Move over Tiffany Blue, Pink is in......




I'm a firm believer that whatever style you want for your wedding or event, it's in vogue.

Having said that, there are trends that are more popular than others. Tiffany Blue and Chocolate have been a popular trend for the last few years. Now we are seeing a move to pink and chocolate. I have to admit it's a luscious, romantic combination, rich and innocent at the same time.

Some other trends that are expected to be big in the next few years are: Green/Organic-shades of green and brown with natural elements; Ethnic-with rich jewel-tones; Modern-combinations of black, white and brown; "Whisper"-soft tones of creams, grays and blues paired with browns (California Cut Flower Commission); and Value-arrangements that do double-duty, flowers that are cost-effective (like the carnation-out of style for years, but making a come-back).

All in all, it's an exciting time in the floral business. As the economy changes, so does business. We need to provide exceptional value for every customer dollar. We're looking forward to the challenge.
