-
Autumn: Dahlias, chrysanthemums, berries, autumn foliage

When should I book my wedding florist?
We recommend booking your florist 9-12 months before your wedding, especially if your date falls within peak wedding season (May to September). This gives us ample time to plan, design, and order your flowers.
Can I repurpose ceremony flowers for the reception?
Yes! Reusing arrangements from your ceremony is a great way to save money and reduce waste. Aisle flowers can be moved to decorate the top table, and altar arrangements can frame your cake or photo backdrop.
What are the latest wedding flower trends?
Trends for 2025 include:
-
Bold and moody colour palettes
-
Natural, meadow-style arrangements
-
Dried and fresh flower combinations
-
Statement ceremony backdrops
-
Sustainable floristry (foam-free designs, local sourcing)
How can I personalise my wedding bouquet?
