A wedding can involve many many flowers. I love flowers and am personally a big fan of the real thing! (The ‘silk’ vs ‘real’ debate can be left for another time!)

The typical arrangements of flowers used for a wedding are:

Bridal Bouquet

Bridesmaid’s Bouquets

The bridesmaid’s bouquet can compliment the bride’s bouquet by using similar textures- like this arrangement by Rachel Read Florist

Your flowers, where they go and what you choose is simply limited by your imagination (and the season!) The possibilities are endless- bouquets can be a posy or a trailing one. Flower girls can hold flower balls or a basket of petals- that’s just the beginning! Flowers are a beautiful way to add colour, scent and style to any wedding.
