FLOWERS

Floristry and events experts reveal how to see beautiful wedding blooms in a fresh light this season

REFINED RUSTIC

When you think of weddings, there’s one element that’s always present - flowers, and plenty of them. However we’ve noticed a trend of more couples opting for foliage rather than petals to decorate their Big Day. Take this opulent reception décor above, created by Lavender Green Flowers. Natural, refined and elegant, it feels like you’re sitting in a garden - albeit one with pristine linens, tableware and sparkling chandeliers! For a more relaxed rustic look, why not have your florist use long leafy garlands down the tables flowing onto the grass? Chic with just the right amount of wild; perfect for the Big Day.

MAKE AN ENTRANCE

There are times when minimalism works, but in some cases, only extravagance will do. Make the most of your venue’s features by including them in your set up, as shown by luxury event décor company Élan Events by Nipunika. The grand staircase is covered with pastel-hued blooms, pillar candles and a carpet made from white petals. Dreamy.
