The new year means changes in trends and styles, and it's no different in the floral world.
Find out what we think the top floral trends are to expect in 2025!
Mocha Mousse
Every year, Pantone announces a Colour of the Year, setting the tone for trends across fashion, design, and décor. For this year, the selected shade is Mocha Mousse, a warm and inviting brown that embodies both comfort and indulgence. While this hue might not be an obvious choice for floristry at first glance, its versatility offers countless opportunities for creative incorporation into bouquets and arrangements.
Mocha Mousse pairs beautifully with pastel tones and neutral shades, making it an excellent candidate for statement vases. This earthy brown creates a stunning backdrop for floral designs, allowing colours to pop while adding depth and warmth to the overall presentation. It’s particularly well-suited to dried floral arrangements, where textures and muted tones take centre stage. Popular choices like dried hydrangeas, bunny tails, pampas grass, and poppy heads effortlessly echo the richness of Mocha Mousse, blending seamlessly into elegant displays.
Additionally, this shade shines in autumnal arrangements, harmonising perfectly with the fiery hues of the season. Think vibrant oranges, deep reds, and golden yellows complemented by the grounding presence of Mocha Mousse. Whether used as an accent colour or as the star of the show, this year's Pantone shade brings a sense of natural sophistication to floral design, making it a trend to watch in 2025.
Statement Vases
Presentation is a key element in any floral design, and the right vase can turn even the simplest arrangement into an eye-catching masterpiece. This year, we anticipate a rise in vases that break the mould, featuring unusual shapes, bold patterns, and innovative materials. Think sculptural ceramics, hand-blown glass with vibrant hues, and organic forms inspired by nature. These statement pieces are not just functional; they serve as art objects in their own right, adding character and depth to any space.
Perfect for contemporary interiors, these vases encourage creativity and offer endless possibilities for experimenting with flowers. Whether you're drawn to minimalist designs or dramatic, oversized silhouettes, statement vases are set to redefine the way we present and appreciate flowers in 2025.

Single Stem Bouquets
This year, we anticipate single-flower bouquets to take centre stage in floral design. These minimalist arrangements, featuring just one type of bloom, offer a modern and refined aesthetic that highlights the beauty of a particular flower.
Single-stem arrangements are perfect for creating striking visual impact while maintaining a sense of simplicity. Many flowers truly shine when displayed this way, allowing their textures and colours to take the spotlight. Bold, statement blooms such as hydrangeas, roses, lilies, and peonies are particularly well-suited for these designs, making for dramatic and eye-catching centrepieces. It's also a great way to showcase seasonal favourites such as sunflowers, tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils.
Slow Life
We'd be remiss to not mention the Flower Council of Holland's themes for the year. The first of these is Slow Life, which focuses on simplicity, sustainability, and a mindful connection to nature. This concept encourages us to slow down, focus on the essentials, and embrace a sense of calm in both our surroundings and our floral arrangements.
At the heart of the Slow Life aesthetic is a soft, soothing palette. Think delicate pastels such as lilacs and blues, complemented by warm nude tones that evoke feelings of serenity and balance. These colours set the stage for arrangements that are not only beautiful but also deeply grounding.
Simple, calming arrangements are key to embodying this trend. Bouquets might feature a minimal selection of blooms, often arranged only loosely to showcase their natural appearance. Flowers like lisianthus, delphiniums, and soft pink ranunculus lend themselves perfectly to this style, offering elegance without excess. Pair these blooms with subtle greenery or dried elements for added texture.
Unique Utopia
The Flower Council of Holland’s second style for the year takes a daringly different approach, celebrating creativity and individuality with a colourful and maximalist aesthetic. Aptly named Unique Utopia, this theme encourages freedom and bold experimentation in floral design, inviting us to break the rules and explore unusual approaches.
At the core of Unique Utopia is an unapologetic use of vibrant colours and striking shapes. Expect bouquets that dazzle with dramatic contrasts and unexpected pairings. Hot pinks, fiery oranges, electric blues, and rich purples come together to create vivid arrangements that are impossible to ignore.
Unusual combinations are central to this style, where eclectic choices of shapes and textures reign supreme. Eye-catching flowers like orchids, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, and dahlias will play a starring role, adding depth and intrigue to these bold designs. Whether it's using diverse blooms, exotic foliage, or layering unexpected textures, this style is sure to make any bouquet a true statement piece.
Cosmic Future
The Flower Council's third theme 'Cosmic Future' focuses on the new, the contrasting, and the mysterious. At its core is a futuristic, space-inspired palette dominated by purples and blues, with whites, greens, and oranges providing striking contrast. Flowers such as alliums, irises, hydrangeas, and hyacinths are perfect choices due to their unique shapes and ability to bloom in shades of blue and purple, for a cosmic feel.
Presentation plays a vital role in this theme, with sleek, modern containers enhancing the overall effect. Gradient vases that transition smoothly between colours, contrasting vases that juxtapose bold tones, or transparent vessels that offer a glimpse into the structure of the arrangement are all excellent options to complete the Cosmic Future look.
Radiant Energy
The final theme, Radiant Energy, once more looks to the future for inspiration, but this time through a lens of optimism and possibility. Drawing on the positive potential of new technology, this style bursts with vitality, featuring a vibrant and uplifting palette full of bright colours and pastels.
Layers and contrast are key in this style, with arrangements often employing a variety of blooms at different heights to create a sense of movement and fluidity. Tall flowers such as sunflowers, snapdragons, and delphiniums are particularly suited to this look, their verticality contributing to the clean, modern lines that are intrinsic to this trend. These tall blooms are often paired with shorter flowers and delicate foliage, creating an intriguing interplay between bold structure and soft, flowing elements.
Dynamic and expressive, the arrangements are designed to appear as though they are in constant motion, creating a sense of freedom and possibility. Playful elements like wispy grasses, delicate blooms, and unexpected textures add further depths to the designs, giving them a lively, multi-dimensional feel.
