Wedding flowers

Wedding flowers obviously play a large part in a bride's planning. There's a lot to decide; which wedding flowers, which colours, what size, what's in season, make your own or pay someone to make your bouquet etc etc I went down the route of purchasing beautiful peonies from a flower market and creating our own bouquets (with the help of my wonderful friends). It was easier than I thought - the biggest problem was storing them. I picked up the flowers the morning before my wedding day and we created them the afternoon before. Lucky we had a spare fridge! All of the shelves came out and they fit in there somehow miraculously! I was incredibly happy with how they turned out. For the table flowers, I just kept it really simple and cheap with some pretty white small flowers in lovely small vases (also purchased at the markets). I did pay them to create the boutonnière's though! I think it was worth the cost as doing everything would have been near impossible!

I loved the process of choosing the flowers, however unfortunately I only wanted peonies and they are only available a few weeks of the year, luckily they were available for our wedding. They were stunning and I was incredibly happy with them! x

I've found some good articles to help with planning your wedding flowers, good luck!
