Floral Trends Summer 2013 Lorraine Hirst of Lol’s Flowers takes us through the latest trends in wedding flowers: Garden roses Many brides are now requesting large-head or cabbage roses for their flower arrangements. Also known as “garden roses”, these gorgeous flowers tend to open very quickly and get their name from their cabbage-like appearance. They can get quite large once in bloom and are a good substitute for the peony if you want to achieve a similar look and “fullness”. If you are more of a traditionalist however, have no fear, the classic rose isn’t going anywhere!
