FLOWERS 79 We quizzed the county’s florists on blooms to suit some of the top wedding colour palettes Floral fiesta ▲ What better way to reflect a couple’s romance-inspired theme than with soft pinks and white? Bella of Arabella Floral (arabellafloral.com) explains, “Not only did they choose blooms that had sentimental value to them, but they also wanted their arrangements to smell amazing. So, we included scented favourites like David Austin’s Keira roses, O’Hara roses, sweet peas, freesias and mint.” murrayclarke.co.uk ▲ Annabel of Butterflies and Bows (butterfliesandbows.co.uk) says, “Lovely lilac roses and white lisianthus paired with greenery create a simple yet effective bouquet.” ▲ What a way to make an entrance! “Soft peach, pink and cream meadow-style blooms made for an elegant aisle, with just a hint of burgundy to add interest,” says Sam of The Crazy Daisy Company mundialphoto.co.uk ▲ “Large cream and white flowers such as the Café au Lait dahlia make a great statement, with just a hint of dusky pink and plenty of trailing eucalyptus,” says Sam of The Crazy Daisy Company, @thecrazydaisycompany instagram.com/victoriajklamburn ▲ This pastel colour scheme was created by Chirpee Flowers (chirpee.net ) to coordinate with the bridesmaids’ mint and pink dresses. Pale pink open peonies contrast with accents in a deeper shade to lift the palette, while white dahlias and sweet peas add another accent alongside touches of wild oregano. sungblue.co.uk PALE AND INTERESTING
