We are talking wedding flowers again today on the blog. In the 2nd of a 3 part series on wedding flowers, Hiding in the City discusses whether brides-to-be should be buying British when it comes to flowers for their wedding day.

An Evergreen match in the Garden of Ireland was inspired by the dramatic and stunning landscape surrounding the Powerscourt Hotel.

The luscious ancient green scenery and striking places of natural beauty in the Estate grounds in County Wicklow lent itself perfectly to creating a stunning magical Wedding rendezvous.

Bo & Luca bridal gowns have always been a firm favourite of mine when it comes to ‘so hot right now’ wedding dresses. With a super cool indie vibe this label always creates dresses you’d give your right limb for… so imagine my excitement when I heard that they have now launched an AFFORDABLE luxury bridal range.

Here at Want That Wedding we are getting into the wedding spirit with Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel. A perfect hand-selected gift for the Father-of-the-bride, the best man, the groomsmen, or even the dashing groom himself!

Whatsmore it can even be personalised at the Jack store with a message of your choice – perfect to present them as thank you’s on your wedding day.

Groomsmen Gifts: Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel!

Today’s most wanted wedding is a relaxed riverside affair – inspired by natural, green foliage and wildflower wonder!

Joss and Tim had an effortlessly elegant wedding, with the bride wearing a simple, backless Pronovias wedding gown and accessorising with minimal jewellery and an INCREDIBLE wildflower floral crown.

This was such a dream team and complete team effort. I knew I wanted to organise a bridal styled shoot, but I am a makeup artist and not a wedding planner. I went into planning this shoot wanting everyone’s ideas and creativeness heard. I wanted something unique in the sense of standing out and not being too traditional.

I also wanted nature to have a voice, be involved and a free spirit to be seen. I knew instinctively that I wanted the dress to have a different approach to bridal wear and set the shoot apart from anything else commonly seen. No traditional white dresses!

Jessica Turner did an amazing job by designing and creating her signature corset ‘Calla Lilly’ to which we added a separate skirt that was layered and dip dyed in pink. I loved the combination of hard and soft and we grew our concept from there.

I wanted to create something rustic and wild yet playful and soft with a romantic ease. Non-traditional, with blush as the base, mixed with nature and some elegance.

It’s hard not to start stressing over the details when planning your wedding isn’t it?, And, as such an integral part of many weddings, flowers can be sat right up there on the list of ‘things to worry about’.

Today on the blog we bring you a 3 part series from a flower company that knows a thing or 2 about wedding flowers! And the 1st in the series will allay all those wedding flowers worries…
