Your South Wales Wedding - July/August 2022 (Issue 86)

MEET RHIAN REES FROM WILD AND FABULOUS FLOWERS wildandfabulousflowers@gmail.com | www.wildandfabulousflowers.com The pandemic has meant that people have spent more time outside and this has resulted in a shift towards more seasonal flowers. More couples are asking where their flowers come from. When British flowers are available, we try to use local farmers where possible. Re-purposing your flowers is also important. Why not use the church flowers on the bar table or place meadow troughs along the aisle and then along the top table? Brides are looking for bouquets full of texture that are light and joyful and have movement and scent. It’s important to remember that flowers make your wedding photographs come alive. Beautiful hand-tied silk ribbons that float in the breeze look amazing in portrait shots. This year I am seeing far less coffees and creams. There has been a shift towards larger displays and installations. Church porches decorated with big displays, huge urns full of blooms, flower clouds, arches and big table garlands. They all create the most amazing atmosphere and are the perfect backdrops for photographs. My prediction for 2023 and 2024 will be the trailing bouquet and flower headbands rather than flower crowns. www.grahamdaviesphotography.co.uk www.michellehuggleston.com www.michellehuggleston.com www.heartfulloftea.com 48
