Fall represents change, warmth, and mystery. When it comes to flowers, there are many beautiful blooms that add color and life to the gloominess of this season. 2021 is not a stranger to bold and colorful floral arrangements, as people wanted to break out from the sad and dull 2020 pandemic restrictions that did not allow for much creativity in the floral industry. Fall 2021 flower trends are also highly inspired by the 70’s and 80’s bringing back the flower power era. Below are our top fall floral must haves in 2021.
One of the top fall floral must haves in 2021 is mood-elevating florals that add a positive and calming environment. After the year we’ve just had, wellness is going to be a hot topic in 2021. That means floral arrangements will have to be functional as well as decorative, adding style and value. Expect to see calming flowers like peonies, lavender, holly and magnolias trending in 2021 to add a feel-good moment to your life.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, psychedelic color palettes is another floral trend that’s set to take fall 2021 by storm. Inspired by colourful prints from the '70s and 80’s, florists are taking a steer from the decade of Flower Power with the resurgence of vibrant color combinations. This floral trend is a must have for anyone that wants to make a lasting statement.
Diving deeper into the floral industry, boutonniere magnets are an absolute must have this fall for florists. Forget about the traditional pins and needles used to secure a boutonniere into place. Floral magnets such as the ones made by Boutstix are giving pins and needles a visit to the grave. BoutStix magnets are a breeze to design with. They’re simply wrapped with floral tape, which means no extra fuss for florists! Flowers will look just as pristine at the end of the day as they did leaving the flower shop. Another great tool to have this fall is a wooden flower press. Dried flowers were a big trend back in the 80s, and although they fell out of favor in the early 2000s, they are back in 2021 and this time they are here to stay. With pressed flowers you can turn the blooms from important moments in your life into long lasting memories and create many things such as decor pieces, cards, dried flower bouquets and many more. In addition, the dried flower trend complements a bohemian look yet perfectly sets the scene for a minimalist style highlighting natural simplicity. This simplistic, earthy trend focuses on using less outsourced material in arrangements and bouquets and relying on organic and earthy materials.
Last but not least flower frogs are another floral fall 2021 must have. Since flower trends this fall are all about being big and bold, you need to have a flower frog to make your arrangement stand out. Flower frogs hold flowers in place, while also contributing to the beauty of the design. This is important in shallow containers where you can see the anchoring piece. Frogs resemble little pincushions, only the pins are facing upwards and are more sturdy.
