Wedding Flowers Magazine July/August 2015 Edición anterior

Summer is a great time to be planning your wedding flowers, whether or not you are marrying this season. With all types of flora in full bloom and gardens at their prettiest, there is inspiration everywhere. Why not have a picnic style wedding propped with an old fashioned bicycle and vintage jugs decorated with daisies? Our Freshly Picked ideas (page 10) shows you how. For something a little more exotic, our Moodboards (page 12) perfectly encapsulate the trend for mixing fruit with flowers. Tangerines and grapefruits sit alongside vibrant orchids in our Juicy Fruit shoot, while dwarf pineapples are mixed with tropical foliage and bright pink calla lilies in the club Tropicana story. If you fancy a wedding with a floral backdrop, we have rounded up some of the best spots around the world in Blooming Destinations (page 24). From the sunflower and lavender fields of Tuscany and Provence and the further flung ranunculus farms of california and cherry blossom season of Japan, to the bluebell woods and poppy fields of the UK, we have plenty of florinspiration for you! Our Flower Lookbook section (page 79) gives you new and creative ways to work with flowers. Wedding sign decorations can be made from waxflower mixed with pussy willow, while vintage teacups can be filled with frilly sweet peas and displayed as tablecentres. classic roses, scented jasmine and forget-menots combine to make cake toppers as well as the finishing touches to favour boxes too. Enjoy the issue!
