Five minutes with Witham-based florist

I'm clueless when it comes to flowers; I don't know what style of bouquet to have, what colours to choose or what's likely to be in my budget. How can I find a florist to help?

Loretta say: Have you decided on your dress style? This can help with the choice of your bouquet style – for example a simple hand-tied bouquet would complement an A-line dress. Your theme or colour scheme can also help influence your choices.

If your big day is following a romantic, rustic-vibe then opt for various shades of pink roses, peonies and summer blooms with soft, flowing natural-looking foliage, finished with natural raffia or hessian.

If you're on a budget there are so many foliages and fillers that can be used to create a romantic look, such as alchemilla mollis, variegated ivy, or herbs like rosemary and mint.

It's good to start gathering ideas by looking through magazines, books and create a moodboard or scrapbook of ideas that you like. Make sure you bring this when you pop into the shop to discuss your ideas further – we will be more than happy to help you.
