Summer has seen a slew of celebrity weddings including that of Kate Moss, Zara Philips and of course, Prince William and Catherine Middleton. And while the focus is always on the brides dress, I have had a keen eye on the bridal bouquets.
The three brides had very different bouquets but all were in keeping with the style and setting of their weddings. Catherine's wired shield bouquet of sweet william, lily of the valley, myrtle and hyacinth was perfect in that the tiny flowers echoed the delicate lace of her dress and drew the eye to her tiny waist as she held them in front of her. Given that the wedding was held in the grand Westminster Abbey, florist Shane Connolly made the right decision in keeping Catherine's bouquet understated and simple.
The style of Kate's English countryside wedding which took place in the Cotswolds was reflected in her dainty bouquet of roses, lisianthus and marguerites. The trend for flowers which look they have just bee picked from the garden continues!
As for Zara's bouquet, this was more generous in size that either Kate or Catherine's and contained thistle, cala lilies, singapore orchids and dusty miller. The pale greys and blues of the thistle and dusty miller matched Mike's morning suit and looked gorgeous against Zara's fair colouring and gave a nod to the location of their wedding Scottish Kirk.

Not quite sure which one I would have chosen.....
