Enchanting Flowers For Weddings And Other Celebrations In West Sussex

You will remember which flowers you have at your wedding for the rest of your life. 

It’s important everything from the colour and the fragrance and texture is just right. When you look back at photographs in years to come, the flowers should be evocative and have emotional significance. 

According to recent research, the most popular wedding flowers include roses, tulips, baby’s breath,  hydrangeas, carnations, orchids, sunflowers, lilies, gardenias and anemones. However, trends are changing all the time.

Expert florists like our team in Hassocks can ensure you have the finest bouquets for your big day. Whether you’re having a traditional church wedding, colourful Indian wedding, or a LGBTG event, we love helping at all kinds of celebrations. 

A short history of wedding flowers. 

Floral arrangements have been used at weddings since the days of Ancient Rome and Greece. In ancient Rome, brides donned garlands made of various flowers along with herbs, which were believed to bring blessings to a couple.

Later in the Victorian era, the language of flowers, also known as ‘floriography’ became popular. Particular flowers were denoted certain meanings, and brides would carefully select them according to the symbolism- something we still do today.

From decorating the venue to the bridemaid’s hair, flowers can be used in a variety of ways at your wedding in West Sussex. 

They also play a big part in how your photographs come across, with flowers providing colourful accessories and backgrounds. From pretty peonies and bright summer bouquets to Christmas-red roses, we provide many different options.

Whether you need floral arrangements for the tables, the bridesmaids or the bride, Apple Mint Florists can work with you to achieve your goals.

Here are a few tips before contacting a florist:

• Consider how many guests are coming if you need centrepieces. That includes considering personal florals for parents, like corsages and buttonholes. 

• Explore the different ways to use flowers at your wedding. For instance, many people like to have aisle end posies.

• How many tables do you need to decorate? If you’re decorating the aisles, how many will you need to cover?

• Will you have children that will need flowers?

Of course, the more people you have, the more you will probably have to spend. However, Apple Mint Florists has an array of products to suit any budget.
