Romantic, Vintage Wedding Flowers for 2012

It seems that this year the trend for wedding flowers is Romantic and Vintage which means flowers with a hand picked appearance similar to those found in an English garden like roses, peonies, ranunculus, hydrangeas, lisianthus, lovely spring daisies and big blousy blooms.

Wedding bouquets are still very much hand tied with clusters of flower groupings and a greater use of cool grey/green foliage such as Dusty Miller and Senecio.  Feathers are also being added to give movement and come in a huge range of colours to complement your theme.

Staying with the romantic theme, there will be more creative detailing on the bouquet handle - covered with a variety of ribbons, damask fabrics, layered and finished with vintage pins, brooches, rhinestones and pearls.

Staying with the sphere, we'll be seeing topiary like designs transferring to table centrepieces and ceremony arrangements.  Displayed as hanging pomander balls using colourful blocks of carnations, roses, hydrangeas and daisies or placed on top of large urns or glass cylindrical glass vases.

Also, multiple and variations of smaller vases lining the centre of long reception tables and lots of branches adorned with smaller flowers in elegant ceramic dishes and vases.
