Explore 'Crimson Nocturne: A Pulse Deep Within'

Introducing the Thursd Floral Trend Color of the Year 2026: Crimson Nocturne – A Pulse Deep Within (#62122A). The deep, muted crimson hue has a touch of cocoa color to it, giving off an elegant, grounded and timeless vibe that hints at the quiet but intense emotions of life. The accompanying color palette, called Crimson Movement, provides the perfect complementary tones.

"There are moments in life, in flowers, when color goes beyond what we see and becomes something we feel," said Thursd's Regine Motmans. "Crimson Nocturne is exactly that. It is not simply a color, a tint, a hue. It's an atmosphere, a pulse even, of how flowers connect us to life's deepest emotions."

Inspired by this rich and moody palette, we created three designs showcasing garden roses and dahlias from our collections.

Signature Bouquet

Deep jewel tones and layered textures create a sensual and passionate vibe in this gorgeous bridal bouquet. Tess (Ausyacht) is the main protagonist here, accompanied by other tones from the Crimson Movement palette that reflect the trend, as her deep berry tones perfectly encapsulate passion and a nocturnal warmth. Piano, Garden Romance, and Wanted offer diverse, rich hues, exploring our collection of "Passionate Red" (#C61A3E) varieties, which bring out the uniqueness in each of their shapes and tint this design with all shades of romance and passion.

Sprinkles of Miranda (Ausimmon) enhance the bridal aspect of this bouquet as the variety pops against the vibrant reds and mature sand tones with a hint of "Rosey Pink" (#F4BDD9). Golden Mustard and Hana Spr align with "Golden Caramel” (#BD7A42), adding more subdued and earthy tones. This color combination, along with the fillers and greenery, perfectly captures the trend. Muted and bright, textural and delicate, and dark and light come together to express an entire spectrum of emotions.

Everyday Arrangement

The Floral Trend of the Year color palette creates a sense of atmosphere and amplifies the subtle mystique of the night. A quiet yearning for connection, warmth and vulnerability. Those feelings are captured in our Everyday Arrangement, a piece that reminds us that having a "casual" centerpiece in the home doesn't mean it has to be unluxurious. For this particular floral vision, we used Tess, Millicent (AUSCP174321), Baronesse, Wanted, Garden Romance and the Karma Chocolate dahlia to transmit the notion of stillness and beauty that the Crimson Movement evokes; with tints of joy in the brighter tones of Princess Midori Spr as our "Nature Green" (#528640), Hana Spr, Miyabi and Caramel Antike.

The contrasting tones of red garden roses and the green highlights of Princess Midori Spr are tied together with the medium pinks of Millicent and Miyabi, the subtle golds of Hana Spr and Golden Mustard, and the salmon accents of the Doris Duke dahlia. This spectrum of color calls for intimate gatherings, late-night conversations, and the appreciation of beauty.
