The latest flower trends WILD AND romantic www.flowerology.co.uk www.twiggflowers.co.uk and www.sarahbartleetphotography.co.uk www.flowerology.co.uk www.twiggflowers.co.uk and www.sarahbartleetphotography.co.uk “The all-dried flower trend is halting now, and I’m finding that if dried materials are requested, it’s now in conjunction with fresh flowers. We’re seeing a mixture of these two styles, particularly in a warm, peachy colour scheme. The colour lilac/mauve is also creeping into couples’ arrangements.” – Caroline from Flowerology. “For flowers that look their best and have a real impact, see what’s currently in season. Autumn has some amazing options such as dahlias, gladioli, anemone crocosmia and cosmos, and you could also incorporate berries, seed heads and grasses. It’s the time for harvest, so you can go to town on edible elements within your floral designs.” – Megan from Twigg Floral Design. With so many beautiful flowers available, it can be difficult to decide on a theme or colour scheme. To help, we’ve asked local florists to send in their top tips and 2023 trend predictions. www.sorelladecor.co.uk www.sorelladecor.co.uk and www.charlottemailphotography.co.uk “To ensure your flowers look their best, it’s important to pick options that are in season. To create a winter-inspired wedding, look for delicate ranunculus, camellia and anemones and pair these with berries to create a festive feel. Foliage is also important, use brunia, silver eucalyptus and pine cones, but don’t be afraid to incorporate spruce to create a winter wonderland.” – Kerry from Sorella Florist & Event Stylist. 46
