With this late summer sunshine bathing us all in it’s golden glory, I though it would be lovely to bring a splash of summer flora to the blog this morning. I love photographing flowers-whether that’s a simple posey, an intricately grand bouquet or something a little quirky, I adore flowers. When I got married I had no idea about flowers-then again I was 23-I didn’t have a clue! Now I would be spoilt for choice-so many fabulous florists out there-real artists who make a simple flower into a work of art.
So today a little floral inspiration from real weddings we have photographed. What’s your favourite and why?

So there you go -lots of lovely floral inpsiration -what’s your favourite and why?
For me, it’s a tough choice between the luscious, soft pink peonies (I’m obsessed with peonies at the moment), the tulips and iris bouquet at the end (tulips are my favourite flower and that midnight blue colour is just amazing) and the roses with the metallic details (9th down)…
…I think it has to be the roses with the metallic details as I just love how simple yet striking and different it is. I could definitely see myself with this at my wedding.
Awesome photography as always Jenny, these images are stunning! x
Thanks Beth – I don’t even know where I’d start if I was getting marrried now-I love them all-I would probably change my dress and bouquet every 2 hours like a proper diva
Kim Kardashian style? Or that bride who couldn’t decide and ended up with something unbelievable like 20 outfit changes? I knwo what you mean though, there are so many options and every time you see another, it’s amazing, that it is difficult to knwo where to start.
I’d love to see your wedding photos some time, and also know who you chose for the auspicious job of photographing it! Not sure who I’d choose to make my wedding cake, but one thing is for sure, I would be taking the day off! xx
