Your wedding deserves to be personal 07525 084 850 • www.bloomingreatflorist.co.uk Where flowers make you smile Kaleido Weddings and Tom Cullen Photography. Bethany Coley from Bloomin’ Great in Shoreham-by-Sea tells us how to let your love story shine through your flowers Your love story is unique, so you want your wedding to reflect that. Your big day should be anything but generic. You communicate this through your flowers by reflecting on your journey as a couple. They could be reminiscent of your first meeting, a favourite holiday, a special place or even your favourite meals. It all speaks volumes about the small details that make up your personalities. Go beyond your colour palette by thinking of special flowers that you might like to include or incorporating scented flowers such as roses or jasmine to evoke special memories and create an experience for the senses. Floral style can also showcase your personalities. Natural, garden-inspired arrangements are great for a more laid-back, romantic vibe, while more contemporary or structural designs can have a striking and impactful feel. Your style communicates who you are as a couple, whether it’s minimalist, tropical or traditional. Likewise, we can use flowers to reflect any family traditions by incorporating heirlooms such as ribbons or charms in your bouquet, or flowers that celebrate your cultural heritage. Even beyond the blooms, small touches can be what makes the big day personal: the colour of the ribbon binding or the vases for table arrangements, for example. This all comes from having a conversation with your chosen florist. Discussing your thoughts, ideas and styles gives us an idea of who you are as a couple. For me, nothing beats an inperson consultation for getting a real feel for how you’d like to be represented on your big day. Your florist can then use these ideas throughout your whole wedding, from bouquets and buttonholes to centrepieces and installations. Let your floral story shine.
