      For eco-conscious couples or those on a budget, foraging for your own wedding flowers is another fun option - and a great activity for you to do together. Furthermore, think about how your wedding flowers can be used throughout the day to minimise waste.

      When it comes to wedding flowers inspiration, search for the latest trends such as pampas grass and dried flowers. Or you may prefer abundant floral installations for an extra wow factor. It’s a good idea to find out what flowers are in season when you’re getting married, for extra seasonal ambience as well as practicality and cost.

      First impressions count, have a think about what you want the flowers at your ceremony entrance to look like. They will make a lovely welcome feature for your guests and a great backdrop for those all-important ‘just married’ pictures!
