There’s nothing more stressful than having to plan a wedding. Every detail needs to be right – the dress, the cake, the… groom. Your wedding isn’t just meant to be the most perfect day of your life – it’s also your best opportunity to show your impeccable sense of style and taste off to friends and relatives. So making the right choices is of the utmost importance. But every girl knows what the truly important decision is – which flowers to choose?

Flowers aren’t just part of the décor at your wedding or reception. Your flowers should speak – what kind of a wedding is this? Do you want elegant orchids, simple lilies or romantic roses? Your flowers will end up being one of the most memorable aspects of the wedding to other guests, and you want that lasting impression to sum up the whole day. Why not stand out and order flowers internationally ? Offer your guests a tropical beauty, like Birds of Paradise, and give your wedding that extra something to make it stand out from the rest.

They also need to match your other decorations. It probably doesn’t need to be pointed out that ordering red roses for display in a bright purple or green marquee is not really a great idea. Sometimes contrasting colours can work well, but often simplicity is best – choose flowers that match the colours you’re already using, or highlight colours in other aspects of the wedding. A lot of people find that matching the colours of their flowers to the bridesmaid dresses ties in the colour scheme of the wedding beautifully. For example, think about having violets if your bridesmaids’ dresses are purple.

There’s more to flowers than just the way they look, too. Always consider the scent of your flowers. Sweet-smelling flowers dotted around the venue will keep your wedding party smelling fresh and aromatic even into the early hours of the morning, after many pints have been spilled. Try frangipani flowers for an exotic eastern fragrance that’ll have all your guests in a swoon.

Finally, once you’ve chosen which type of flowers, you need to know how many you want before you can put in for that flower delivery. It’s important not to overdo it – you don’t want your wedding reception to evoke the atmosphere of a tropical jungle, and your guests will ideally still need to move around. A few tasteful bouquets on tables and even some displays mounted on the walls will be enough – it’s the quality of your flowers that should stand out, not the quantity.

So you’re going over the details with your wedding planner. These days, the world is your oyster – whether the flowers you want come from the UK, America, Asia – it’s easy to order flowers international. Don’t forget, before you put in for that flower delivery – your flowers will be your guests’ lasting impression of your wedding. Make them special.

Spring 2012 is all about colour. Bold patterns and prints are going to be everywhere this season and maternity clothes are no exception.

With some great styles and colours available to cheer up the dullest of days, you can stay in style and on fashion by adding a few choice pieces to your maternity wardrobe.

When looking at your style of maternity dress, consider the shape and the cut but also consider the pattern very carefully. Smaller patterns can make your dress look bigger than it actually is so consider using elements of smaller pattern to balance out your body and create a more symmetrical shape to your outfit. Bold large pattern can make average maternity dresses look so much better reducing the apparent side of your body and creating a flattering look that will give you confidence and style.

Patterns and detail can also be used on target areas of your maternity clothes so that you can draw the eye away from problem areas during your pregnancy and make sure everyone is seeing the features that you are most proud of.

There seems to be no limit to the colours and designs that you can use this season. The message is clear, opt for bold, brave patterns with colour to match and you will have a fresh look that is going to be on trend and have you feeling great throughout your pregnancy.
