Fall may be upon us, but we can hold on to the feelings of spring and summer thanks to the popular floral trend that’s in bloom. Including everything from micro flowers to bold botanicals, this fresh motif will add a feminine touch to any of your designs. Let’s explore this garden of creativity.
FLORALS IN FASHION
I recently had an eight hour layover in Chicago, which allowed me to squeeze in some retail therapy. What I saw time and time again was pretty flowers in fashion. Here’s a look at how this trend is playing out on the runway.

FLORALS IN THE HOME
With flower gardening coming to a close for a season, it’s the perfect time to bring the blooms indoors.

With a few pieces of floral fabric and some Mod Podge, you can create your own striking storage pieces. I’ve also tried this technique on a small train case before, and the results were fantastic!

It wouldn’t be a proper florals post if we didn’t give a shout out to the pioneer of flower designs, Prima Marketing. These folks know their blooms and make crafting with pretty petals fun and always exciting!
So, do these picks have your imagination blooming? I’d love to hear your favorite way for incorporating flowers into your projects. Mine is by making flower bracelets like this one.
Instead of sending a bouquet of flowers, I love hand crafting floral gifts for friends and family—such a bright way to show you care!
Thanks for taking this walk through the garden of florals with me. Here’s hoping it helps put your week into full bloom!
Cheers!
