Are you coming to manchester meet?? If you are might pick your brains more then!!! |
Sorry for delay Beverley, been off line for a while - hope you've found a florist - if not get booked - you can always sort out fine detail nearer the time.
Red and purple, great mix - add a dash of lime, perfect !!
Lillies, roses, freesia in season, check with florist re availability for Lavender - you might just stretch the season.
'Grand Prix' and 'Passion' are great red roses, consider use of Eyngium thistle, Lissianthus (my favourite) Veronica, and Trachellium - all purple flowers.
Think about the shape of the bouquet and how you would handle it i.e are you a someone who gesticulates alot, lots of hugs etc where a long trailing teardrop would just get in the way. If so - look at chunky hand-tieds, the florist can always add length and detail with grasses and fern and sparkles of course !!
For the girls, what about a wrist corsage - doesnt have to be loads of flowers, decorated handbags maybe, or if they are wearing a wrap a spangly/pretty brooch which can be a keep sake afterwards.
Stick wedding flowers in Google Uk and you'll get stacks of ideas.
Good Luck - if I can be of any other assistance , let me know xx
