10 Fabulous Florists From The North East!
“If you’re feeling spoiled for choice, don’t worry — we feel the same!”
Bridal bouquets have existed for centuries, sometimes not even featuring flowers. In Roman times, brides carried bouquets of grains to symbolise fertility, along with herbs and spices to chase away any evil spirits (you can imagine how it must have smelled!). The bride didn’t always carry the bouquet though; sometimes it would be pinned to her dress, or the contents of the bouquet would be woven into her hair instead. Eventually, what we now consider to be bridal bouquets, with wide and beautiful ranges of flowers, began popping up in Victorian times. Nowadays it’s rare to see a bride without a bouquet of flowers at her ceremony — be it plastic, wildflower, or red roses — and we wanted to showcase some great florists from the North East region, to help you continue that tradition and get some great ideas for your wedding plans!
