WEDDING FLORIST AND WEDDING PLANNER DAVID MCCONKEY SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON WEDDING FLOWERS AND UPCOMING TRENDS FOR THE 2023/2024 SEASON…
BIGGER IS BETTER
Current wedding flower trends see a return to the 80s popular style with larger, longer and fuller bouquets coming back into fashion. Loose hand-tied bouquets will forever be a favourite, but block colour, as in different flowers in the same colour range, seems to be making a bold comeback as well.
COLOUR BY SEASON
Every season has its range of flowers, though the floral combination of white and green will always be the most requested choice. The perennial favourites for weddings are…
SPRING: yellow, lavender and blue tones
SUMMER: pink and peach tones
AUTUMN: bright orange and copper tones
WINTER: silvery tones with added sparkle
FLORAL FAVOURITES
No matter the season, there are a select group of favourite flowers that brides frequently request: hydrangeas, roses, oriental lilies and lily of the valley. The singular beauty of each different flower has made them timeless classics when it comes to wedding bouquets.
BEST WEDDING ADVICE
It’s always good to plan well in advance. Plan the flowers around the colour and style of your wedding theme. Do plenty of research to find the flowers you like: look on the internet and talk with you florist – nothing is impossible.
WHEN TO BOOK YOUR WEDDING FLORIST
Book your wedding florist at least six moths to a year before your date. Most well-known florists will be booked
well in advance, sometimes up to two years before hand. So if you have someone in mind, get in touch with them as soon as you know your wedding date!
