sodburyflorist.co.uk | fearphotography.com Dark and rich “I’d create arrangements to include David Austin roses, dahlias, astilbe, moth orchids, cappuccino roses and succulents with jasmine foliage to set it off.” – Amy Curtis-Whitfield, The Sodbury Florist “For this, your must-have list should include dark red ruffled roses, dahlias, cosmos, berries and safari sunsets. Rich colours bring warmth and romance to the day, so embrace the spirit of the season with cranberry, clove and crimson complemented by luxurious greenery.” – Wendy Symes, Flowers by Wendy “This is perfect for the couple who want a feast for the senses in both sight and smell. How about a beautiful wedding arch decorated in fresh or everlasting blooms, dried fruits, spices, cinnamon sticks and trailing ivy?” – Anya Hutchinson, Flowers by Anya “Think sumptuous red, orange and burgundy tones for a warming feel to the day. Typically suited to the autumn and winter months, you could include seasonal dahlias, Chinese lanterns and an abundance of berries, foliage and twigs for texture.” – Lisa Elliott, Lisa Elliott Floral Design “For a dramatic feel, I’d use exotic deep red king protea as my key flower and surround it with almost- black dahlias and amaranthus, while a pop of colour comes from nigella or cornflowers. Dark foliage from purple beech and smokebush will add a mystical vibe.” – Jennifer Owen, Goldfinch Floral Studio flowerpreservationworkshop.co.uk flowersbyanya.co.uk | vocaleyesphotography.com lisa-elliott.co.uk goldfinchfloralstudio.co.uk | facebook.com/fotografjanniebjorn meganlilyfloraldesign.co.uk weddingflowersbywendy.co.uk CONTACT OUR EXPERTS: Wendy Symes | Flowers by Wendy | weddingflowersbywendy.co.uk Rachel Ruddle | Flower Preservation Workshop | flowerpreservationworkshop.co.uk Anya Hutchinson | Flowers by Anya | flowersbyanya.co.uk Jennifer Owen | Goldfinch Floral Studio | goldfinchfloralstudio.co.uk Lisa Elliott | Lisa Elliott Floral Design | lisa-elliott.co.uk Megan Troughton | Megan Lily Floral Design | meganlilyfloraldesign.co.uk Amy Curtis-Whitfield | The Sodbury Florist | sodburyflorist.co.uk Kim Fear | Kimberley’s The Florist | kimberleystheflorist.co.uk kimberleystheflorist.co.uk FLOWERS 67
