Your Cheshire and Merseyside Wedding - Page number 48 - May/June 2021 (Issue 57)

48 7 BOUQUETS Probably the first thing that springs to mind when we think of wedding flowers, and the most traditional. Your bouquet is a way to reflect your personality by choosing your favourite blooms and those that hold special meaning to you. Reflect your theme and the season by carefully selecting the style from free and easy meadow to formal glamour. We love these creations by Boujee Boxes and Flowers at the Dutch Barn. Boujee Boxes 8 SELF-RAISING FLOWER Decorating your big-day bake with blooms to match your arrangements ties it together nicely with the rest of your styling. If you’re nervous about using fresh flowers, why not ask your cake-maker to replicate them in sugar paste or adorn the cake table with an arrangement transferred from the ceremony? 10 CHIT CHAT At a banqueting- style reception with long tables a floral runner laid down the centre makes a gorgeous alternative to traditional centrepieces, and means guests can be sociable. If you’re sitting at round tables however, you can still ensure unimpeded chit chat by opting for raised arrangements with clear bases like this one by Booker Flowers & Gifts, which almost looks like it’s floating. https://sarahbrookesphotography.com 6 BLOOMIN’ BACKDROP Flower walls offer a breathtaking focal point for the top table and a background for the speeches. Reposition later as a backdrop to your guests’ super-fun red-carpet arrival style shots. 9 PEW COMPLETE ME Sweet little posies of flowers tied to pew ends in a church or aisle ends in your venue’s ceremony space are a lovely finishing touch. Alternatively, to achieve the romantic feel of walking through a fragrant meadow towards your intended, opt for something more substantial such as these beauties by Flowers at the Dutch Barn, which can be transported to the reception space after the ceremony. www.littlevintagephotography.co.uk https://jessypapasavvaphotography.com for Flowers at the Dutch Barn
