Wedding Flowers Magazine - September/ October 2017

この号では

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!
