Your North West Wedding- October/November 2020 (Issue 64)

Be inspired by couples’ big-day flowers FLORAL “We had a beautiful wisteria tree from Creative Events placed above the ceremony table with candles hanging from it.” – Real couple, Laura and Samuel. “We decided to have beautiful autumnal flowers. We selected seasonal options and placed them in rustic wooden boxes with fairylights. We loved the colours, and the finished result looked great.” – Real couple, Charlotte and Jack. “Our flowers and hanging foliage were from Honeys Hideaway. We chose blush pink blooms with O’Hara roses and sweet avalanche roses. Stef was great at adding texture and depth to the arrangements using silver bruni and a mixture of senecio foliage.” – Real couple, Natalie and Tom. “Our centrepieces and flowers were made by Efflorescence. The centrepieces were a combination of baby’s breath and floating candles. The team also made our bouquets, buttonholes, aisle runners and arch.” – Real couple, Kate and Matthew. B looms are a great way of incorporating your colour scheme, theme or time of year into your décor.

I love dahlias in the autumn, peonies in the summer, big- headed red roses in the winter and tulips and sweet peas in the spring.” – Florist, Kate Harvey from Fabulous Flowers and Events. “I find classic whites and greens create a strong impression. Flowers that work particularly well in floral arches are roses. Look for traditional ivory options or versions like Rosalind, secret garden or David Austin. These paired with hydrangeas, astilbes, Jasmine, and clematis look stunning.” – Florist, Emma Currie from Efflorescence. www.efflo rescence.co.uk and www.nikimillsphotography.co.uk www.hon eyshideaway.com and www.laur awad ephotography.co.uk FLOWERS 43
