Wedding Flower Design Ideas

Roses do look amazing when used on their own - you can create a classic look with a hand-tied bouquet using blooms of one type and colour. Add a subtle touch of foliage, bind the stems with gorgeous ribbon and you have a beautifully simple yet elegant design.


When you are choosing flowers for your reception the rose is particularly versatile as it mixes beautifully with other wedding flowers. Your table centrepieces can include the same rose as your bouquet but combined with lush foliage and other flowers to stunning effect.

Cindy Kirkland of Creative Works recommends using David Austin Roses for the bridal wedding flowers. "Their ability to create a truly unique design and fragrance making them a perfect choice. A ´must have’ for creating exclusively unique floral designs that everybody aspires to with a fragrance that you will never forget."

Mary Jane Vaughan of Fast Flowers, London recommends using the English cut roses in a traditional bridal bouquet, their unique shape adding a new dimension to a classic posy. "A compact posy of roses for a bride's bouquet can be quite stark and hard. With David Austin roses, the papery texture of the petals and the uneven and slightly imperfect shape of the roses make this same compact bouquet a soft and natural one, loosing the harshness of the same design made with the traditional Dutch roses. The fragrance is the icing on the cake! "
