Wedding Flowers Magazine May/June 2015 Retour à l'édition précédente

As the editor of a magazine devoted to blooms for your big day, I get sent many of your weddings to look at for inspiration, and my team and I love nothing more than to pour over the ideas you have. I’m a huge fan of the trend for styling a wedding like a photo shoot. Whether your venue provides its own decorative ceremony backdrop, or you source eclectic pieces of furniture from local hire companies, there are always so many wonderful photo opportunities – especially when flowers are added. Turn to our real-life weddings section (starting on page 35), where you can learn how to recreate these ideas for yourself with our get-the-look shopping pages. Wedding flowers have come a long way since the 1920s and ’30s – turn to our Retro Star Style feature (page 22) to see how bridal bouquet trends have changed over the years. Work out your floral spend in Blooming Budgets (page 26), make selections according to the time of year in The Four Seasons (page 28) and finally, decide on your favourite flower type in Classic Vs. Contemporary on page 30.
Finally, I just love a moodboard, and those sourced for this issue are crammed full of ideas (page 12). From pretty flower-filled frames, which make less expensive alternatives to a flower wall, to tablecentres trimmed with feathers, there is a theme and colour palette to suit everyone. So, enjoy the issue and please do keep your wedding pictures coming!
