 Many thanks to my lovely bride for this fab photo of summery blues

This year I have had the good fortune to create several blue and white bouquets. You need to remember that the deep blues recede in photos which mean they can disappear if against a dark background or a very dark dress. Mixing the white and blue colours and including different shades adds a lightness to bring out their beauty.
 Sometimes concentrating on one main flower for your wedding theme works well. Here is Danielle's tulip based bouquet.  The tulip based main table arrangement  Tulip posies for the bridesmaids
 Sometimes its good to add a bit of colour with your flowers. A true spring wedding in March used pretty pastels that complemented the peach bridesmaid dresses. We then carried the peach colour more strongly in the reception with 2 peach pedestals each side of the top table and peach rose petals scattered for a more informal feel. Thanks to Claire Borley the photographer and Deryn,the mother of the bride, for these lovely pics.  The bridal bouquet was softened with fern fronds and spring flowers such as anemone and ranunculus (that's turkish buttercups!) . Lilac added a super scent too.
 Glory of the snow and snowdrops in a lucky horseshoe vase. Luck for spring and summer weddings to come! These little flowers are best admired at close range although clumps glow in the garden or woodland. You can pack them in a small vase with moss so they stand upright or wedge them in a little bud vase so you can enjoy them in the house and may even smell their scent.
 A little bark pot with yellow mimosa. A sure sign that spring is on its way!
