Flowers are a distinctive feature of every wedding and, when well designed, reflect the character, personality and style of the bride and groom. They enrich the setting for the ceremony and establish the theme for the reception.
Historically a bride carried a bouquet to ward off evil spirits and sometimes evil smells (when it was ok to bathe just once a year). Today, a bridal bouquet is carried to enhance beauty and elegance, and set the occasion apart from any other.
History also tells us of a very different type of bridal party … during the ‘marriage by capture’ era the groom was often assisted by his best mates to fight off the bride’s angry relatives while he kidnapped his bride.
Our contemporary weddings are usually well planned, very special and memorable events, where flowers have an important role in setting the scene and creating an amazing ambience.
The ceremony itself is the most important and formal part of the day. Flowers with their natural warmth of character and beauty create an amazing visual backdrop and enhance the personal space of the bride and groom as they make their life long commitments to each other.
The wedding reception is a unique opportunity for esteemed guests to join with the bride and groom in celebrating their marriage. Floral features enhance any reception and are very effective in creating a warm and friendly atmosphere and a romantic ambience which sets the scene for a wonderful evening.
Your flowers should be unique; they should convey your likes, your personality and your style … and they should make you feel incredibly happy!
