Flower selection
Roses
Roses are a classic choice for any wedding flowers day – they’re an all-time favourite for many brides. The most natural way to use roses is a combination of all the different kinds in one bunch – baby, large-headed, and garden roses. They look exquisite when the sizes and colours blend together in a bouquet or table display.
Sweet Peas
These delicate flowers are particularly popular because of their sweet fragrance. Because of their short stems, they, unfortunately, cannot be used in tall bouquets, but they are perfect in centrepieces, bridal bouquets or short vases. They come in lovely pastel colours, but also strong purple and red.
Gypsophyllia
More commonly known as baby’s breath, this beautiful flower has a light and airy appearance. When put into bouquets, it looks exquisite on its own or as a filler between other flowers. The unusual choice of baby’s breath has proven very popular for wedding flowers arrangements in recent months.
Physalis
Physalis come in either orange or green, to add a splash of unusual colour to your floral arrangement. The common name for the flower is ‘Chinese lantern’ due to their resemblance to the traditional Chinese lantern.
