It's hardly surprising; pearls are so easy to include in your wedding aesthetic and their neutral tone with iridescent detail can help you create a truly classic look that really stands the test of time. From pearl bridal veils to pearl detailing on wedding cakes, there are so many ways to jump on the Pearlcore trend.
As summer peters out and the autumn chill moves in, you may be struggling to think of a beautiful, colourful flower that is in full bloom to feature in your autumn wedding florals. Why not consider dahlias? These beautiful, autumnal flowers are full of colour and perfect for featuring in bridal bouquets, centrepieces, buttonholes and even large floral displays!
