Predicting Colors for Seasons

Becca · Kate Spade

Hmm that's weird. I've never heard that with flowers but I'm no florist. Anyways, I don't think it would be hard to find pink and green flowers though. Those colors are pretty common. You have to have pink and green!

I saw this on some random TV show - apparently, there is a big fabric convention twice a year somewhere in France. All the designers go to it a year or two before their collections are shown. It's at this fabric convention where all the "trends" and hot colors for the next few years are determined. It's something that I completely would not have believed unless I saw it myself.

You probably have to be and insider to know what's going to be "in" in the next few years. Isn't that crazy?!?!

I have seen that also.

I saw that too! It's so weird to think these fashion insiders have picked out all of the colors we'll be wearing in the next few years.

I have no idea where you can go to see what the colors are though.

hmmm...it's kind of a weird and unsettling idea but it doesn't make sense, so I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, how else would they all be so "coordinated" in terms of trends and colors?

It's true. On the jewelry message boards I visit, discussions about colors & trends always resurface from time to time.

Interesting - I'm disturbed that your potential florist told you that pink & green were "big last year" - is he trying to sway your color decision? That would aggrivate me, but maybe it's just me.... I mean really, it wouldn't be a chic wedding unless it was pink & green.....

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I am not swaying from my pink and green so no worries there. I also decided that I didn't want to hire this guy. Everyone does seem to be doing pink and green and peonies all over the knot and that makes it less exciting for me. I want to do it really different and cool so I can get myself in a bride magazine. Oh and they can still get whatever flowers I want, so don't worry about that either.

I had heard that colors were predicted for fashion, but I didn't know what it would be the same for flowers...?
