Your West Midlands Wedding- August/September 2020 (Issue 69)

“Create a warm and vibrant look with hot pinks and oranges. You can use a deep purple to break up the tones. I would opt for gerberas and lilies mixed with hot pink roses. If your bridesmaids are wearing a bold hue, you may prefer to go with a softer tone for your flowers such as jewel blue delphiniums mixed with creamy yellow or cerise roses with lilac lisianthus.” – Pauline from Posies Florist. “Bright or multi-coloured flowers are much easier to match than a specific shade. You could also dress all the bridesmaids in different hues to tie in with your bright and bold theme.” – Suzanne from Suzanne Evetts Florist. Roses make a bold statement. Dyed versions are available in unusual colours such as blue and black. Tall centrepieces are more visible than lower versions and will add a softer tone to the space. “For a happy, vibrant theme you can’t go wrong with sunflowers. They can’t help but make you smile and are perfect for summer weddings. Team it with pretty tanacetum, gypsophila, blue delphiniums and eucalyptus.” – Lesley from Hello Petal. It’s important your big-day blooms look amazing but also take into consideration the fragrance. There are lots of herbs available that can be incorporated into your design to add interest and smell.
