54 “We are seeing more and more couples looking to make sustainable choices in their weddings. Couples want to know where their flowers are coming from, with many moving away from the heavy footprint of imported flowers and opting for locally grown British blooms instead. They are keen for their wedding florist to be making eco-conscious choices too, such as being floral foam (a single-use plastic) free or composting all their green wedding waste.” – Rebecca from Lilac and Lace Floral Design. www.nickisflorist.co.uk www.jameseldridgephotography.com and www.louiseroots.com “Large displays arranged in bucket-filled frames and table flowers secured into moss and chicken wire, avoiding floral foam, are popular. Couples are trying to include environmentally mindful British flowers and locally sourced seasonal flowers where possible.” – Louise from Louise Roots Wedding & Event Florist. “Here at Nicki’s Florist, we are passionate about what we do, from hand-tied gifts to beautiful bespoke bridal bouquets with roses, peonies, dahlias, and other seasonal flowers.” – The team at Nicki’s Florist. “Large statement pieces are popular right now. Grand backdrops, romantic urn arrangements, gazebo displays and arches filled with wild English foliage and larger blooms such as roses, peonies, delphiniums, scented stocks and hydrangeas.” – Louise from Louise Roots Wedding & Event Florist. “Unstructured designs such as wild and whimsical bouquets, table settings and meadow aisle flowers are popular. As are relaxed and informal designs arranged with soft pastel and vibrant contrasting colour schemes. Flower varieties of delphinium, soft ammi, sweet peas, cosmos, orlaya and scented garden roses are also on-trend. Wild tablescapes and bud vases nestled between lots of romantic candles with rustic wood, pretty linen and embroidered napkins would complete the look.” – Louise from Louise Roots Wedding & Event Florist. “Dried wedding flowers are becoming increasingly popular as couples search for sustainable options that can be enjoyed into the future. When dried wedding flowers are taken care of, they can last for many years, making them a great option for couples looking to display their flowers after the wedding or to give to their guests as gifts.” – Sasha from Essentially Hops. www.sarahrookphotography.co.uk and www.louiseroots.com https://luciewatsonphotography.com and www.lilac-and-lace.co.uk www.emmacollyer.com and www.louiseroots.com www.essentiallyhops.co.uk
