What’s not to love? “When choosing your wedding flowers, it’s always best to select those that are available in season. Eucalyptus is at its best in winter, along with skimmia, mimosa, witch hazel, pussy willow and asparagus ferns, along with some fabulous berries such as hypericum and ivy. Rose hips are aplenty and of course there are some lovely pine foliage and grasses available. Remember: many flowers are grown commercially and are available ‘year round’, but anemones, fritillaria, hellebores (Christmas Rose), hyacinths, muscari, ranunculus, snowdrops and lilac are all seasonal. “When consulting with your florist, share with them as much information about your vision for your day, where you will marry and hold your wedding breakfast. An experienced florist will be able to guide you on how to add flowers to create your vision, from your bouquets, buttonholes and ceremony table designs, to arches and hanging displays using a colour palette of flowers purchased for your day.” Visit www.amegafleur.co.uk for more information. https://shiannemercerphotography.com www.ctaylorsfloristry.co.uk https://floraanddaisy.com https://www.jessicamoorephotography.co.uk https://lunaroseflorist.co.uk www.facebook.com/magicalmomentsphotog https://poppydotsflorists.co.uk www.amegafleur.co.uk www.laceyseventservices.com 63 FLOWERS
