So, recently I had to send some supporting information into the Scottish Wedding Awards (you can find out more about them here) and it made me reflect on my journey with Wildflower & Willow and I cannot believe how quickly time goes!

As we head into 2024 let’s talk some time to look at what may be coming our way with floral trends for 2024. As I always say though – go with what you love! Trends are always a good indication of what is going to be popular, but don’t be sucked in with something because it’s all over the ‘gram if it’s not for you!

I spend my working life immersed in a world of floral fantasies, with blossoms and celebrations, but my love of winter weddings stretches way beyond the flowers.
