2018 Holiday Card Trends : Deep Green Botanicals

// // 0 replies

The classic red and green Christmas color palette is a perennial favorite, but this year we’re seeing deep greens used in a big way for holiday. Holiday card designers are exploring a range of deep green tones for 2018, including greens with a touch of teal, greens that are so deep they’re almost black, and darker, muted greens.

The ongoing trend in modern botanicals pairs perfectly with this color trend. Chic and contemporary botanical patterns, sprays of leaves and berries, and wonderful wreaths are perfection against a backdrop of deep green, and leaves in a range of deeper tones look absolutely beautiful against a clean, white background.

In addition to classic red, dark and luscious greens are also being paired with muted, orange-y reds and blush pink for a modern twist, and these verdant hues also look absolutely gorgeous paired with metallic foils, which remain a huge trend for holiday.

Below, check out some beautiful examples of the deep green botanicals from the talented, trendsetting designers of Minted.
