Floral Industry Colors of 2025

Pantone Colors of 2025

Mocha Mousse

Pantone’s Color of the Year, Mocha Mousse, is a rich, earthy neutral that sets the tone for 2025. This warm shade exudes sophistication and pairs beautifully with a wide range of floral hues, making it an excellent base for arrangements. For florists, Mocha Mousse can anchor bouquets featuring terracotta roses, blush peonies, or preserved foliage in muted tones. It’s also ideal for event designs where understated elegance is key—think rustic weddings or chic corporate gatherings.

Floral Pathways Palette

Accompanying Mocha Mousse is Pantone’s Floral Pathways palette, which balances delicate pastels with vibrant hues. This diverse collection inspires creativity, offering shades that complement any design vision. Florists can experiment with soft tones like lavender and peach for romantic arrangements or embrace the bold energy of coral and teal for statement pieces. Use this palette to create seasonal collections, tailoring your offerings to reflect the changing moods of spring, summer, or fall.

Thursd Color Amethyst Glow

Named Amethyst Glow, Thursd’s color of the year is a captivating purple shade. Perfect for bold floral arrangements, it harmonizes beautifully with other trending tones like soft greens and pale pinks. Florists can incorporate Amethyst Glow into event designs, pairing it with lavender and cream blooms for romantic weddings or with dark plum and metallic elements for sophisticated evening events.

SecondFlor’s Pick: Lime Cream

Our top color for 2025 is PANTONE 12-0312 TCX Lime Cream. This refreshing light green adds a vibrant touch to floral compositions and interior decor, seamlessly blending with the year’s broader palette. Lime Cream is ideal for contemporary designs, particularly when paired with white hydrangeas, preserved moss, or mocha mousse accents. Use it in eco-conscious arrangements to attract customers seeking fresh, lively, and modern aesthetics.

Nature Meets Interiors: 2025 Trends

Soft Blues and Subtle Greens

Colors like soft blues and subtle greens dominate 2025’s interior design trends, offering a serene and sophisticated aesthetic for living and working spaces. Shades such as sage green, olive green, and powder blue are perfect for creating calming environments. Biophilic designers can use preserved ferns, eucalyptus, and moss in these tones to design arrangements that evoke tranquility and elegance. Soft blue hydrangeas or delphiniums can add a dreamy touch to arrangements, complementing the greens and creating depth.

Organic, Nature-Inspired Motifs for Interiors

In 2025, interior design continues its love affair with organic, nature-inspired motifs, focusing on subtle and textures. Rugs play a pivotal role in this trend, with designs featuring natural forms like rippling circles, flowing lines, and pebble-like shapes. These motifs, often rendered in muted tones of beige, gray, sage green, and dusty blue, evoke the serenity of natural landscapes.

Adding Warmth with Apricot Shades

Apricot emerges as a favorite in interior spaces this year. This warm, spring-like hue is especially popular for walls, kitchen accents, and decorative accessories. Florists can incorporate apricot-colored blooms like ranunculus, tulips, or roses into bouquets and event designs to bring a cheerful and inviting feel to homes or events.

The Unexpected Red Theory

One of the boldest interior trends for 2025 is the Unexpected Red Theory, a concept introduced by interior designer Taylor Migliazzo Simon. This theory revolves around the strategic use of deep red accents in otherwise neutral or minimalist spaces. Red, being an emotionally charged color, draws the eye and creates a sense of warmth and drama. Its unexpected placement—such as in a single chair, a rug pattern, or even a small floral arrangement—offers an artistic contrast that energizes a room without overwhelming it.

Pinterest 2025 Trends

Embrace the Bold: Cherry Mania in 2025

Pinterest’s predictions highlight an obsession with cherry red across multiple sectors, from makeup to floral design. The Cherry Mania trend draws its origins from a combination of fashion influence, psychological impact, and cultural shifts. In fashion, bold, vibrant colors like cherry red have become increasingly popular, representing confidence, energy, and a sense of fun. This bold hue is set to make waves in 2025.

Halo Beauty

The trend’s revival of '80s makeup nostalgia with a modern twist adds a playful yet sophisticated dimension, featuring vibrant, multi-colored eye makeup, bold blushes, and gold halos around the eyes. If we were to link this trend to floristery, this trend combines ethereal, angelic aesthetics with soft, glowing tones and delicate floral accents to create a dreamy, otherworldly effect. The Halo Beauty trend is not just about makeup; it’s a celebration of individual expression, empowerment, and the fusion of fantasy with reality, inviting us all to explore our inner beauty in a new, luminous way.

Fashion Trends

Ice Cream Palette

Pastel shades like baby pink, baby blue, water green, and pale yellow dominate the fashion world, bringing a playful and refreshing feel that translates seamlessly into floral design. Florists can craft arrangements inspired by these “ice cream” colors, perfect for spring celebrations, baby showers, or gender reveals. Highlight these creations on social media with a focus on their versatility and whimsy.

Burgundy and Brown make a strong comeback

Rich, earthy tones like burgundy and brown are making a strong comeback in fashion, offering depth and sophistication to outfits. These warm hues evoke a sense of timeless elegance and natural beauty, adding a grounded, organic feel to contemporary wardrobes. Whether incorporated into clothing, accessories, or makeup, these colors create a harmonious balance that complements a variety of styles. In floristry or interior designs, these colors are ideal for fall or winter designs, pairing beautifully with dried elements like pampas grass or preserved oak leaves.
