If you are choosing English wedding flowers for a traditional Suffolk ceremony, the most popular flowers are Roses because they are a symbol of love and admired for their beauty. They are an obvious timeless choice, as they have been grown in the UK for centuries and like Freesias, Lilies and Chrysanthemums, are available all year round. Roses look wonderful in table arrangements and in hand ties and offer a good variety of colours to choose from to suit your special day.
Seasonal flowers, locally produced are also good for a traditional style wedding because they are quintessentially British. As much as 90 per cent of flowers are imported into the UK, however, recent years has seen a growing appeal of British grown flowers.
Locally produced wedding flowers offer great value for money and provide fantastic sources of inspiration. They are environmentally friendly too as they don’t have to be sourced from an exotic or overseas destination, so they will reduce your carbon footprint.
Here we shall look at wedding flowers sourced from Suffolk or other parts of the UK to complement the perfect English country wedding.

Gerberas look almost like a Daisy and are available in a range of colours and can be teamed with other blooms to create cheerful displays.
