What are the emerging wedding flower trends for 2010? Influential florists from around the globe have picked their ideas for the upcoming wedding year. It doesn’t matter what kind of theme you prefer: we can supply flowers for all tastes!

Green and Eco – Making ecological choices by choosing in-season flowers has been popular in 2009 and it seems it will stay a favourite in 2010. There will be a focus on foliage, plants, moss, ivy, twigs, rock and grasses. Green and brown colours will give a sophisticated, back to nature feel.

Retro Chic – A classic, timeless look featuring abundant masses of garden flowers such as snapdragons, roses and hydrangea arranged in classic urns. Colour schemes are retro-inspired – peach and green, pale yellow and cornflower blue, amber and red, set off with either vintage containers or stems and vases decorated with natural elements.

1920s Style – Also known as the Charleston Era. Strings of pearls wound into bouquets or trailing down stems tied with lace ribbon encapsulate these times. Bridal hair styles will feature a single flower woven into classic bob length waves, crowned by 1920’s short wide net single veils. Finally, lace and neutral colours, such as ivory, pinks and muted peaches, will be key in creating the desired aura.

Hollywood Glamour – Glitz and glam, extravagant floral arrangements using flowers with volume and large heads, shiny gold and silver colours, deep reds, crystals, diamonds and sparkle.

It must be said however, that many Brides are not led by immediate trends. The white and ivory classic colour palette is as popular as ever and the choice of many, as are roses, whether they be avalanche, grand prix or peony roses. Pink is also a firm favourite.

What should a Bride consider when choosing her wedding flowers?
One of the first things you should ask yourself, is what is your wedding dress like? This should act as an invaluable starting point for the tone and feel for the day, and what type of theme you wish to create. Flowers play a massive part in contributing to the delivery of this theme. For example, if your dress is of celtic design, bouquets and floral arrangements featuring scottish flowers such as thistles and heather may be appropriate, tied with tartan ribbon. Another example, would be if the dress has a full bodied skirt like a princess. In this case, shower bouquets, trailing downwards work well, creating attention and drawing the eye to the large skirt.

One more top tip for Brides?
We have seen many unhappy brides who toss their bouquet at the end of the evening, only to suddenly realise that some other lucky lady is going home with a key momento of their day! I recommend that if brides wish to toss their bouquet that they should think about making two identical bouquets. One will be used for the full day and for the bride to take home to keep (and dry and press if they wish). The second, is designed with the sole purpose of tossing at the reception only.

Indian food is not too hard to find, there are hundreds of restaurants up and down the country, and all who’ll say they are happy to and can cater for your big event.

Ok now picture the scene… you ask your favourite Indian restaurant owner if he can cater for your wedding of 500 guests, and he says “sure, no problems”. Your big day comes around and you sit down to eat, you tuck into that favourite dish from that restaurant and after that first bite you are thinking “Why doesn’t it taste like it does in the restaurant…?”

The simple fact is that whereas restaurants are great at cooking food for 50-80 people, the logistics and operation of serving hundreds of guests are beyond their level of expertise.

You won’t find an AGS Events restaurant on your local High Street, in fact you won’t even find us a take away service, AGS Events are dedicated event caterers – we have many years of big event experience and our award winning chefs have cooked thousands of meals for thousands of people and always deliver mouth watering food.

Watch this space for an announcement of our exclusive venues and catering options for next year.
