Islington Council

Flowers are one of the most important elements of your big day. Not only do they provide colour and scent, but they symbolize life, growth, and rebirth. Decisions regarding flowers are generally made once wedding or partnership outfits have been chosen. These can include floral arrangements for the ceremony and reception, bouquets, headdresses, posies, corsages, buttonholes and cake flowers

Some of the Approved Venues throughout Islington and the City of London will include floral arrangements as part of their wedding or ceremony service. Others may make a charge. Most will allow you to supply your own floral decorations.

A florist should be given notice of the ceremony approximately four months in advance so that he/she is free on the day. They will want to discuss precise details around six weeks before the ceremony. When deciding on a florist, seek personal recommendations from friends or visit several florists and look at their displays. Most will allow you to visit at a time when they have prepared flowers for other ceremonies so that you can see the quality of their work.

There are numerous florists throughout Islington and the City of London. For more information visit www.yell.com.
