I get lots of emails from readers of the wedding blog asking for floral ideas and inspiration. My wish is your command. You don’t mess with a bride to be in full wedding planning swing now, do you?!

Presenting: A Florist’s Almanac. Sophie says…

White vendella roses and eucalyptus make a classic choice for the cold months. Team a simple bouquet like this one with faux fur, feathers, diamantes and pearls for understated elegance.

.
Red "passion" roses are the classic “I love you”.
.

Deep pink anenomies provide wonderful colour for winter and spring weddings, available in bold red, pink and deep blue and striking in white with their black centres.

White ranunculus, pink antirrhinums (snap dragons), pink "Esperance" roses and ruscus.

May brings the start of peony season, peonies being one of the most requested and popular flowers for weddings. The peony season runs from May to July, and peonies are sometimes available into August if you’re lucky. Pink "Sarah Bernhardt" peonies, Queen Anne’s lace, "Mimi Eden" spray roses, pink bupleurum, white sweet peas, eucalyptus.

Brassica flowers are a great choice for winter brides looking for something a little different and are available in beautiful whites, greens and purples as well as some red shades too. Green and white brassicas, white lisianthus, eucalytus and dracaena.
