Your London Wedding - Page number 56 - November/December 2021 (Issue 80)

RUTH DONOGHUE, MIMI FLEUR “I love creating an imaginative winter wonderland centrepiece for the most impressive tablescape. To create drama, combine elevated candles with seasonal flowers and foliage. Use accents of silver foliage with flowers, such as scented winter stock, snowy white amaryllis and fragrant narcissism and place all them in multiple bud vases to showcase their delicate qualities. For a more traditional festive extravaganza, use lashings of evergreen winter foliage to decorate the rooms or spaces in your venue where your guests are most likely to be and add some traditional festive decor in your getting-ready room for those all-important bridal prep photos. Green festive garlands with deep red roses can be placed on surfaces, such as fireplaces, wrapped around pillars and bannisters, draped around mirrors, and hung above tapestries and paintings. Then for a luxurious feel, hang a statement wreath on your venue’s front door that makes a welcoming first impression for your seasonal celebrations.” http://mimifleur.co.uk MICHELLE BROOM, OCCASIONS AND CELEBRATIONS “As a florist in the winter months I love using rich mulberry tones with dusty pink to add a softer touch. Teaming the flowers with scented foliage such as eucalyptus and pine cones creates a timeless yet modern look.” www.occasionsweddingflowers.co.uk CATHERINE FOXELL, FLORAL EVOLUTION “My favourite winter flowers are anemones, ranunculus and paperwhites. I love these blooms as they’re delicate, ethereal and stunning. The ranunculus gets better with age and the masses of ruffled petals is unlike any other. To finish the look I’d use eucalyptus. Its blue-green colour and wonderful smell makes this a versatile popular foliage for winter weddings. There are many varieties and one of my favourites is eucalyptus parvifolia, which is a bit greener in appearance and has smaller leaves.” www.floralevolutionflowers.com https://jeffo liverphotography.com https://jeffo liverphotography.com https://jeffo liverphotography.com https://jeffo liverphotography.com https://ww w.weheartpictures.com 56
