There are so many ways to include personal touches into your wedding flowers. Here are just a few examples of things we’ve incorporated for previous brides.
A lovely couple that we worked with really enjoyed gardening and very natural ethical things. So we designed wedding flowers that gave them a very natural and wild meadow look. We achieved this by using different shades of flowers, in all sorts of shapes, sizes and textures.
Tabitha asked us to hide a robin in her bouquet, unfortunately she didn’t disclose the meaning behind this request, she just left us wondering!
Another bride asked us to incorporate an old brooch that had sentimental value onto the handle of her wedding bouquet. I’ve also seen this done on wedding cakes. Both ideas work really well.
We’ve incorporated a special flower into the overall flower theme. This is often a flower that the groom to be has given the bride on a special occasion like the proposal or first date.
In Memory of a Loved One
We have been asked on many occasions to make a flower display to go on a grave of a love one, often a grandmother or mother. They are always produced with the same blooms as the wedding flowers.
Julia (one of our recent brides) asked us to make an arrangement for her mum’s grave in all the flowers that were featured in her bouquet. You can see in this photo that we delivered it to her reception venue where she had placed a lovely card paying tribute to her mum. Also opposite the arrangement was a framed photograph of her parents on their wedding day, I thought this was a lovely touch. She then planned to take the flowers to the crematorium the following day.
We have worked with brides who have asked us to incorporate flowers that their mum or grandmother had in their wedding bouquets. This is sometimes a special gesture as that person is no longer alive and they want to remember them on this very special day.
Tossing the Bouquet
It’s so unusual for the bride to want to part with her bouquet and you try getting one of your bridesmaids to part with theirs! So on occasions we are asked to make up an inexpensive bouquet in the same wedding colours for the bride to throw.
I hope this gives you a bit of inspiration that may spark off ideas for your own personal touches.
