Wedding Flowers Magazine Nov/Dec 15 Back Issue

As memories of summer hols fade like the tan, and winter woolies are dug out from the back of the drawer, so we notice other changes of the floral kind at this time of the year. It’s goodbye to pretty pink peonies and hello to the deep reds of roses – but the shift from light colours needn’t leave brides-to-be scurrying around in the dark for genius ideas to make their day bloom. We’ve captured the full vibrancy of what this season’s flowers have to offer in our stunning Flower Lookbook section (starting on page 69). It also includes an extra eight pages of red choices, so prepare to be wowed! If you still need inspiration after that, you’ll find loads on every petal-powered page of this issue, like our real life weddings (starting on page 32). Getting your big day blooms right are key to adding atmosphere and framing great photos to treasure, and so we’ve spoken to former brides who share their experiences, advice and their lovely pictures! We’re also talking unique scents at Wedding HQ this month as we’ve noticed an increasing trend of couples’ scenting their day by sending out sweet-smelling invites, or adding ingredients like lavender sprigs and rosemary to cake so it smells as good as it tastes. Follow your nose to page 22 to find out more... Looking to make a different kind of impact with flowers? Then why not impress your guests with a floral twist on your table favours using individual, personalised ideas in our Table Treasures feature (page 28). Last but not least, we have floral fashion (page 50), reception ideas (page 56), beauty buys (page 58) and inspirational moodboards so enjoy the issue and remember to tweet us pictures of your own big day blooms!
