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

“We love seeing couples celebrate the changing of the seasons with their wedding flower choice, and spring is one of our favourites. Seasonal flowers include hyacinths, sweet peas, Lily of the valley and freesias. Not forgetting favourites like tulips, daffodils, and forget-me-nots which all add fantastic texture to bouquets and centrepieces.” – Maxine from Chair Cover Dreams. www.chaircoverdreams.co.uk “Sweet peas, peonies and roses are the go-to flowers for fragrance and style this season. David Austin Roses are renowned for their perfume and cottage garden look, but make sure you have a healthy budget if these are on your wish list!” – Paula from Floral Alchemy. “Spring bouquets are all about scent, as this is when flowers, such as paperwhites, hyacinths and muscari come into season. The colours also become lighter and more feminine compared to the blooms from the previous months, so start to think about pastels hues, such as blush, powder blue, buttermilk and lilac.” – Hannah from Hannah Martin Flowers. www.floralalchemy.co.uk www.hannahmartin.net www.chaircoverdreams.co.uk www.hannahmartin.net “Seasonal flowers are a joy! Scent is key in spring, with narcissi, hyacinth and blossom all at their best. Tulips are in abundance, with colours and shapes to complement every floral design.” – Paula from Floral Alchemy. “Many wedding flowers are available all year round, including favourites such as roses, carnations and orchids. However, many other floral favourites have a limited season, among them are some of the most beautiful summer options. From dainty little blooms such as sweet peas to primadonnas such as peonies and dahlias.” – Maxine from Chair Cover Dreams. “Early summer sees the blowsy flowers such as peonies and garden roses at their best, so wedding bouquets are full of ruffles and frills. An abundance of delicately-scented herbs also become available. You could introduce rosemary, mint and flowering basil for an additional scented element.” – Hannah from Hannah Martin Flowers.
