When planning your wedding, the flowers you choose can make all the difference in setting the tone and creating a magical atmosphere. If you're considering British-grown blooms, you're not just selecting gorgeous flowers—you’re supporting local growers, reducing your carbon footprint, and embracing the natural beauty of seasonal flowers. At Wirral Flower Farm, we’re proud to offer locally grown blooms that bring authentic charm to your big day. Here’s how to choose the perfect flowers for your wedding.
1. Start with Your Wedding Season
One of the joys of choosing British flowers is the variety available throughout the year. Seasonal flowers are at their peak in beauty, fragrance, and longevity. Here’s a quick guide:
Spring: Delicate tulips, sweet-smelling narcissi, and anemones.
Summer: Vibrant dahlias, sweet peas, and cheerful sunflowers.
Autumn: Warm-toned chrysanthemums, cosmos, and late-season dahlias.
Winter: Evergreens, berries, and dried flowers for a rustic, timeless look.
Choosing seasonal flowers ensures you’ll get the freshest blooms that truly reflect the time of year.
2. Think About Your Wedding Style
Your flower choices should reflect the overall vibe of your wedding.
Rustic or Bohemian: Loose, natural arrangements featuring wildflowers and textured foliage work beautifully.
Classic or Elegant: Timeless roses, hydrangeas, and structured greenery are perfect.
Bright and Playful: Opt for bold, colorful flowers like zinnias, dahlias, and snapdragons.
At Wirral Flower Farm, we work with couples to design arrangements that perfectly match their vision.
3. Choose a Palette, Then Let the Flowers Shine
It’s helpful to start with a color palette, but remember that nature’s palette often adds a little extra magic. By using locally grown flowers, you’re allowing the beauty of nature to take the lead. British blooms offer soft pastels, vibrant jewel tones, and everything in between.
4. Be Open to What’s Available
When working with local growers, you’ll often find hidden gems you might not have considered. Seasonal availability means you might discover a new favorite flower or foliage. For example, our dahlias—like Wine Eyed Jill or Mango Madness—add character and elegance to any arrangement.
5. Consider DIY Wedding Flowers
If you’re hands-on and looking for a more personal touch, our DIY wedding flower packages are an excellent option. You can visit the farm to handpick blooms that speak to you, and we’ll help guide you to create your dream arrangements. It’s an unforgettable experience that makes your flowers even more meaningful.
6. Think Beyond the Bouquet
Your wedding flowers aren’t limited to bouquets. Consider adding floral touches to table arrangements, ceremony arches, and even wearable flowers like flower crowns or boutonnières. British blooms lend themselves beautifully to these accents, adding a cohesive and natural feel to your day.
