Seasons and Colour Themes

When it comes to planning your wedding flowers I personally always like to start with the brides bouquet and usually once you have decided on this everything else falls nicely into place!

The following are without a doubt the most popular and versatile of flowers for bridal bouquets due to the fact that they are available all year round, they are pretty much available in every colour and suit most styles and shapes of bouquets. (See the image gallery for different styles and shapes of bouquets).

These are of course just the main flowers that you might choose for your bouquet, there are also a variety of other types of flowers available all year round to compliment the main types listed here.

Spring - to capture the freshness of spring, go for blue, white and yellow colour themes. At this time of year there is an abundance of flowers to choose from: delphiniums, ranunculi, tulips, freesias and lilacs.

Early summer is the best time of year for flowers, choose from the richest shades of vibrant yellow, pink, red, blue and purple to the softer more subtle hues of cream, peach, pink, mauve, apricot and lemon. Lillies, snapdragons, roses, foxgloves, sweet-peas, cornflowers and stock all capture the sprit of summer.

For autumn weddings mellow colours like rust, red, amber burnished orange and gold work well, although pale pink and cream and white flowers can still be seen. This time of year brings an abundance of coloured leaves which make a striking backdrop for the simplest flowers. Hydrangea, gladioli, Chinese lanterns and spikey thistles also make an impact this time of year.

Winter - In today's market cut flowers are cultivated and imported to ensure that there is a plentiful variety all year round. But, for a real wintery feel: fruits, twigs, heather's, and pine cones, could be incorporated into the arrangements and for colour we can reply on winter berries in all shades of red, Christmas roses, viburnum, skimmia and variegated leaves.
