Curating Legacies A leisure stroll from the past into the present sparks a revival of floral design sense and sensibilities with stirring new applications previously associated with the late 1800s and early 1900s. Soft color palettes and subtle and graceful design elements reminiscent of Great Britain’s Edwardian Era (1901-1910) and France’s Beaux-Arts architecture (characterized by order, formality, grandiosity and elaborate ornamentation) are reinterpreted for today’s modern era, making “Promenade” compositions relevant, new and ageless.
This trend’s color narrative tells a story of light pastels and golden honey hues that cast warmth with colors dominated by peach, blush, taupe and sand. With colorations and key botanicals, such as Wabara Garden Roses’ ‘Miyabi’ variety and fringed tulips, this trend conveys messages of new beginnings and timeless décor. “Promenade” blends the relaxed, unstructured and feminine details of the Edwardian Era – such as flowing ribbons, ruffles and lace – with lush and textural flowers to create exuberant and luxurious floral compositions, from garden style to majestic.
