Floral design style trends for 2007 are also quite diverse.  Watch for lots of softly colored, loosely tied bouquets.  If you have not mastered the hand tie bouquet, get practicing.   You will want to become comfortable with the three main design techniques: the weave, the armature and the spiral.  Hand tied bouquets of 2007 mix a variety of materials in soft, coordinated colors.

Think of the softened edges of a lovely watercolor painting as opposed to the crisp drama of a contemporary oil painting.   Flowing grasses and textural foliages add to the new look.  Watch for extensive use of bear grass, lily grass, plumosa and sprengeri.
