We receive flowers on any number of occasions,
as a demonstration of love, to congratulate us or
cheer us up when things aren’t going our way. Your
wedding bouquet is not only a gorgeous accessory
but a reflection of your personal style. Florists are
artisans well versed in the language of flowers here they share their tips on creating and caring for
your perfect posy.
1.
Create a modern look by introducing
texture into your arrangement.
Foliage is a simple way to add interest
and make your budget go further.
Incorporating unique, sculptural
stems such as berries, succulents or
lotus pods is also a great option that
will make your bouquet pop.
Tap into your florist’s creativity by
requesting a general colour palette
or aesthetic rather than specific
stems. Working with seasonal
blooms not only ensures they are
suited to the climate, but will help
save on costs.
2.
You’ll be carrying and posing with your
bouquet for quite a few hours on the day.
Ask your florist to give an indication of
how heavy your arrangement will be, as
different floral choices and designs can
change the weight and stem thickness
substantially.
