8185 A beautiful bouquet of fragrant hyacinth florets, studded with pearl pins and tucked into a rose or carnation bloom. The bouquet is wrapped in a collar of aspidistra.
8183 Display glasses of pretty pastel hyacinths on a mirror tray for double the flower pleasure! Striped china grass and dainty bouvardia buds keep things subtle.
 8253 Caladium leaves and curcuma in white and hot pink cluster together in richly coloured towers. Peacock feathers add a whisper of exotica.

8264 A traditionally constructed bouquet in pastel shades of lime and pink - very English. But look closer and you'll see something strange... Lime green loofah circles, stripy porcupine quills... the snakeskin wrap just adds to the mystery.

8191 Pure white tulips and the soft young leaves of horse chestnut, tied with black lace - simple yet striking.
 8128 Simple, yet seductively sumptuous. An abundance of pastel-shaded roses are surrounded by a delicate ruff of soft white lisianthus. The whole bouquet is dressed in a feather boa, softly sprayed with silver.

8116 Gorgeous mint green Prado carnations look stunning en masse, the stems tied with glittering rhinestone strands. Black-painted birch twigs add a dangerous and dramatic edge, making the bouquet sexy, not sugary.
 9801 For a take on the traditional tied bouquet, wrap small bouquets of seasonal flowers in pretty paper and ribbon and hand out to guests as they leave the church. The petals can then be removed and thrown on the bride and g groom as an alternative to confetti.
 9788 Create clean, crisp table centrepiece by decorating the edge of a clear crystal bowl with colourful long stemmed flowers.
