National YoungArts Foundation's Backyard Ball

This year's January 9 gala in Miami had less of a backyard-barbecue feel than previous iterations, with a look modeled on a French garden. Greenery, high hedges, silver tones, and amber lighting all added to the sophisticated, outdoorsy vibe. The event took place at the YoungArts Campus and Wow Factor handled decor. Starr Events also worked on the benefit.

“Wild, ripped-out-of-the-garden-inspired floral design has been a trend in the wedding industry for many years now,” says Jesse Tombs, managing partner of Alison Events Planning & Design in San Francisco. “We love working with bold color, pattern, and vibrant fresh ideas and are starting to see our corporate clients moving away from the everyday corporate blandness and wanting more editorial, unique designs that speak to their companies’ visions of creativity, success, and individuality.”

Folk Art Reinvented
Folk Art Reinvented

This is the most casual and whimsical style, marked by free-form design and a mix of bright colors. “There’s this whole group of consumers that love Etsy and love that hand-crafted look and feel," says Skaff. "So it’s like folk art, but in a youthful way. It’s spirited, upbeat, and quirky."

Very bright colors mark this style, including green, teal, yellow, pink, and orange. Butterfly and insect prints have also become popular in fabrics for fashion and home, and that will translate to floral design as well.

From a floral perspective, Skaff says bold choices such as alliums, Gerbera daisies, sunflowers, and even hand-dyed “rainbow roses” align with this trend.

Magnificent Mediterranean

Skaff says people are feeling more confident in the economy, so colors are getting brighter and more vivid. The deep, rich colors of Spain, Italy, Egypt, and other Mediterranean countries will prevail, including golds, cinnabars, blues, and yellows. Consumers are also looking for finely-crafted and one-of-a-kind items and interesting textures and patterns, so ceramic containers and hand-blown glassware will be popular. “It’s a casual, haphazard formality, because it does have a form, but we use a lot of vines, citrus fruit, and natural elements like jasmine vines and flowers like dahlias or sunflowers,” he says.
