B.WITCHING TREND REPORT

Garden Tea Party

They say all style trends begin with ready to wear fashion and every year when the weather warms, floral dresses find their way back into our rotations. While some floral trends are frequent favorites due to their timelessness, there's something to be said for the breath of fresh air found in new and trending styles. If you think you are falling down the rabbit hole you are not alone, it’s as if the 80s Laura Ashley style is new again. According to Instyle.com, the Spring collections from designers like Valentino and Marni delivered dresses in full and rare bloom, as if inspired by a grand garden tea party. Unlike the softly romantic florals of seasons past, 2024's trending floral dresses are all about impact — structured silhouettes and striking sleeves take the place of tiered ruffles, while romantic floral fabrics, combine with cottagecore and dark moody boho color palettes bring a charged energy to form luxe to low-key.

Interior floral patterns are hot, hot, hot in 2024. Whether they are on the walls, floors or furniture, patterns are the favored design aesthetic of the year. Here’s what's in and how to use patterns for greatest effect in your retail space. The Reggio Register.com says the most obvious feature you'll see is larger than life florals. Think romantic English garden tea time in the countryside. Whatever the pattern, you can count on it being big. Vintage and Grandmillennial continue to be favorites. Large-scale florals like chintz with its light background is an obvious choice. Anything with a sense of 1960s or 70s in bold colors and floral shapes is good to go. Patterns with lots of detail often feel like they come from a time when weaving was an art form. French toile depicts scenes in the countryside and brings instant vintage vibes.
