WEDDING FLOWERS AND BOUQUETS – TIPS AND IDEA

There’s nothing quite like bountiful, blooming flowers to add an air of romance to your wedding day. Whether you’re looking for simple arrangements and a modest bouquet, or dream of lavish floral displays for each part of your wedding, flowers are the ultimate styling element.

They imbue your day with colour, and if you’re using fresh flowers, add a gorgeous natural scent. Flowers are also a beautiful way to carry your theme from your ceremony by matching bouquets, arch flowers and aisle décor with table centrepieces and floral displays at your reception.

They are a significant part of your wedding décor so you should do your research and work with a skilful and creative professional floral designer that understands what you want. But before you look for your florist (hint: start at the Modern Wedding directory!) do your research and get inspired!

Start by learning what flowers will be in season for your date then get inspired by the many different floral designs are out there! Modern Wedding has tips and articles on the freshest floral trends, from table centrepieces to bouquets to wearing flowers in your hair. Get ready to be inspired to create the most beautiful, floral affair ever!
