In fact, working within a budget for a lavish wedding is just as important to couples as it is for a smaller wedding, as the space to be decorated is usually much larger, creating its own challenges for your wedding flower designer. So when looking around for a supplier of wedding flowers, Essex couples frequently look to Tolly's to ensure that they achieve the best possible impact for the budget they have in mind.

Getting the Most from Your Wedding Flowers
Working within a budget isn't just about choosing the best value flowers based on the current season and availability – although we will obviously take that into account and can advise couples about this as part of the initial consultation. At Tolly's it means maximising the impact of your designs and arrangements so that they create the atmosphere you want for your ceremony and reception.
Achieving this requires experience, imagination and a host of techniques – all of which are at your disposal when Tolly's are designing the wedding flowers for your Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk or Hertfordshire wedding.
Here is just a flavour of the many ideas and techniques we use to work within your budget and maximise the visual impact of your wedding flowers.
Intelligent Re-Use
One of the first things we will look at is how your flower arrangements can be re-used in different ways on the day. For instance, flowers that were used to decorate your ceremony venue, and perhaps also car decorations, can be transported to the reception venue and used again, either as they are, or rearranged into decorations for table tops, doorways, columns and so on. As well as being a common sense way of getting the best value from your flowers, many couples appreciate the eco-friendliness of this approach. But it makes great sense for your wedding atmosphere too, as it helps to create a sense of continuity between the ceremony and reception and pull the day together as a single event.
Designing for Atmosphere
Flowers have a unique ability to make any event or location feel that much more special, which is why flowers continue to be such an important feature of modern weddings. So at Tolly's we pay special attention to how a space will feel, not just how it will look. For a low key reception, perhaps in a modest village hall or small hotel function room, the simple addition of the right floral arrangements can turn an ordinary space into something that feels enchanting and luxurious. At the other end of the spectrum a large hotel reception room or marquee can feel rather empty, but with the right choice of flowers can be made to feel a lot more intimate and inviting.
Using Non-Floral Elements
We frequently make use of non-floral elements such as mirrors, glassware, candles, ribbons and more to create displays which are stunning but less dependent on the quantity of flowers in the arrangement. These elements add sparkle and glamour while also creating designs which are completely unique to your wedding. For example, this modestly sized table display punches over its weight in terms of impact and appeal through the use of reflection and colour.
Integrating With Your Wedding Design
We don't just design gorgeous bridal bouquets and buttonholes in isolation – we'll think about the overall colour scheme for the wedding and ensure that these items tie in with the bride's dress and the outfits of the groom, bridesmaids, ushers and so on. Similarly, we don't just design a single tabletop decoration by itself – we'll consider the impact that will be made when there are six, ten or twenty of them together in a room, alongside other elements such as table linen, chair tie-backs and any other design features already present such as columns, windows and beams. For instance in the table top decoration above, the colour scheme closely ties in with the tablecloth and even the carpet to create an overall effect.
Using Shape and Height
Impact isn't just about the quantity of flowers used, the colour scheme or even the size of the arrangement. Often it is the shape of an arrangement that demands attention. In this example of a tall, traditional display of white roses, although the size of each table top decoration is large, only 6 or so were needed to decorate all the tables, but there is no doubting the impact of the overall room.
By contrast, the table top design below is very far from traditional and shows how a relatively small number of traditional blooms can be part of a very contemporary wedding design.
Using Innovation to Add Impact
As well as using flowers in the ways you might expect (bouquets, buttonholes and table decorations) we also have innovative ways of using flowers which add impact for very little expense. For instance, as well as the traditional bouquet a wedding dress can be accessorised with flowers in the veil, train or sleeves to create something completely unique. Cakes can also be transformed with a few simple touches. In this example the flowers do all the talking to create an extremely sophisticated look.
The above examples are just a few of the designs we have created for our many clients over the past 20 years. If you'd like to achieve this level of impact for your own wedding flowers, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire couples are welcome to contact us to arrange a free initial consultation to discuss their requirements.
