Rebecca Taylor Flowers provides a full wedding flower service from the initial consultation through to personal delivery of the flowers on your big day. We liaise with the bride and groom throughout the preparation stages, going that extra mile to ensure you receive a personal and first class service. We are passionate about flower design and have a contemporary and innovative approach to wedding work, encompassing a huge variety of styles ranging from modern minimalist to fairytale romance. Whatever your style, colours and personality we will ensure they are conveyed through your wedding flowers.

Our wedding flower service starts with a FREE consultation where we find out about your floristry ideas, colour themes and preferred styles. We will also visit your wedding venue where necessary to check location specific information. We will then talk through your ideas and provide a comprehensive quotation based on our discussions. As we understand that a Bride often chooses her flowers long before the big day we provide a second consultation nearer the wedding date to confirm all the finer details. We also invite Brides along to wedding fairs to see samples of flowers and bouquets. As part of our service we are happy to source extra items relating to your wedding flowers to match your theme such as; vases, table centre containers, flower accessories, ribbons and much more.

We have tried to make our wedding flower information as useful as possible for Brides-to-be, and below you will find further information on; different types of bouquets & flower arrangements, themes & styles and what you will need to consider before meeting your florist.

Bridal Bouquets - There many different styles of bridal bouquets from traditional to funky. Brides are becoming more aware of flower trends and we are happy to work with any special requests for designer bouquets. To get you started here is a list of some of the more popular styles of bridal bouquets:

 

Shower bouquet this is a cascading/waterfall style bouquet, which compliments tall brides, long trains and fuller figures as it draws the eye down. It tends to be a more traditional and fuller style bouquet; however it can be given a modern twist through the use of unusual flowers and foliages.



Hand-tied bouquet -
this is by far one of the most popular styles of bridal bouquets at the moment, a hand-tied bouquet, which can be tailored to your individual theme and style. We can provide a more traditional rose bouquet or a natural country style hand tie, or a modern, striking bouquet with vibrant colours and exotic flowers. This style is usually tied off with ribbon and decorative pins to match your colour theme. Hand-tied bouquets compliment any bride or dress as it can be tailored to your size and theme.

Wired/Hand-tied posies - this is a more traditional hand-tied/wired arrangement, usually in a perfectly round dome shape, compliments petite brides and shorter dresses, often used for bridesmaids.


Over arm bouquets - a modern and contemporary style of bouquet often with Calla lilies integrated into the design. This style of bouquet is held over the arm and flows down over the elbow, it can also be held down by the side. These elegant bouquets suit slim figures, contemporary style dresses, and dresses with more detail.
