Wedding Florists in West Midlands

Herefordshire and Worcestershire are orchard country, and an April or May wedding here can borrow from the blossom season with branches of apple and cherry, ranunculus and early roses. Later in the year, the Malvern Hills, the Shropshire Hills and the Warwickshire countryside lend themselves to rustic barn weddings, where florists tend to use lots of foliage, seed heads and garden flowers.

Birmingham and the Black Country are a different proposition. City hotels, converted industrial buildings and modern event spaces suit bolder designs, from floral arches framing a top table to clean, geometric centrepieces. In Warwickshire, historic market towns such as Stratford-upon-Avon offer timber-framed buildings and riverside settings that look good with softer, romantic colour schemes.

Before you book

• Tell your florist about the ceremony and reception locations, since a church in one village and a reception in another adds travel and set-up time.
• Ask what will be at its peak in your month rather than fixing on a flower that must be imported.
• Check whether the venue allows candles, hanging installations or confetti, as rules vary.

Most florists in the region cover a wide area, so you have plenty of choice. Booking several months ahead is wise for summer Saturdays.
