The current trend I am noticing is brides requesting natural and unstructured bouquets using seasonal flowers. I am delighted to see a move towards seasonal blooms and source mainly English flowers for this style of bouquet. Here I used fabulous scented garden roses including Romantic Antique, Juliet and Margaret Merrill with trails of garden honeysuckle and jasmine, dainty wind flowers, dahlias and fluffy alchemilla mollis. The pop of deeper colour provides contrast that really makes the peaches and pinks sing and the scent was amazing – which I also think is very important.
