BOOKER FLOWERS & GIFTS 0151 724 4850 | www.bookerweddings.co.uk Gemma Wakerley says: At Booker Weddings we offer couples planning an outdoor wedding guaranteed freshness and longevity of floral wedding arrangements whether it be hot or cold. We do this by choosing flowers carefully, and would start by finding out your personal likes and dislikes, along with your colour palette. Everything else is at our discretion. This makes things easier for us and we can keep the focus on supplying hardy long-lasting flowers that are going to hold up come rain or shine. We keep our blooms fresh by saturating floral foam well in advance, while fresh water and flower food is added to all our containers before storing the flowers into them. We quick dip all our stems, which is a hydration treatment that improves water uptake and revives tired droopy blooms; we also mist all our flowers once they’re in situ. Gemma’s top tip: Opt for a showstopping arrangement such as a floral arch. This décor serves to welcome guests and provides a gorgeous pre- and post-wedding ceremony photo backdrop, highly recommended for capturing those pictureperfect memories. What’s the best thing about celebrating in the great outdoors versus staying inside? One of the biggest advantages of outdoor weddings is the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds you. Whether you choose a beach, a garden, or a mountain top, the natural setting can provide the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos, but having flowers too will elevate all that nature’s beauty has to offer.
