www.facebook.com/hudsonandthompsonflowers “These buttonholes are a fun alternative to freshly dried flowers with a bright pop of colour.” – Andrea from Hudson & Thompson Flowers. www.laurelsilkflorist.com www.margaretmasonfloristpreston.co.uk and www.lesleymeredith.co.uk Accessories www.foragefloristry.co.uk and www.gailsecker.com www.flowerstudiomanchester.co.uk “I think the rose will always be my favourite flower for a buttonhole. This pretty dusky pink rose head is arranged with a delicate cluster of cream gypsophila and sprigs of eucalyptus greenery.” – Laura from Laurel Silk Florist. “This delicate floral necklace was designed for a bridesmaid who didn’t want to carry a bouquet but still wanted to have some flowers. I used miniature blooms, foliage and even tiny succulents so that it matched the rest of the wedding flowers and the neckline of her dress. Almost anything is possible with flowers with a little imagination and skill.” – Alison from The Flower Studio Manchester. “We always swoon over flowers for the little ones because they look so adorable. A favourite accessory and popular choice, especially for flowergirls is a crown or circlet. This design was made using delicate baby’s breath.” – Margaret from Margaret Mason Florist.

I particularly love this one and how it complements the older bridesmaids.” – Jemma from Forage Floristry. FLOWERS 51
