Celebrate<br />
in colour<br />
Dare to be different. That’s the prompt from<br />
wedding planners for brides who want<br />
their big day to be timeless yet trendy.<br />
Roses remain the wedding flower of choice, but unlike previous years, this year’s<br />
brides (and wedding planners) are favouring bouquets, arrangements and<br />
installations that pop with colour, yet are natural and organic.<br />
According to wedding planners, bold and vibrant colours resonate with<br />
couples who want a wedding that celebrates their story and their individuality.<br />
Bright colours are energising and joyful, what better way to celebrate the most<br />
memorable day of their lives, says rose grower Ludwig Taschner.<br />
Bouquets that seem freshly gathered from the garden evoke a sense of simplicity<br />
and spontaneity.<br />
Unlike traditional rose bouquets that usually feature a single colour, the latest<br />
trend offers space to play with different coloured roses. Combine them with<br />
other much loved garden flowers like baby’s breath, daisies, grasses and other<br />
foliage that also add texture. What could be more personal than incorporating a<br />
bride’s favourite roses, or those that she grew up with in her parent’s garden?<br />
The more colours the better, so feel free to break with convention when<br />
composing your bouquet. The secret is to get the balance right with rose blooms<br />
in complementary colours, offset with organic textures and hints of opulence.<br />
The effect? Both trendy and timeless.<br />
