Earth laughs in flowers. ~
— Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Hamatreya"

Flowers reflect and evoke so many of the human senses; from sight, scent and touch. Nothing quite creates more of an impact to an environment than flowers. And in no more perfect a setting than a wedding day do they set a tone and can literally change a mood.  

Floral stylists will literally create art, from centerpieces to ceremony and reception decorations.

We have created a 'mini guide' that may provide some inspiration and find those flowers you adore - when are they in season? Enjoy the wonderland of flowers and colour. 

Flowers are an essential part of any wedding or special event, and choosing the right ones can help set the tone for the occasion.
