EMMA SOULSBY Emma Soulsby Flowers, www.emmasoulsbyflowers.com Seasonal blooms… If you’re going to get married in the winter, embrace the theme, work with your florist and stick to seasonal flowers, so go for winter/spring blooms. I love a Clooni Ranunculus and Italian Anemones. Foliage… Winter weddings that embrace foliage are always my favourite. There’s such an abundance of different cut pines available in so many wonderful tones, deep greens and greys and all with such a wonderful fragrance. The more variation you use the better texture and ultimately the better overall finish you’ll get. Bouquet inspo… Using some of the deep rich velvety blooms available with hints of steel-coloured berries are a real favourite. These always gel well with sand and nude toned blooms. Use lots of different types of textured foliage to really pull your theme together. Venue styling… If you say winter wonderland to me, it conjurers up an image of snowy peaks, icicles and mossy branches so if you’re going for a white winter wedding look, then embrace that. There are lots of beautiful wintery berries and branches with rich deep earthy tones but equally as the flower seasons move slightly ahead of Mother Nature you’ll have an abundance of spring blooms to also choose from. Top tips… Pick a theme that works with and complements your chosen venue, as this will help to enhance the overall look of your day. https://joeshortweddingphotography.com https://gyangurung.com/ https://gyangurung.com/ https://johnnassari.co.uk/ CHERYL PIERCE KC Flowers and Events, www.kcflowerandevents.com Seasonal Blooms… Anemones are great for a wild forestry look. Carnations work well at this time of the year as well as a mix of Baccara Roses Thistle, Hypericum Berry and Callas. What I love about these flowers is their diverse range of colour and the texture they’ll create. Foliage… Berried ivy adds that deep drama and texture and is always so popular. The softer frongs of the Dusty Miller works well in lighter toned bouquets and softer arrangments, while the seeded Eucalyptus adds a dainty element to any arrangment and is super versatile. Bouquet inspo… We love bouquets brimming with rich warm tones and variety of style. Pampas grass is so on trend and great for those rustic, modern, minimalist aesthetics. Venue styling… An inexpensive way to create a winter scene would be to use a selection of winter foliages like blue pine, ivy, and Dusty Miller on tables as runners. You could also add pinecones to create a woody feel and cinnamon sticks for fragrance. Glitter and frosted stick arches are also a brilliant way to add a cool icy feel to your venue. You could also hang crystals and foliage to add a bit of drama. https://joeshortwedding]photography.com 46
