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!
