1950s-style wedding flowers

Every wedding has a theme of some sort. Be it a simple colour that draws the event together or an elaborate way of tying everything in with the venue décor, there’s always something that makes the day especially memorable.

This year fifties themed weddings are very much on trend. At Fletcher and Foley florists in Sale Moor, they have been inspired by Grace Kelly and Jacqueline Bouvier to produce floral arrangements that epitomise the sophisticated looks from that era.

In the 1950s, UK bridal bouquets were usually shower style, full of foliage and made up of one colour. Roses, lilies and chrysanthemums were all favourites back then, and hydrangeas, scabious and grasses are proving popular with vintage-inspired newlyweds nowadays.

Flowers shape the atmosphere at your wedding – for a nostalgic feel, go for jugs filled with snapdragons, lupins and lavenders. Match them with vintage bunting and floral colours to transform your 2011 celebration into a fifties fiesta.

It's 1950s meets English Country Garden – and it matches perfectly with 1950s-style frocks in floral blues, whites and yellows.

The team at Fletcher and Foley has lots of experience in creating the 1950s vintage look for your wedding. They're also happy providing flowers for all sorts of weddings and work with customers to ensure that the final product is perfect for the celebration.
