Flowers can be used in a huge variety of ways for your wedding - sometimes in small quantities simply to reflect a theme, and sometimes in larger quantities to help set it.

What you decide to have will depend very much on your own personal taste and on how much you want to spend.

In this section you will find examples of some of the types and styles of arrangements that we can make. If you'd like some more ideas you can use our online Enquiry Form or call us direct on 01525 290599.

Our florists have a great deal of experience in designing wedding flowers and can offer you good, practical advice about the best way to achieve the effect you want.

We are happy to discuss your day at our base in Woburn or we can arrange a meeting at your venue. Distance is not a problem as our team decorate and deliver nationwide.

If your choice is a simple posy or the most exquisite shower bouquet using exotic varieties, all our work will be of the highest standard using only best quality flowers. (Flower List - subject to availability and season).

What the florist needs to know...

Theme and style of the wedding
What are the surroundings like? (both for the wedding itself and the reception.) Is it formal or informal? Classic or Modern? What will the bridal gown look like? What mood are you trying to create? These are all vital clues, which will help the florist design the appropriate style for you.

Your budget
We would be happy to help and advise you to achieve a beautiful look within your budget.

The colour scheme
Are there any colours which ought to be included or avoided? What colour are the bridesmaids' dresses - or the groom's waistcoat? Or the table-cloths at the reception? Swatches of material are ideal - failing that, a photograph or even a colour match from a DIY store will help.

Shapes and sizes
What age are the bridesmaids? How tall are they? Are there any other attendants to think about (perhaps a page-boy or a matron of honour)?

Hairstyles
If the bride or bridesmaids are having flowers in their hair, their hairstyle may affect how the flowers can be fixed and what style of head-dress will be appropriate.

The Wedding Venue
How large is the venue? What is the lighting like? If the wedding will be celebrated in a church, synagogue, mosque or temple, are there any particular customs or requirements which we should know about?

Whether you anticipate holding your wedding at home, in a marquee or at a prestigious venue, The Flower Shop Woburn can assist in making your day a huge success. Previous venues we have provided wedding flowers and displays for include:

The Reception
How large is the room or marquee? Do you want table arrangements - and, if so, how many? What is the background like - what colour and what material? Do you want any arrangements for the car?

Bombard us with information
The more we know about your plans for the wedding, the easier we'll find it to give you exactly what you want. Pictures, photographs, sketches, colour guides - it all helps.

And make sure you leave plenty of time before the big day - four weeks is really the minimum. Even the largest florists cannot manage many weddings on the same day, and they are often booked up for months in advance at busy times of the year. You might also want an unusual type of flower, which will have to be ordered in especially for you.

A final thought . . .

Flowers also make an ideal "thank-you" gift - to bridesmaids, mothers and others who have helped you with all the planning and organisation that goes into a wedding.

You can arrange these before the big day or even send them through Teleflorist while you're on your honeymoon!
