I always tell my clients. Go for colour first.
It’s especially important when the budget is not opened ended because you’ll open a large door to options that you wouldn’t otherwise have and might be relegated to having a traditional wedding flower in a colour you didn’t want.
Purple and varying shades of it is the colour of the moment and I had the pleasure of making boutonnieres in purples that weren’t roses.
For Elaine and Darshan’s wedding earlier this month, (I’ll feature more flowers from their wedding shortly), we used alstromeria for the boutonnieres which offered the symmetry of the all popular orchid and the colour that seemingly didn’t come in any other flower other than a rose.
