Greenery: What’s Trending Now
Whether the idea is to bring the outside in, use green as the color palette, or simply pick a stylish foliage for today’s bouquet, texture and movement is key when selecting greenery.
Here are three of today’s trending varieties and how to get them:
1. Ruscus
The narrow, wispy leaves and gracefully long sweeping vines creep into today’s themes, making ruscus the perfect choice to reflect the natural outdoors. Ruscus’ shape allows it to cascade and drape wherever it is used from garlands to bouquets. This effect is reminiscent of gowns making it an elegant choice for weddings, but also breezy and natural, making it a contemporary choice for natural, everyday arrangements.
2. Eucalyptus: all kinds
Like ruscus, our seeded eucalyptus captures the slender form of the blue gum trees’ leaves of Australia. Its willowy effect brings elegance to designs. Today’s consumers gravitate toward the light, wispy, featherlike texture this greenery provides. And the tiny details in the seedpods of our faux eucalyptus resemble small berries. Consumers love this attention to detail that may remind them of a budding spring or a frosty winter.
Silver dollar eucalyptus is also a favorite, creating the opposite effect. Its symmetrical, geometric, stacked leaves on the stem give a crisp clean look. Designers know it is not just the material itself, but the space, that brings interest to designs. While silver dollar eucalyptus brings geometry it is not sterile, due to the wide, round leaves and silvery green. The cool, soothing tone lends itself to today’s most popular color palettes.
3. Plants
Overall, greenery and foliage are being noticed more than ever. Pop culture filled with plant material may leave customers skipping the blooms all together.
With a wide variety of greenery garlands, sumptuous ferns and thick begonias, filling pots and urns with plant material is hugely popular.
Plus, we know the trend continues for plant walls at events. Succulents and boxwood continue to be desirable to create interesting, but not overwhelming, backgrounds to photos.
4. Not-green greenery
Another trend in floral design and bouquets is minimal, but purposeful greenery. And it may not be green at all! Greenery was first used to collar bouquets or fill out arrangements. But today’s variety of styles means more wild stems and textures add interest. Greenery is more than a base.
Narrow-choke containers are popular and lend themselves to a few stems that creep and arch in interesting directions.
A love of texture and organic forms is also replacing traditional greens. Thistles, lavender, and even herbs like parsley and sage add texture and cool undertones that provide a subtle color. Because green is omnipresent in foliage and flower stems, many designers are taught it does not “count” in a color scheme. By introducing filler greens with slight color, today’s designers are reclaiming this area of arrangements.
Greenery has become increasingly important as consumers notice the filler material in arrangements. Those seeking a more stylized expression of their personality know greenery aids in the overall presentation and makes a design feel romantic, bohemian, or modern.
