Wedding Flowers For Spring

Posted on

Weddings, Wedding, Weddings!

Last month we were privileged to exhibit at the National Wedding Show. It was an absolutely magical weekend, with over 250 other wedding suppliers all sharing inspiration and ideas for weddings of all shapes and sizes. Not to mention a showstopping catwalk featuring thousands of dresses from all the leading designers. You couldn’t help but be inspired.
But you know that – you were there. And we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Here is a photo of our stand showing a range of wedding flowers for spring. If you would like to visit The National Wedding Show here are their Autumn dates.

Top 7 Wedding Flower Colours

Posted on

Choosing a colour theme for your wedding can be baffling, and it’s usually the flowers and bridesmaids dresses that bring that chosen colour into your day.  A good place to start, is to think about the colours you like to wear.  Believe it or not, often brides come in for their consultation and they are wearing the colour they have chosen for their wedding.   But it also has to fit in with the bridesmaids dresses and flower availability. 

I recommend that you speak to your florist about which colours work well together, and how to get the overall colour theme you are looking for.  At Sonning Flowers, we always host a Wedding Open Day early in the year, where you can come in an see a large selection of different flowers and different colours available.  There will be staff on hand to help you pick out combinations of flowers and colours and hold them together, so you can visualise how they work together.

In February this year, we are exhibiting at the National Wedding Show in Olympia. The Sonning Flowers Weddings team are going to be on hand with tips and advice, so please drop by and see them.

Flower Ideas for your Outdoor Wedding Aisle

Flower Ideas for you Outdoor Wedding AisleFlower Ideas for your Outdoor Wedding Aisle

There are dozens of different ways to style your outdoor aisle with wedding flowers, and recently we showcased a number of different options at Silchester House in order to give you ideas and inspiration when it comes to planning the floral décor at your own outdoor wedding.

Large jars filled with a mixture of pink and peach roses and bright green alchemilla mollis hung with pastel coloured ribbon from shepherd’s crooks secured in to the ground.  However, if you prefer to walk own the aisle with twinkly candles on either side, hanging white lanterns could be an alternative option.  Large hurricane lantern lining the aisle are also a popular choice but to enhance the look – jars on the grass, dotted between each lantern could complete your outdoor wedding style.

Last weekends bride and groom were trying to dodge the rain and make a decision whether to have their wedding inside or outside.  At Froyle Park you have the choice of a ceremony in the Great Hall with this magnificent staircase, or outside under the gazebo with views over stunning parkland.  Flower choices included pale pink calla lilies, coral coloured Miss Piggy roses, Peach Avalanche roses, and very pale peach Vendella roses, bombastic spray roses, with peach lisianthus and a selection of mixed foliages.

More photos will follow soon.
