Choosing the right bouquet of flowers can be quite difficult at times. Knowing the most popular floral trends can help with your bouquet-buying woes; Carly Cylinder, writing for the Huffington Post has attempted to highlight some of these trends that are expected to take off in 2012.

Here are just a few of those aforementioned trends in a summarised form:

Unusual bouquets - Technically this is a continuation of a trend that started last year, but Cylinder claims that its now "here to stay." A combination of flowers with objects such as wire and patterned ribbon is expected to be employed to keep those wonderful bouquets held together.

Colours - For the past couple of years, flowers with a soft tone have been all the rage; 2012 is set to be the year in which retro, yet neutral, shades make a return. So expect to see cobalt blues, raspberry and emerald in those arrangements.

Metallic - Cylinder states: "Look out for silver and gold spray painted flowers leaves, mixed with whites for a gorgeous classic look with a twist." These tones can accent the colours featured in bouquets to create a dreamy appearance.
