Fable Flowers, Buckinghamshire The team are seeing a resurgence of smaller more delicate bridal bouquets. Textural and airy, the petite garden-style bouquet is all about quality over quantity. This means ditching heavy greenery and opting for delicate grasses teamed with pretty focal flower varieties such as cosmos, scabious and clematis. Expect bright, bold colour palettes this summer, particularly a bright mix of orange and coral set off against deep purple and lilac hues. This works particularly well in mid-to-late summer with dahlias, garden roses, delphiniums and clematis all in season. Remember that bright colour themes balanced well can still look refined and elegant. Early summer brings a bounty of seasonal flowers and colours. The florists at Fable Flowers love working with textural blooms such as ammi, larkspur, scabious and nigella which all add an element of interest, giving that magical element to a bouquet.
