Delhi’s a city with a complex, layered relationship with flowers and blooms. You see people using these blooms in everyday rituals like prayers; during seasonal festivities, women wear them in their hair, girls carry bouquets; and they are in the home, at entryways, and so many more places. Every nook and corner has flowers around, and it’s a refreshing view.
By the way, the trend of flowers has changed a little this year in the bustling city. The trends have seen a change towards something more than the usual visual appeal; it’s more about the feeling and the vibe. It’s more about intention, the energy, and the novelty of it all. Flowers are now chosen intentionally in how they’re arranged and where they are placed.
Here’s a closer look at the fresh and floral trends that are defining the city this year.
Growing Demand for Seasonal and Local Blooms
The first and most popular trend to look out for this year is the focus on seasonal and local flowers. Yes, this is one unusual yet conscious choice the people have been driven towards. Marigolds, chrysanthemums, tuberoses, and roses are some of the flowers in Delhi that you can find in abundance and are also loved this season. The availability of these beautiful flowers aligns perfectly with Delhi’s climate cycles. This makes them all the more resilient and longer-lasting choices.
1. Blooms With Soft Colour Palette
We all know that bright and high-contrast florals are highly loved by all. But, despite the love that these blooms get, the soft floral arrangements have become popular lately. These include blooms that are pastel, muted white, pale blue and pink, light yellow, dusky red, and the beautiful, gentle greens. You see simple lilies paired with beautiful eucalyptus or baby’s breath with soft roses in the most common pairings. These flowers have been getting popular, particularly for gifting and also for home decor. The growing trend towards pastel and soft colour palette shows that you do not need bold to make a standout statement piece.
2. Minimal Floral Arrangements
The upcoming trend is having arrangements that are less structured and more minimal and free-flowing. It allows the vibe to be laid back, relaxed, and easy flowing. So, instead of those tight bouquets, you get these dreamy minimal floral arrangements that set the vibe just right. The special thing about these arrangements is that you get to add in a bunch of different flowers that also add texture yet make the arrangements stand out from the rest. Besides, you can get these floral arrangements for all kinds of events and celebrations.
3. Native and Garden Blooms
One other prominent trend that is growing in Delhi is the growing love for flowers that are familiar and rooted in the local culture of the city. Arrangements made with some beautiful native and garden flowers like rajnigandha, jasmine, hibiscus, and mogra have been gaining popularity. When we say they’re getting popular, they’re not in the usual religious spaces but also in modern gifting and decor. One fun thing about the growing popularity of these flowers is that they evoke nostalgia, adding an emotional quotient as well.
4. Blooms for Everyday Decor
Well, since the past year, it has been very clear that flowers are not specific to bigger celebrations; people enjoy having them as house decor too. More and more people have been incorporating these flowers into everyday life, like putting them in small vases at home, in outdoor sitting areas, or on work desks as well. The best part about the rising popularity of these flowers is that they are simple, elegant and quietly enhance the space. You can find flowers from simple carnations and baby’s breath to special orchids and lilies in homes. You can also mix and match by mixing small buds with accented flowers, and that makes all spaces feel warm and welcoming.
5. Dried and Preserved Flowers
Even though they are not your usual fresh flowers, they are flowers that stand out from the rest. If you want some that last long, you can get dried preserved flowers. These florals are out of the ordinary on this list: dried and preserved floral blooms. Many brides look to dry and preserve their wedding bouquets, varmalas, and decor flowers as memorabilia. They become a forever flower that you can add as decor in your new home that will last forever. But this is not an option for newly married couples. Many people love the look of dried flowers for decor around their house. You can cover it with a glass dome or preserve it in resin.
Yes, fresh flowers have been dominating the floral arrangement space, but dried and preserved florals like pampas grass, dried palms, preserved roses, sunflowers, and other flowers have changed the game. One of the best things is that these are versatile arrangements. You can use them as decor in the home, workspaces, outdoors, at entryways, as centerpieces, and in other places. These arrangements attract those who want a low-maintenance option of flower arrangements but also add texture and warmth to the space.
