Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - December 2020/Janaury 2021 (Issue 80)

A contemporary-chic wedding “To me, a modern wedding is all about being chic and elegant. Clean lines and a minimal colour palette will let the flowers do the talking. Picture grand, tall blooms such as delphiniums and veronicas, which are a real statement on their own, or pair with hydrangeas for a very contrasting look. You don’t always need a lot of flowers to provide impact.” – Beth Litaunieks, The Midnight Garden “There’s a trend for dried and dyed flowers being used, either instead of or mixed in with fresh blooms. If you have a specific colour in mind, then ask your florist to look into these options for a unique look. We’ve seen amazing candy- pink gypsophila or jet- black pampas grass.” – Jennifer Owen, Goldfinch Floral Studio “For something completely unexpected and wow-worthy, ask your florist to explore what backdrops can be hired for an installation. I love this crescent moon arch by Floral Fabrications; it makes a statement for your ceremony and photos. There are more and more shapes coming on to the market, so if you have a theme such as geometric, celestial, etc., then smaller centrepieces can also be made to reflect these ideas.” – Jennifer Owen, Goldfinch Floral Studio “Go big or go home! If you’re having a contemporary theme, then the flowers need to be bold. Not necessarily in colour, but in style. Try grouping florals togethers with little fuss or fluff to keep the overall look minimal and chic. How about architectural blooms such as anthuriums in peach or chocolate brown or the king protea?” – Jacalyn Dobson, Cottage Flowers C ONTACT OUR EXPERTS: Ja calyn Dobson | Cottage Flowers | www.cottageflowersandmore.co.uk Je nnifer Owen | Goldfinch Floral Studio | www.goldfinchfloralstudio.co.uk B eth Litaunieks | The Midnight Garden | https://midnight-garden.co.uk Rachel Ruddle | Flower Preservation Workshop | www.flowerpreservationworkshop.co.uk www.gold finchfloralstudio.co.uk | w ww.photosbyjim.co.uk FLOWERS 59
