Sonning Flowers – Wedding Florist Berkshire
April has seen the restrictions ease permitting weddings and civil ceremonies with up to 15 people. We’ve made some gorgeous bridal bouquets, buttons holes and bridesmaid bouquets for wonderful couples during this time and couldn’t resist sharing some with you!
So this week we were hit with the unfortunate news from Boris that weddings are to be reduced to 15 people plus suppliers. It’s not the news we wanted to hear and it looks like the rule will be here to stay into early 2021.
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.
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.
Are you planning a winter wedding?
Once you’ve chosen the perfect winter wedding venue, and your dress you can start planning your wedding flowers.
Ardington House Wedding Flowers. This weekend we were back again at Ardington House, a stately home and wedding venue surrounded by pretty South Oxfordshire countryside.
Spring is one of the most beautiful times of the year to get married with a great range of inspiration for spring wedding flowers to be taken from the fantastic flowers that are at your fingertips.
Whether you are looking for soft and romantic pastels, bright pops of colour, or deep berry tones – the season lends itself so well to all colour palettes.
A few examples of seasonal blooms that can be used to create sensational designs are:-
Flower Ideas for your Outdoor Wedding AisleThere 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.
