natural styles for their wedding days. “Wildflowers are the perfect complement, adding a whimsical, romantic accent to your styling,” she shares. “Not only will you be able to have fresh blooms that haven’t travelled miles, but seasonal British flowers also carry lovely scents, whereas those flown from abroad and treated with chemicals won’t. “If you want to use wildflowers, look for a florist who specialises in seasonal British flowers and be sure to ask them for unstructured, wild bouquets and arrangements.” STATEMENT INSTALLATIONS “In 2025, one of the most exciting wedding trends is floral architecture, where flowers and foliage become not just accessories but integral elements of the venue’s design,” Jacqui tells us. “This trend focuses on grand, architectural floral displays that transform venues into immersive, blooming paradises. “Floral installations aren’t just about the visual impact; they also serve as breathtaking focal points and as couples increasingly understand the transformative power of flowers, they’re willing to invest more in their floral budgets to ensure these impactful designs become the centrepiece of their reception. The result is a stunning fusion of nature, creativity, and architecture that elevates the entire wedding experience. For many, the move towards floral architecture isn’t just a trend, it’s about creating an unforgettable, immersive space that fully reflects their story and style.” Sarah says, “If your budget allows, then a statement installation is a great way to express your style and create a gorgeous focal point for your guests. Depending on your venue, there are lots of options from arches to hanging installations. A venue visit with your florist can be a great way to discuss ideas and options to maximise the impact of your installation.” Diane’s cascading waterfall of flowers created a magical statement at Crewe Hall, adding to the grandeur of the most beautiful chapel for an intimate ceremony. “This would be the perfect design for a statement sweetheart table as well. It’s abundant and glorious, yet the flowers on the table are still low enough to ensure the conversation and fun flows.” WEDDINGS AT HOME “There’s a growing resurgence of at-home weddings emerging, offering a unique charm that brings intimacy, personalisation, and a deep connection to the couple’s life and history,” Jacqui says. “At-home weddings allow for creative freedom, transforming a home into a dream wedding venue that truly reflects the couple’s personality. Moving away from traditional white, couples are embracing vibrant, bold colour palettes, inspired by sunsets, gemstones, and high-fashion runways, shifting away from the pastel-dominated schemes of the past. “With colour making a strong comeback, bold pairings like rich terracotta with peony pink and vibrant cerise with burnt orange create striking, modern looks. These customised touches are designed to evoke real emotions, celebrate authentic moments, and tell meaningful stories. “An at-home wedding is more than just a celebration, it’s a beautiful, meaningful story woven with memories and the essence of the place that shaped you. Let’s bring your vision to life with bespoke florals that transform your home into the most magical wedding venue imaginable.” Butterfly Road © www.shrigleyphotography.co.uk Jacqui O © www.marcgartlandphoto.co.uk North & Flower © www.samsparksweddings.co.uk Jacqui O © https://helenwilliamsphotography.co.uk Jacqui O © https://sarahhortonphotography.co.uk North & Flower © www.samsparksweddings.co.uk Butterfly Road © https://frankhenshallphoto.com 47 FLOWERS
