Wedding planning is a bit of a balancing act, isn’t it?
Whether you’re trying to keep everyone happy with your guest list and seating plan, juggling your wedmin with that exciting new promotion at work or, more simply, trying to give yourself a few moments of peace and quiet before your next round with the budget spreadsheet begins... The trick is to find that all-important balance.
Naturally, it’s all about the balance when it comes to your wedding flowers, too: after all, it’s a fine line between #extra and floral overload. We’ve asked the experts to share their tips for choosing the decorations that will wow without overwhelming your venue (or you): turn to page 22 to start reading!
Another famous balancing-act of the planning process is finding the bridesmaid dresses: deciding on colours and styles that suit your vision, as well as appealing to your best friends. We’ve kickstarted things for you on page 10, rounding-up chic and stylish ideas to suit every palette and budget. Enjoy!
A Christmas Eve conversation with my uncle led to our Written in the petals feature - a look at how, exactly, your horoscope might be able to influence your wedding flowers. Who knew?
(As a Taurus bride-to-be, I must say: it’s pretty accurate...) Turn to page 28 to find out your bridal floral-scope, shared by the one and only Russell Grant.
Our famous Lookbook section is looking as gorgeous as ever, offering you the usual fix of serious floral inspiration for your wedding day. I actually got to go behind-the-scenes for this issue’s shoot, meeting some brilliantly passionate florists as well as seeing a lot of beautiful arrangements in the process. Turn to page 71 to see what I’m talking about...
Until next time - keep that balance going strong, brides. You’ve got this!

As I write this, it’s freezing. Teethchatteringly, spine-tinglingly, bonenumbingly freezing. The ‘Beast from the East’ (remember that?) is wreaking its frosty fury across the land and a fluttering flurry of snow is falling steadily outside the window. However, now, as you’re reading this, it’s warmer. The sun is peeping through the clouds, the hot water bottle that almost became surgicallyattached to your person is firmly back in storage and you might just be tucking into some left-over Easter egg...
And why does any of this matter? Because it’s an illustration of how time slips away: one moment you’re freshly engaged, tears of joy drying on your cheeks, admiring the sparkle of that glittering new ring on your finger. The next, you’re standing in your ceremony venue, taking a deep breath and preparing to walk down the aisle towards the love of your life, wondering where the last however-many months of planning and nerves and excitement have disappeared to...
Time slips through our fingers, readers; you can never quite hold on to it. So with that in mind, in this issue we asked women to reveal everything they know: about love, about wedding planning, about marriage... From the bride-to-be counting down to her W-day to the woman who will be celebrating her 52nd wedding anniversary this summer; from the newlywed to the woman who lost her love - the lessons they have to share are truly inspiring.. Turn to page 24 to start reading.
Don’t worry: it’s not all profound round here. We’ve also quizzed the pros for their tips on choosing Insta-worthy floral décor, whatever your budget; we’ve rounded up four
must-consider themes for your celebration; we’ve brought you a gorgeous new book extract to feast your eyes on...
And more. So much more!
Enjoy the read (and that left-over Easter egg), enjoy the ride and most importantly, savour every single moment.

Welcome to a brand new issue of Wedding Flowers & Accessories - and a brand new year, too!
I know January tends to get a lot of flak but personally, I love it. The start of a new year represents so many exciting things: it’s a tabula rasa, waiting to be filled with new adventures, memories, experiences... If you’re a bride-to-be on the countdown to her W-day, it’s even more exciting, of course – especially if 2018 is the year when you get to say ‘I do’ to the love of your life. In keeping with the fresh-beginning feel January brings with it so effortlessly, in this issue we’ve talked to three women who opted for the ultimate ‘something new’ after their weddings: a change in career! This entrepreneurial trio launched their own bridal businesses after they tied the knot - turn to pages 24-25 to see how, and why, they did it.
We’ve also scanned the runways to bring you an edit of the most wow-worthy 2018 wedding dresses, as well as found some thoroughly new ways to wear flowers on your W-day - move over, flower crown... Flick to our shiny new Style File section on page 7 to start browsing.
As well as your usual fix of beautiful flower inspiration and dazzling real wedding ideas, we’ve also asked some brilliant experts to share their tips for fuss-free, super-savvy wedding
planning. We’ve got an amazing roll-call of pros on-board: Alice Temperley MBE, Matt Porteous (who photographed Pippa Middleton’s wedding to James Matthews), royal cake-maker Fiona Cairns, Savile Row tailor Patrick Grant (he of Great British Sewing Bee fame) and so many more.
Head to page 28 to start reading their proverbial pearls and let the planning commence... Champagne optional, inspiration inevitable.
Whatever 2018 holds in store, let’s make it one to remember!

I have exciting news – I got engaged in August! And with a wedding booked for August 2018 in a French château, it’s all go go go. And one area where I am really feeling the pressure is, of course, the flowers. Do I go for all white, or pinks, or even a variety of colours? Do we opt for floral chandeliers or table runners? Working on this magazine for the past two years has spoilt me; I have been exposed to the most talented of florists and the most original ideas. No doubt I shall lose many hours of sleep wondering which blooms to go for!
This issue we are featuring plenty of moody hues and blooms perfect for those cosy winter weddings. Rich reds, deep purples and crisp whites run throughout the magazine, and if you turn to page 28, you’ll find our fabulous three page feature on how to make your winter wedding that extra bit special.
We’ve also got a showcase on dahlias on page 20, ideas on how to dress your chairs on page 22, a debate on the pros and cons of real and faux flowers from page 24 and floral
favours you’ll fall in love with on page 26.
Check out six gorgeous real weddings, bursting with inspiration from page 32. There’s wardrobe doors covered in fresh blooms, dogs wearing floral collars, a florist’s very
own floral wonderland, a festive delight, a transformed tipi and an abundance of plants. I began this letter with exciting news and now I end with sad news (for me anyway!). This is my last issue as editor, as I am swapping the world of weddings for interiors. I have loved my time here and will miss the talented florists and photographers who help bring this magazine to life. I hope everyone enjoys this issue as much as I have putting it together!
Happy planning,

By the time 2017 is out, I will have been a bridesmaid to various loved ones five times; this year alone I will have watched three of my closest friends get married, attended three hen dos and one engagement party – talk about taking your work home with you!

I would never refer to myself as a wedding expert; when an industry evolves as fast as ours, can anyone truly be an authority? However, one thing I have learnt is the
importance of flowers on your big day. Since working on this magazine, I have truly come to appreciate the impact that gorgeous blooms can have on a wedding; they can take even
the most drab of venues and make it look spectacular. From floral chandeliers to table runners and oversized bouquets, to me, the flowers are what make a wedding. This is one reason why we take so much pride in our Flower Lookbook (from page 69), which allows established and up-and-coming florists to showcase their talents to you.

This issue is so packed with ideas I did wonder how we would fit it all in! Whether you’re planning next summer’s sunflowers or looking for this season’s autumnal tones, we’ve got you covered. From a gorgeous moodboard filled with vibrant and dramatic blooms on page 8, to the visually stunning protea on page 20, and our feature on how you can glean inspiration from this year’s Chelsea Flower Show on page 22, there’s plenty here.

Lastly, head to page 33, where we have 18 pages of fabulous real life weddings; from a colourful Mexican-inspired celebration and a pretty-in-pink fairytale day at Aynhoe Park, to
a glamorous affair at a French château and swoon-worthy nuptials in South Africa, we’re sure you’ll love these big days as much as us!

Love is in the air! It’s pretty obvious why summer is such a popular time to tie the knot; clear skies and sunny days (well, sometimes) and of course, an abundance of gorgeous blousy blooms, with the peony making a short appearance throughout the first burst of summer. It’s little wonder we all refer to it as wedding season...

This issue is simply popping with ideas and inspiration, from our stylish moodboards on page 10, to our enchanting real life weddings from page 33, all the way to our legendary Flower Lookbook which starts on page 69. We’ve also got the most dreamy Receptions edit on page 57 featuring the prettiest of pretty pink flowers; we think you’ll love it!

If you’re feeling crafty this month then you’re in luck – we have a fun and quick project on how to make your own confetti on page 19, as well as step-by-steps on how to whip up buttonholes for your groom and his groomsmen on page 66. However, if you’re running short on time to make your own confetti, flick to page 54 to read how you can receive 20% off confetti from Shropshire Petals!

And if that’s not enough, we’ve also got five fabulously florals features for you to read from page 20, offering advice on how to make the most of your budget, ideas for blue blooms and getting married outside, as well as our fave experts answering all the questions you may have flower-wise.

This is your five minute warning: we’re going full steam ahead into peak wedding season, meaning it’s time to finalise those last details and to dot the i’s and cross the t’s for your flowers and décor. But worry not, as this issue is simply bursting with new ideas! We have a mini bouquet special this issue – if you’re newly engaged, take our quiz on page 22 to find out which one will go best with your wedding, before working out how your dress and bouquet should complement one another on page 24. Trend wise, we’ve got the low-down on the hottest idea for 2017, greenery, on page 20 – trust us, you need to check it out. We also can’t ignore the fact that we’re coming into peony season (yay!), so we’ve dedicated two pages to these dreamy blooms to give you plenty of inspiration on how to incorporate the beautiful flower into your big day on page 26. Lastly, head to page 28 for our round-up on some of the best floral hen parties up and down the country... the only problem will be choosing which one to go to! I couldn’t help but notice something interesting when curating our gorgeous real life weddings – blue hues were popping up everywhere. Whether it was incorporated into the flowers or the bridesmaids were wearing it, it seems the ‘something blue’ tradition has been taken very literally. With this in mind, we have focused on this fresh, chic tone on pages 8 and 60, so you can also add the colour of 2017 into your nuptials. Lastly, head to floral nirvana from page 69, where we’ve teamed up with some of the best florists the UK has to offer – their creativity never fails to amaze me and I’m so pleased that we get to showcase all of their hard work in our glossy pages. Before I go – head to page 52 for your chance to win £600 worth of beautiful wedding flowers from the fabulous Hayford & Rhodes – you can thank us later! Happy planning,
