The florist<br />

For a bride getting married in S/S, I would have<br />
to recommend the rose and the calla lily, and for<br />
A/W I would also recommend the rose and the<br />
Vanda orchid. The orchid, with its strong colour,<br />
can be be wired very strikingly in a bridal bouquet.<br />
I also like gypsophila (baby’s breath) as you can<br />
use it as a filler or even on its own for<br />
the bridesmaids.<br />
The rose is my favourite, as it’s the flower meaning<br />
love! With an elegant, versatile style that’s multipurpose<br />
for brides, bridesmaids, button holes and<br />
corsages, it can be used as table decorations and is<br />
a deservedly popular choice for wedding flowers,<br />
due to the huge range of colours and varieties.<br />
The biggest piece of advice I would give to a<br />
bride picking her flowers would be proportion.<br />
If you are a petite bride, have a classy petite<br />
bouquet, and the larger the lady, the bigger her<br />
bouquet can be.<br />

We have worked with a number of bridal designers over the<br />
years and for us it’s really about the combination of listening<br />
to what our brides want, feeling inspired by the designer’s<br />
collection and being aware of the latest trends - without<br />
religiously following them!<br />
Mid-week we can often manage ‘pop-ins’, but we do prioritise<br />
pre-booked appointments to ensure that an experienced bridal<br />
consultant is ready to guide ‘brides-to-be’ through<br />
the extensive collections whilst making the experience<br />
fun, informative and truly tailored to each of our brides’<br />
individuals needs.<br />
As a bridal shop, it is so important to us to offer a wide variety<br />
of styles, shapes, sizes and colours. We usually find a few trends<br />
can be emerging at once, we have some truly romantic tulle<br />
skirted ball-gown dresses to choose from currently, but we<br />
also have some rustic scoop backed ‘boho’ styles that would be<br />
perfect for either a woodland wedding or barefoot on a beach.<br />
