There aren’t nearly enough spring weddings flowers around – I regularly get pictures of lovely bright summery wedding bouquets, but the autumn and spring arrangements don’t get nearly as much air time. So I thought I’d change that by posting this beautiful spring bridal bouquet, sent to me (and photographed) by Planet Flowers. There must be lots of you getting married in Spring that are looking for inspiration and ideas for your flowers. Well, if you’re anything like me, and don’t even have a clue what will be in season its definitely worth thinking about including hyacinths in the mix…

This photo is from a wedding at Dundas Castle – a beautiful historic venue near Edinburgh, Scotland. Bay trees were placed at the entrance to the Keep with garlands of mini orchids hanging from them.

We’re so lucky with this gorgeous autumn weather – it made me think its the perfect time to have a quick peek at a lovely autumnal wedding arrangement lots of warm orange and rusty red hues. “We loved doing this display for Francesa and were delighted with the feel it created, it so fitted in with the surroundings in Norland Square. We used available foliage together with hydrangeas, gorgeous golden and rusted coloured chrysanthemums, michaelmas daisies, rose hips and lilies which gave such a gentle autumn feeling with the surrounding trees in the square also turning colour” said Britt from…

I love buttonholes – I always look at the boys buttonholes at weddings to see if they have the usual limp rose with petals falling out or if they’re wearing something a little out of the ordinary. Here are a selection of some of my favourites and a few tips to make sure that you get your buttonholes really fresh on the day ….. I asked the lovely ladies at Planet Flowers for some pics of buttonholes, explaining my fetish for them and I got a whole load more than I bargained for….. these are really beautifully done, carefully crafted…

More beautiful wedding arrangements and bouquets from Planet Flowers, based in Scotland. Its not just me that has fallen in love with them because I’ve had some really lovely feedback from fellow florists on my post showcasing some of their summer wedding bouquets that they designed for an American bride earlier this year. My favourite of these recent shots is this one below- I LOVE the button holes for the gentlemen they are stylish, colourful and aren’t going to droop in the heat as the day goes on. Gemma (the florist) has said previously that it is great to see…
