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

“Our flowers were sunflowers, daisies, thistles, eucalyptus and roses from The Bloom Room.” – Real couple, Jo and Gareth. “We chose to have a loose The Lord of the Rings theme for our big day. The flowers contained a lot of greenery to help us bring the outside in. I wanted a giant flower crown that reminded me of the May Day festival.” – Real couple, Maria and David. “For our flowers, we chose roses, peonies and foliage from The Rose Boutique. I also had a single yellow rose in my bouquet as it was my granddad’s favourite. The company was amazing, and the blooms were more than we could have asked for.” – Real couple, Hollie and Jack. “Elliott and I purchased a hanging Edison bulb chandelier provided by Roseberry Floral Design that looked stunning.” – Real couple, Emma and Elliott. www.kare nashop.co.uk and www.sim onhugh esphotography.uk “Frothy white foliage, moss and verdant greenery make for luscious wedding arches. These work best at large venues but could easily overpower a more modest church.” – Florist, Emma from Efflorescence. “I love making someone’s day, whether it be a birthday surprise, sending flowers off to a loved one or sharing a clients wedding day. The bouquet I have liked making the most has to be for my own wedding. I got to choose my flowers and do them my way. I adored them so much that I’ve had them preserved and mounted into a frame.” – Florist, Kate from Fabulous Flowers and Events. www.bloo mweddings.co.uk and Roseberry Floral De sign www.face book.com/nickysbloomroom and www .claregelderdphotography.co.uk https://fabu lousflowersandevents.co.uk and www.pa ulswi ftphotography.com www.efflo rescence.co.uk www.ther oseboutique.co.uk and www.cath ybrown photography.co.uk TOP TIPS ❤ Think about where you’re going to place your flowers as some blooms don’t like to be in and out of water for any length of time and may end up wilting. Discuss the options with your florist carefully before choosing a style. ❤ Establish a good relationship with your florist. Be honest about your budget, and they’ll be able to advise and guide you with the most suitable choices. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, after all, it’s not every day you get married. ❤ Flowers can be used in your hair, jewellery and veil. Ask your hairstylist if they have any quirky ideas and look on social media for inspiration. ❤ It’s important your big-day blooms look amazing but also take into consideration the fragrance. There are lots of fragrant herbs available that can be incorporated into your design to add interest and smell. 44
