This design included a mix of peonies, roses and Lily of the valley, which are some of my favourite spring and summer flowers.” – Laura MacPherson from Laurel Silk Florist. “I adore this bouquet, it’s so elegant, relaxed and stylish. I’ve used as many seasonal flowers as possible such as ranunculus, white sweet peas and foraged rowan flowers. These are then accompanied by David Austin patience and beautiful bridal flow spray roses.” – Jemma Khan from Forage Floristry. “This bouquet was left up to me apart from the couple’s requested addition of protea. The wedding was on the hottest day of 2021 and the bouquet matched the weather perfectly. Whilst you can’t guarantee the sun will shine on your big day, you can set the tone with your flowers.” – Alison Cooper from The Flower Studio Manchester. “As a florist, it’s hard to pick a favourite bridal bouquet – however, time and time again, we come back to this bouquet created using stunning phalaenopsis orchids. We love its simple elegance, defined structure and cascading style.” – Margaret Mason from Margaret Mason Florist. www.facebook.com/hudsonandthompsonflowers FLOWERS 49
