Flowers for your pets
More and more couples are including their furry friends in their day opting for sweet little tuxedos and fun floral crowns to make them look the part. We think they’re adorable but of course be mindful of the berries or flowers you use and make sure your pet seems okay with their new rig-out.
Flower girls
Flowers can be pinned to the flower girls’ dresses, to their hair accessories/tiaras or even handed to them in paper cones or baskets to scatter as they walk up the aisle (ensuring they’re not too heavy for the little ones to carry).

Altar area
Often a wedding venue doesn’t have an altar area – but you can create one using flowers. A flower covered arch, arbour or canopy is perfect for most kind of wedding ceremonies and can help create a gloriously romantic setting.
