Floral trends in 2023 are taking inspiration from fashion trends and art styles. They incorporate various aspects of social media, haute couture and even technological advancements into flower displays across all venues and productions.
Maximalism, luxury and elegance are the overarching themes of flower displays and decor this year. Here are some trends to look for in 2023.
Press to Impress
For centuries, pressing flowers has been a sentimental and functional way of preserving flowers from important moments in someone’s life. Aesthetic trends like the cottage-core movement on TikTok have increased the use of these older, romanticized practices. Nowadays, the old becomes trendy.
Look for pressed flowers as a focal point at events and overall decor. These projects are easy to DIY and accomplish and invite a lot of creativity into each piece.
Digital Lavender
“Digital Lavender,” an incredible, calming light purple, is the predicted color of 2023, according to Architectural Digest. Look for this shade of lavender in interior design trends, bouquets of flowers and modern floral arrangements.
Barbie Bouquets
The new Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie will be released in theaters in 2023. The preview release inspired Barbie-core making a comeback.
A blend of bright, rich  and magentas with fluorescent oranges and intense purples creates stunning and vibrant arrangements. These are bound to make a statement at any event.
Dressed in White
The “clean girl” and “coastal grandma” aesthetics dominated 2022. The lasting impact of these fads is through floral arrangements.
All-white flowers are used to create regal, monochromatic bouquets. This year, white floral arrangements will undoubtedly be popular for  and formal gatherings.
Healthy Plants, Healthy Planet
Beyond flower arrangements, plant trends are evolving alongside their floral counterparts. To reduce their carbon footprint, plant owners are turning towards more CO2-reducing plants to add to their homes and venue spaces. The plants act like natural air purifiers and provide crisp, clean air in any space.
From floral arrangements named after the iconic barbie doll to healthy CO2-reducing plants, one thing is sure –– 2023 is a year of mixing the old with the new.
