Entering the new year and this new wedding season, we put together list of Dos and Don’ts when it comes to your wedding florals, as well as the latest trends you can expect to see in 2022. • DO come to your consultation prepared with an idea of your wedding party numbers, ceremony and reception decorations, and photo inspiration (Pinterest Boards are a great place to start) of your dream florals.

• DO remember your guests when deciding on centrepieces/table arrangements. Ensure that your guests can properly converse throughout the evening and that
