Another glorious weekend, another beautiful wedding..... every wedding is special, unique and beautiful, and as a wedding florist, Floribundi just love it when the flowers bring all the plans together. Some brides come with very specific ideas, pantone colours, fabric swatches and a plethora of images cut from magazines, and some just come and say "I don't really know much about flowers" - that's what makes our job so satisfying, taking those blank expressions, collected ideas and everything in between and creating that special touch to the day with beautiful blooms and heavenly scents.

This year we have definitely seen some distinctive "trends", one being vintage - a gorgeous theme to interpret with flowers such as; vintage roses, huge hydrangea heads, tuberrose and touches of vintage jewels. Some specific roses I would recommend if this is the look you are trying to create is Memory lane - a soft pinky lilac that has the most amazing full bloom as it opens fully and then hypnose a dirty pink/brown which coupled with crisp cream or pink creates a fabulous vintage feel, at the moment there are of course wonderful peonies too, with their blousy petals and pastel shades, perfect for that vintage feel. To really bring in the vintage feel, for your "something borrowed" how about getting a broach from an older relative and using it to create that special feature on your hand tied bouquet - this is such a personal touch and really works, just don't forget to remove the broach before you throw the bouquet and it's gone to the next hopeful bride !! - to finish the vintage look - don't forget candles, candles, candles........

Whilst we talk colour, one wedding that really sticks in our minds for pushing the boundary on colour and really working was hot pink and orange - this was achieved by using two types of rose - Cherry Brandy - a gorgeous orange and pink rose and Milano an equally gorgeous dark pink rose. So don't be afraid to think outside the box, nature made our gardens in every shade of colour and not many clash when it comes to flowers... so talk to your florist about colours and the complimentary options on the colour wheel and what flowers will bring warmth, youth or sentiment to your chosen theme.
Flowers are our passion, and we love taking your ideas and bringing them to life for your big day, we treat every wedding like it was our own, paying attention to every last detail, beit colour, sentiment, environment and theme, and making sure you maximise your budget on flowers whilst maximising their impact - flowers can take a room from bland to grand and we love that journey.

A word from Mark & Tris.
A big thank you to Tracey from Floribudi for sharing her great ideas about wedding flowers, we worked with Tracey last year and were very impressed with her flowers they were just perfect and we lost count of the adoring comments from guests throughout the day!
We stumbled across some interesting articles about the meanings behind using certain flowers and they're worth a look, we think this will be more and more popular in coming years especially as Kate Middleton went in for making sure her flora all had relevance for the Royal Wedding.
