As they say, here comes the season of pumpkin spice and everything nice. That lovely time of the year when fruits and foliage become as beautiful as the flowers. Get the most out of the fall season by being up-to-date with the freshest flower and color trends.
Let’s start with colors. Who says Pantone Color Forecasts apply only to fashion? And who says our flower choices should be limited to purples and oranges and browns just because it’s the season of crops and pumpkins and crisp, fallen leaves?
We’ve seen these delicious hues on models gracing every glamorous haute couture runway of every fall fashion week. We bet they don’t just look fabulous on fashion pieces, but on our favorite flowers too.
Check out our top picks from the Pantone Color Forecast for Fall 2016:
- Aurora Red (18-550) – sophisticated, sensual, and breeds unmistakable confidence
- Dusty Cedar (18-1630) – a fall version of the rosey shades of spring, warm and welcoming
- Potter’s Clay (18-1340) – warm with a tinge of russet orange undertones
- Spicy Mustard (14-0952) – a spicy and spunkier yellow, exquisite and exciting
- Bodacious (17-3240) – a pleasant surprise for fall, it’s bright, rich purple with a pinch of blush pink
