In this bridal bouquet, we used roses and bleached, soft ruscus.” – Adrienne from Battersea Bloem. “During the winter months, there are fewer flowers naturally in season, but this is no reason not to have stunning arrangements on your big day. Combine beautiful seasonal foliage, berries and seed heads to create unique designs with lots of textures and colours that will delight your guests.” – Zoë from Zoë Bidwell Bespoke Flowers. We love flowers here at Your East Anglian Wedding, but with so many gorgeous blooms to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming. To help you create the perfect arrangement, we’ve asked local florists to share their favourite seasonal choices… www.cherylsflowers.co.uk www.jamespowellphotography.co.uk and www.blushandbloomflorals.co.uk Winter “Here the bride wanted to incorporate whites and green into her flowers to highlight the time of year. We used roses, thistles, waxflowers, lisianthus and two types of eucalyptus and salal. Alternative seasonal flowers you could incorporate are eucharis, ornithogalum, protea, snowberries, hypericum along with seasonal foliage.” – Cheryl from Cheryls Flowers. “Use tall arrangements in places with high ceilings.” – Adrienne from Battersea Bloem. “Most couples have no idea what flowers are seasonally available and the truth is you don’t need to know; that’s why you put trust in your suppliers to do what they do best and guide you every step of the way. The first thing you should do when deciding on your flowers is create a moodboard. Use your wedding venue, colour palette and theme as an influence and put all your ideas in one place, so you can visualise what it will look like on the big day.” – Wendy from Blush & Bloom Florals. www.cherylsflowers.co.uk FLOWERS 57
