Saying it with flowers is a time-honoured tradition, and never more so than at weddings. Whether it’s a lavish rose-garden setting, a dramatic floral arch or knockout bouquet, our eight real weddings prove that romance is in full bloom
Words Libby Norman
Flowers and weddings are inextricably linked – both conjure up romance and celebration and, of course, there is endless symbolism in the different colours and scents that make up a bouquet or floral arch. But, as our eight glorious weddings show, the impact can be in a single colour, a lush backdrop of greenery or a glorious flower garden in full bloom.

While photo opportunities are plentiful in all seasons, the walled garden in full bloom is beyond spectacular, so photographer Rebecca Claire made sure she captured Joe and Francesca rambling among the roses. hevercastle.co.uk & rebeccaclairephotography.com
