Bespoke Blooms
In the wake of the Chelsea Flower show it all seems to be about blooms at the moment! Flowers are something of a necessity at your nuptials but what do these flowers say about us? For centuries flowers and their unique meaning have been used as a way of communication known as ‘floriography’.
Dating back to biblical times flowers have had meanings attached but no time in history have flowers been so important as the Victorian times and even today the Victorian meaning attached to flowers are still commonplace. So why not make your bouquet bespoke by using flowers with a meaning that is important to you.
