Wedding Show, SECC


On 20th and 21st September 2008, Floral Haven exhibited alongside other specialists in the wedding industry at the S.E.C.C. in Glasgow. Our stand caught the attention of many brides and their Mums, who especially loved our handmade sparkly wire cuff bracelets.

We love doing the Wedding Show, as we get to chat to brides from all over Scotland (and we get a day away from the shop, AND there's an endless supply of chocolate fountains, shortbread and tablet to pinch from other stands!)
This year, we designed our stand in a Spring/Summer beach wedding theme. (Although it's a brave or foolhardy bride who plans a beach wedding in Scotland - veil flying on the wind; numb blue fingers, heels sinking in the sand - and that's mid June!!)

Many brides loved our scented white hyacinth centrepiece cubes and perfumed narcissus displays with fresh cut limes - so much so, we're already planning versions of these for our Spring Collection (but at this point Christmas comes first!)

We used lots of natural, driftwood-type textures, coco fibre and shells, and kept our flower palette to fresh, Summery whites and greens with....peach! There you go - our top trend tip for next Summer's weddings - Peach is the new Pink! Teamed with shades of soft green such as double lisianthus, peachy roses will rule next Summer - just forget about the gyp and peach satin bridesmaids dresses or you'll be in a 70's timewarp!

Our dramatic piece of Ghostwood borrowed from the shop made a useful and decorative framework on which to display our designer bouquets.

If you want to know more about anything you see here, call the shop or email us!
