly tire from the same colors year after year.   For 2005, pink remained a very popular color.  For 2006, it backs off and makes more room for blue.  Assured for 2006 is the ability to mix and match a wide range of shades.  As a result, consumers can pick and choose and not feel any specific color is being forced on them by the marketplace.

This years blue is towards a classic deep denim seen partnered with emerald greens and deep turquoises.  Plum and all its various tones, along with traditional lilac and purple pair up elegantly with brown shades.

Red never goes out of style from scarlet red to purple-infused and even blackish-red.  For 2006, deep red as seen in the Bacchara rose is one of the favourites.

The most versatile flower pick for the 2006 color trends would have to be the Alstroemeria, with a wide range of tones that harmonize well with most of the 2006 colors, specifically those with splashes of copper, clay, terra cotta and caramel.

Don’t forget that your containers, ribbons and other products used to dress your arrangements are also impacted by trends.  In 2006, containers in black, white or combined are ideal.  Water and glass are also integral design elements.

With so much color and variety, get creative and start your own trend.
