It’s all about texture and quirkiness. Think harvest field and country verges.” – Jen Stuart-Smith, Blooming Green “Dahlias are trending this autumn. There are so many varieties, shapes, sizes and colours. The café au lait royal, with its cappuccino overtones and thin spiky petals, contrasts well with the salmon hues of happy single kiss, which is a total contrast with dark centres and rounded petals.” – Ali Langlay-Smith, Sissinghurst Flowers IN BLOOM ❤ Belgian chrysanthemum ❤ Calla lily ❤ Carthamus ❤ Celosia ❤ Dahlia ❤ Feverfew ❤ Hydrangea ❤ Salvia ❤ Snowberry ❤ Verbena bonariensis ❤ Veronica Autumn bloominggreenflowers.co.uk TOP TIP Ali says: “If you’re taking your winter arrangements home after the big day, keep them away from sources of direct heat and away from any drafts, and do remember to change the water regularly, not only because the flowers are drinking it but also since it’s evaporating in our warm, centrally heated houses.” CONTACT OUR EXPERTS Blooming Green, bloominggreenflowers.co.uk Charlotte Laurie Designs, charlottelauriedesigns.co.uk Flowers by EG, @flowersbyeg Sissinghurst Flowers, sissinghurstflowers.co.uk Stem by Stem, stembystemflowers.co.uk nickisheaphotography.co.uk for charlottelauriedesigns.co.uk sissinghurstflowers.co.uk IN BLOOM ❤ Amaranthus ❤ Anemone ❤ Eucalyptus ❤ Holly ❤ Hypernicum ❤ Ilex berries ❤ Ivy ❤ Myrtle ❤ Rosemary ❤ Snowberry ❤ Skimmia “Winter trends this year will be cream and green with a hint of silver and lots of texture coming in from sprayed twigs, eryngium, cinnamon sticks, viburnum tinus and fir cones.” – Ali Langlay-Smith, Sissinghurst Flowers “Winter weddings are some of my favourites.
