FLOWERS & THINGS

Flowers are chic, timeless, beautiful, and ooze romance. They add something special at a wedding whether they’re held, worn, used to adorn arches, or decorate the venue and tables.

Bouquets, arrangements, & more

Roses, associated with love and romance, are everlastingly a wedding favourite. Hybrid tea, spray, and garden are the main types of roses featured in wedding bouquets and oral landscapes. Trailing white or pastel roses paired with deep green eucalyptus leaves can be chic or boho, depending on your look, and are currently in vogue.

Depending on the season, other favourites include peonies, ranunculi, hydrangeas, and sweat peas. Gardenias are elegant blooms with a sweet fragrance and are popular as wedding table décor because they don’t have a stem.

For a classic look, the cloud-like blooms of hydrangeas can be included in wedding bouquets together with roses and fresh foliage or, for a more contemporary vibe, combine hydrangeas with orchids. And their blowsy shape makes them perfect for table landscapes and large arrangements.

Couples are advised to drop into their orist the day before the wedding, to ensure the owers are coming together according to your vision. Then someone in your party can pick them up on the day.

Masterton’s La Fleur Florist and Carterton’s Pick a Lily Florist & Gifts are both available for your wedding ower needs from bouquets to buttonholes, corsages to cake sprays, table arrangements, and reception owers to church owers. Most couples email the orist well in advance to lock in availability and request a price for their requirements.

Hair pieces

Flowers in the bride’s hair can look e ortlessly stunning. You have so many options: a solo bloom, delicately decorated braids, a classic ower crown, whimsical up-dos with roses, headbands, fairytale touches using baby’s breath, a delicate oral hair comb, or a pop of colour. There’s a oral touch that’s perfect for you, whatever your hair style.

Gardenias are a familiar sight at boho weddings, where they look amazing as a single- ower corsage or hair accessory. And they’re stunning in a ower crown.
