Flowers are one of the most visual aspects of the wedding day. Not only are they ornamentation for the bride, bridesmaids and the groom with bouquets, buttonholes and hair accessories, but also serve well as decoration for the church and reception venue.

The traditional wedding cake can also be decorated in the floral theme of the wedding, to create a contemporary and fresh look while keeping the overall wedding theme intact.

Professional florists are all set to work their magic for those making wedding plans. Just contact them early as these artistic specialists hold bookings for weddings well in advance.

They will want to see samples of the wedding-dress fabric and a sketch of the style of the gown, as well as the colours chosen for the attendants.

The style and shape of the bouquet will be dependent on the tonings and design of the garments. Good florists can create bouquets that complement the bride's personality and her gown.

They can also advise as to which flowers are in season at the time of the wedding and which will be unavailable.

There is a never-ending list of floral designs.

A forecast of what is fresh for the upcoming summer wedding season includes "something old and something new".
