Summer flowers+ wedding = perfection

OF all the extras that go towards making your wedding day a special one, few are as important as flowers and whether it’s a spring, summer, autumn or winter wedding, flowers will always create that perfect mood and tone with lots of beauty, colour, style and elegance.

It’s summertime, which means you don’t need to be an expert gardener to know it is high season for all things horticultural and colourful. Flowers will be remembered and cherished by your guests, and will still beam admiringly from your wedding album for many years after the big day.

Your florist will have lots of fabulous, quirky and bang-on-trend ideas to help you choose the perfect floral arrangement, so it really pays to take a little time out and contemplate what you would like. Perhaps there is a special flower from childhood that you might like to include as part of your wedding?

Similarly, there could be a flower that reminds you of a special loved one in the family who is deceased and by having their favourite flower as part of your wedding ceremony will make them feel closer to you.

You can also ask your florist to incorporate some flowers from a special garden or meadow into your bouquet. The ideas for combining flowers with sentiment to add some extra meaning to a special day are endless. All you need to do is put a little thought into it.

Some people prefer the traditional floral designs we associate with church weddings, while others like to use flowers to make a bolder, quirkier and more modern impact on their day. It’s usually all about what you decide and there are no shortage of professional florists out there ready to help add that magical and personal touch to your day.
