Your Surrey Wedding - December 2022/January 2023 (Issue 98)

Floral fantasy Flowers for every season “Winter conjures up images of frosty bouquets full of anemones and paperwhites. Spruce and pine with cones works well too, as does the lovely structural elegance of the calla lily. All you need to make things perfect is a sprinkle of snow!” – Paula Reeks from Floral Alchemy. We love flowers here at Your Surrey Wedding, but with so many gorgeous blooms to choose from, it can be a bit overwhelming. To help you create the perfect arrangement, we’ve asked local suppliers to send in their favourite seasonal options.

It’s also a great time to incorporate some of the early spring options, such as anemones or ranunculus, which are starting to show their faces, as these are a soft and pretty contrast to the more wintry blooms available.” – Hannah Martin from Hannah Martin Flowers. “It’s true that fewer florals may bloom in the winter months, but that doesn’t mean that you have to compromise on your wedding flowers. Most good florists will work with the time of year, and using seasonal options are better value for money and are a more sustainable choice.” – Maxine Cole from Chair Cover Dreams.
