Wedding Flowers Magazine May / June 2017 Retour à l'édition précédente

This is your five minute warning: we’re going full steam ahead into peak wedding season, meaning it’s time to finalise those last details and to dot the i’s and cross the t’s for your flowers and décor. But worry not, as this issue is simply bursting with new ideas! We have a mini bouquet special this issue – if you’re newly engaged, take our quiz on page 22 to find out which one will go best with your wedding, before working out how your dress and bouquet should complement one another on page 24. Trend wise, we’ve got the low-down on the hottest idea for 2017, greenery, on page 20 – trust us, you need to check it out. We also can’t ignore the fact that we’re coming into peony season (yay!), so we’ve dedicated two pages to these dreamy blooms to give you plenty of inspiration on how to incorporate the beautiful flower into your big day on page 26. Lastly, head to page 28 for our round-up on some of the best floral hen parties up and down the country... the only problem will be choosing which one to go to! I couldn’t help but notice something interesting when curating our gorgeous real life weddings – blue hues were popping up everywhere. Whether it was incorporated into the flowers or the bridesmaids were wearing it, it seems the ‘something blue’ tradition has been taken very literally. With this in mind, we have focused on this fresh, chic tone on pages 8 and 60, so you can also add the colour of 2017 into your nuptials. Lastly, head to floral nirvana from page 69, where we’ve teamed up with some of the best florists the UK has to offer – their creativity never fails to amaze me and I’m so pleased that we get to showcase all of their hard work in our glossy pages. Before I go – head to page 52 for your chance to win £600 worth of beautiful wedding flowers from the fabulous Hayford & Rhodes – you can thank us later! Happy planning,
