Trend forecasters Kristine Kratt, AIFD, PFCI, and Bill Schaffer, AAF, AIFD, PFCI, the husband and wife team behind the 2016 Flower Trends Forecast dig into the details of their trends in this month’s issue of Floral Management. The talented duo opened up about their latest research, which amounted to more than 1,000 hours and involved visits to flower shops, wholesale houses, gift and decorative accessories shows, flower farms and product manufacturers in cities such as Paris, Shanghai, San Francisco, San Antonio, Chicago and Atlanta. They amalgamated their findings into four distinct themes or “stories”— Lavish, Lustre, Festival and Sorbet — each breathtaking in its own way.
