Floral Fantasy
| Q | My wife-to-be and I are going for a relaxed bohemian theme for our wedding, but we don't know where to start with our flowers. What would you suggest? |
| A | Julie Land says: The first part of deciding on your wedding flowers is finding the perfect florist so you'll have the most beautiful wedding florals. Find a supplier that aligns with your vision for the wedding day. You must choose someone whose work you love and are drawn to and who you click with. Look at their work portfolio, website and social media to discover their background in weddings and their experience. This is one of your most important days, and you should have a professional florist who is highly experienced in weddings. They should be able to show you their real-life weddings, reviews and also be able to answer all your questions, queries and fill you with confidence to produce beautiful florals on your wedding day. |

Winter Wonderland
| Q | We're having a winter wedding and want to incorporate our theme into our flowers. Do you have any suggestions? |
| A | Nicola Waddilove says: With a romantic winter wedding, incorporate candlelight and the twinkle of fairylights through the dappled natural light of the day. The season provides an abundance of beautiful foliage and blooms, perfectly fitting with your theme. We may not have the same array of beautiful flowers like during the summer months, but the berries, twigs, and winter blooms available are just as stunning while offering beauty and texture. Flowering eucalyptus, tree ivy with added berries, conifer, ferns, skimmia and viburnum berries with their dark pearl blue glow all look stunning paired with some beautiful winter florals. Roses will always be a focal flower accompanied by winter helleborus, known as the Christmas Rose, and hypericum berries to provide a stunning floral display. Winter garlands are a great way to decorate larger spaces, bringing in the finer details with delicate bud vases bursting with flowers, berries and foliage. Pair the arrangements perfectly with tapered candles in winter tones and tea lights to decorate the spaces. |
