Top 3 Floral Fusions: Tropical Meets Victorian Garden Style: I know this seems like one of those over the top fusions that no way could ever look good, but in fact this is one of my favorite fusions to do. The way I like to think of it is Tarzan meets Jane, it’s the tropical flowers (orchids, callas, protea etc) mixed with more classic flowers (roses, hydrangeas etc) in either a grouping method (more often associated with tropicals) or in an English garden method (flowers all mixed with greens.) This fusion is typically done in an urn or classic container (Victorian garden) or a modern glass with a leaf in the base (Tropical.) It is nice because it gives the modern look of Tropical Style with the abundance of the Victorian Garden Style.  Classic meets Contemporary: I like to think of this style as the scene in 27 Dresses when Katherine Hiegel goes into the dress shop to see her sister has taken their mother’s vintage dress and altered it to a more modern style (without the storm out and general anger over the alteration.) Basically classic meets contemporary in the flower world means taking the classic elements that your mother and grandmother had in their flowers (roses, gardenias, baby’s breath etc) and using them in a more modern style. For example instead of a long cascading bouquet roses and baby’s breath doing a more contemporary hand held bouquet with those flowers instead.  Monoflora meets Polychromatic: Though I doubt that anyone really thinks of this as a breakthrough fusion, it has grown in popularity over the past few years. Basically it is using one type of flower (rose, carnation, hydrangea, gerber daisy) in multiple colors all mixed together. This style is for those with like the consistency of a rounded shape (if all the flowers are the same then the formation won’t have any gaps) but want to have more than one color in their design scheme.  |
