Wedding Bouquets for Spring

Mother and daughter team Liz and Claire Cowling are well known for their particular style of English floristry and in their latest venture the take a seasonal approach to bridal bouquets
When you think of classical English style wedding bouquets - what springs to mind? Could it be a particular flower? A rose perhaps? Or perhaps you imagine sumptuous scents and textures from an English country garden. 'Le style Anglais' or the English style is fairly well documented in European minds and although it often involves some aspect of the aforementioned it almost automatically refers to good quality wiring!Liz and Claire Cowling, the mother and daughter team from Thrive, are well-known in the UK floristry industry for their 'English' style bouquets but, in fact, this talented family have moved the concept further. In their latest book, Wedding Bouquets for Spring, they have produced the first in a series of seasonal books which shows their very individual style of presentation. Claire Cowling's work has featured in the Collections section of every Fusion Flowers Weddings magazine - a feature that no other designer has achieved and this is a measure of how highly we regard their designs. Obviously aimed at students and tutors, their gift for creating romantic bouquets has once again produced some beautiful designs. In Issue 41 of Fusion Flowers magazine, Liz and Claire have allowed us a preview of their book which is now available through the Fusion Flowers Marketplace. Every double page spread shows a bridal design together with details of materials, time scales, hints and tips etc.We know that this is bound to become a best selling book and are very grateful for their permission to allow our readers a look at their work.
