Ethereal florals in soft pastels and delicate textures set the tone for a dreamy celebration. Think billowing roses, anemones, fluttery sweet peas and cascading greenery for an effortlessly elegant look. Blush, peach and ivory hues blend beautifully for timeless appeal, while wispy arrangements and trailing ribbons add a touch of whimsy. Whether it’s a floral arch or bouquet of delicate blooms, soft romantic florals bring an air of enchantment to your day.

Florists are redefining floral design with strikingly beautiful installations. Think suspended floral masterpieces – lush arrangements floating from ceilings or arches, creating depth and drama. Imagine a cascading canopy of roses or foliage-rich designs dripping with glittering disco balls.

BESPOKE BLOOMS

Make your wedding flowers as unique as your love story. Florists Hannah Burge of Fuss Pots, Vicki Bampfield of The Woodland Atelier and Perdita Griffith-Gilham of Perdie’s Flowers share their top tips for bringing a personal touch to your wedding flowers

Make it meaningful
“Florists love nothing more than creating something unique and special! Don’t be afraid to ask your florist to incorporate a personal element into your bouquet or arrangements – so much is possible! I’ve included everything from photos of loved ones and vintage lace from a grandmother’s dress to Lego tulips and even sprouts!” Hannah

Colour inspiration
“Find a beautiful painting with a colour palette you love and use that as your starting point for your florals. It’s a great way to create something unique and visually stunning.” Vicki

Blooms by month
“Every month has a flower, so consider incorporating blooms that align with your wedding date, engagement month or even the season you first met.” Perdita

Stay true to you
“Let your personality shine – choose colours, flowers and styles that you truly love. Don't just follow trends that come and go; opt for blooms you have always adored and always will. The most memorable weddings are the ones that feel deeply personal.” Hannah

A nostalgic touch
“Incorporate flowers that evoke happy memories – perhaps a childhood favourite from your garden or a bloom that reminds you of a special place or person.” Vicki

Let your flowers tell a story
“One of my favourite weddings involved a couple who had travelled the world together. To reflect their journey, we designed the table plan around different countries, incorporating each nation’s native flowers into the décor. It was a fantastic icebreaker and a beautiful personal touch. Think about ways to weave your story into your florals for a truly unique experience.” Perdita

Signature scents
“Choose some scented blooms that will transport you back to your wedding day every time you smell them. Old-fashioned roses and sweet peas are highly fragrant options.” Vicki

Seasonal beauty
“Where possible, keep it seasonal. Think about what’s growing in your garden, in local hedgerows or at a place that’s meaningful to you. Locally sourced flowers aren’t just more planet-friendly – every anniversary, you’ll see them growing all around you and be reminded of your special day.” Hannah

Herbal elegance
“Add herbs like rosemary for ‘love and everlasting memories’ – not only do they carry symbolic meaning, but they also smell wonderful! Mint and fennel also work well in bouquets and tablescapes.” Vicki
