It seems like forever since we had some straight up sunshine, but at last the mornings are getting brighter and the days longer. Spring is definitely on it’s way, and that means for those who are newly engaged it’s time to get properly into the planning stages of your wedding day.

It’s been a busy time at Floral Couture by David McConkey, we’ve embraced a slight tweak to our name, which don’t worry, still includes The Bride’s Butler Wedding Planning Service and we’ve been celebrating wonderful winter weddings across the country, we’ve included a few images in this blog.

Wedding season is well and truly upon us and for David it’s one of his favourite times of the year. Not only does he get to spend valuable time with his clients but also gets to work alongside fantastic suppliers who collaborate to create truly magical weddings.

You might be used to seeing David and his stunning wedding flowers but there are many other perfect locations and uses for plants, foliage and blooms, at home, in the work place, to name a few. Flowers evoke happy feelings and can help create a customer experience that is memorable.

What do wedding flowers cost really? It's a question we get asked all the time by brides who are bewildered by how what they thought would be enough is so different from the quotes they've been given.

The winter season is a unique and beautiful time of the year, yes, the weather can be a little hit or miss but the trends that come with this special time are stunning. Festive decorations, glowing lights and roaring fires – it’s truly magical.
