Choosing your Wedding Flowers

Themed weddings
You've booked the venue, bought your dress and you know what colour your bridesmaids will be wearing. 

These three factors will already be setting the scene for how you want your special day to look.  You might choose a theme around a joint interest, the city or country where you shared a special holiday, or a bygone decade.  Is your wedding a formal affair in a grand country house, modern and minimalist in a city hotel, or relaxed and low key?
For the wedding shown here the bride wanted striking designs in tutti frutti colours to complement the bridesmaids' choice of dress colour, and a cocktail theme  We loved creating these colourful arrangements which include Phalaenopsis orchids and Callas.



Colour
Colour has a huge effect on the overall look of your wedding, and the exact shades will further set the tone of the occasion.  Purple has been a popular bridesmaids' colour recently.  Would you choose the simplicity of purple and white flowers, a blend of shades from palest lilac to deepest aubergine, or a vibrant contrast to the purple with yellow or lime green?
