TOP TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

Make sure that you visit your florist at least six months before your wedding day to secure your booking and avoid disappointment. Floral designers are often booked well in advance.

It's best to bring fabric swatches to your consultation to ensure your wedding flowers will enhance the bride and bridesmaids gowns.

Consider which flowers are in season as they will perform best on your wedding day. We can advise you which flowers are in season and also which flowers will hold up to seasonal weather conditions. No one wants their delicate flowers drooping on a hot day.

Choose a bouquet to compliment the style of your wedding gown. A bride choosing a more voloptuous gown will benefit from a trailing bouquet to create a streamlined effect and be proportional to the gown and bride.

Bring along pictures of arrangements you like to give us an idea of your tastes and personal style and show us where your wedding will be held so we get a feel for the style or tone of your wedding. Come up with some words which best describe the feel you're after. Clean, modern, ornate, natural, lush, etc.

By informing us of your budget, we can better give you advice on how to use your flowers creatively and which types of flowers will best give you your desired look to get the most for you money. To give you some kind of idea of what to expect, flowers tend to be about 8-10% of an overall wedding budget.

Don't feel restricted by muted tones. Bright, bold colours are starting to enter the modern wedding floral colour palette. And who said the flowers at the reception need to match those at the ceremony?
