GOING FOR GOLD
Embrace the luxe look of gold. As Olympics mania hits British shores, gold is a fitting, not to mention, glorious aesthetic for your wedding blooms. Think lots of cream and white flowers adorned with gold accents and spilling from containers laced with glinting detail.

BESPOKE BLOOMS
Lend a pretty and personalised twist to your wedding flowers with these top florist's tips...
For a chic and oh-so vintage sense of continuity, work lace from your mother or grandmother's wedding dress into the design of your bouquet.
Incorporate jewels into your flowers, such as vintage bracelets or brooches that have been passed down through generations of your family. Maybe even pin a brooch to the handle of the bouquet as a novel and meaningful twist on your 'something borrowed'.
Use flowers that mean something to you: for example, a flower your grandmother used to grow. The scent will bring back memories as well as look beautiful on the day.
Have your initials, and those of your groom, threaded into your bouquet. Choose diamante initials for a glinting and gorgeous look.
For a playful, modern statement, weave buttons and trinkets that reflect your wedding theme or personality into your arrangements
Make like Kate Middleton and choose flowers according to their symbolic meanings, e.g. roses for love, baby's breath for innocence, sweet pea for pleasure and lily of the valley for happiness.
