The possibilities are endless…It’s one of the many reasons why I love what I do.

I believe that every consideration for florals can be created to reflect the vision and style for the wedding day.

Naturally, one of the most focal and personal parts of the flowers are the bouquets especially bridal bouquet and they should be a visual stylistic reflection of the bride who carries the blooms.

This bouquet wrapped in variegated leaves were the perfect touch for Marlene who wanted a balance between classic elegance with a touch of a modern boldness.

Any good designer knows that good health is not the only thing that fruits and vegetables are wonderful for.

They can be an amazing element in  floral design because they are able to add another level of texture and colour to an arrangement or bouquet in a way that a flower just can’t.

Here are some elements from the produce aisle to consider in your list of fresh item wants:

• apples
• oranges and limes
• grapes
• artichokes
• cabbage
• any kind of berry

Diamonds, crystals or any kind of glitter for that matter when used in just the right way and amount can add that little pop that can make any decorative or floral element of a wedding sparkle.

Here are a few places where they can be used:

• bouquets
• centerpieces
• backdrops and head table decor

Here I’ve used them to completely fill the vase for a centerpiece.

Happy New Year!

Each new year signifies the chances to start fresh and get back to basics and to that end, I’ll spend time in the next little while writing about all things wedding flower that as a designer that I take for granted, but would probably be helpful and “new” for you to know.

Stay tuned!
