The Power of Colour: Choosing the Right Palette for Your Floral Arrangements

When it comes to floral design, colour is everything. The way you combine hues can evoke emotions, set the mood, and create a lasting impression. A well-balanced color palette ensures your arrangements stand out in the best way possible—whether for an event, a styled shoot, or simply to elevate a space.

One of our latest designs, The Bar Arrangement, is a perfect example of how to use bold, complementary colours to make a statement.

The Recipe for Our Bar Arrangement

Here’s a breakdown of what we used to create this striking look:

🌼 12 yellow pompom dahlias
🌸 4 large pink hydrangeas
🌷 6 real-touch pink roses
🌼 7 yellow medium-sized dahlias
🌸 6 real-touch pink anthuriums
🌿 1 bunch of pink amaranthus
🌸 12 sprays of small pink dahlias
🌼 3 sprays of poppies
🌿 2 phalaenopsis yellow orchids
🌼 4 medium-sized yellow hydrangeas
🌸 6 pink tulips
🍋 Pomegranate and lemons for styling

This carefully curated selection of warm yellows, vibrant pinks, and deep red tones creates a lively, luxurious, and modern aesthetic. The contrast between soft florals and bold fruit accents adds dimension and richness, making the arrangement pop against its background.

Why Colour Choice Matters in Floral Design

1️⃣ Color Theory & Emotional Impact

• Yellow is associated with joy, warmth, and positivity.
• Pink conveys love, playfulness, and femininity.
• Red (from the pomegranates) adds a touch of passion and depth.

When blended correctly, these colors create an eye-catching balance between vibrancy and elegance.

2️⃣ Balance & Composition

• The larger blooms (hydrangeas, anthuriums, and dahlias) provide a foundation of volume.
• The tulips and roses bring in soft movement and shape variation.
• The pomegranates and lemons add an unexpected textural contrast, making the arrangement feel fresh and modern.

3️⃣ Cohesion in Styling
This arrangement is not just about individual flowers—it’s about how they come together to form a harmonious composition. The mix of soft petals, structured shapes, and natural fruit elements makes this design visually captivating.
