With the new wedding season approaching soon we would love to give you the low down on what flowers are in for Spring. Making decisions for your wedding is hard enough we want to make flower selection one less worry. The current trends seem to be less is more and different is in. Flowers for your wedding day symbolizes life and color and can display both the bride and groom’s personality in so many ways.

 One trend that we absolutely LOVE is succulents. The simplicity and the understated beauty of succulents are incredible. Not only are they easy to style, they also look fantastic on photographs and they last forever and a day. Succulents are not a traditional choice, but they add a certain elegance to your wedding day when paired with softer flowers. Not only can you use them for table décor or bouquets, but they make marvelous cake decorations as well.

Something beautiful for the soft and dainty bride, a true lady like similarity in peonies. Such a soft elegant feel to your wedding day. Peonies make you feel like dreaming of a world of peace and harmony. Some color in between the white peonies will make your bouquet the talk of the wedding industry. This is one of the only flowers that can be used from the start of bloom right through and they always project ladylikeness.

Brides that dare to be different, we say style your wedding with Hydrangeas. We believe this provides an ethereal feel and something so out of this world it can only be done by some of the best florists. Believe it or not, this is also the perfect flower for day weddings as it provides a fairy-like type of garden feel if you want a fairy-like forest feel we say let’s get everything draped in Hydrangeas.

 When making use of flowers on your wedding day not many brides think of the aroma of the flowers. When you are one of the brides where every detail matters, we suggest picking Magnolias for your wedding day. Not only will you look unbelievably regal you will smell like a million bucks too. Magnolias are beautiful open flowers that look perfect when in full bloom.

Last but certainly not least is the extremely popular Gerbera or as most South Africans know the flower, the Barberton Daisy.

They are simple, fun and not too hard to come by, which makes them perfectly suited for short notice weddings.
