Hot topic: Fabulous foliage

Our experts talk winter wonderland weddings.

Jo says: Winter flowers, foliage, berries and seed heads are bursting with texture and colour and can really help to set the tone of your wedding. Foliage remains a strong trend for the year ahead, and it is worth noting that not only are varieties plentiful during the winter months but that quality is at its peak.
Think rich, jewel-toned seasonal flowers complemented by lush green foliage and textured berries in abundant hand-tied bouquets for a decadent still-life look. 

Try combining the deepest-hued black baccara roses or crimson garden roses such as David Austin Darcey with viburnum steel berries, red skimmia foliage, scabious seed heads, anemones or hellebores and eryngium thistles for a rich, warm and decadent look. Silk or velvet ribbons in complementary colours such as teal, claret, petrol blue or steel grey can add another dimension of colour and interest.

If you prefer a crisp, classic look, opt for white and ivory flowers complemented by a mix of deep glossy green foliage and a hint of grey for texture, thus creating a demure and classic feel.

Try combining crisp white avalanche roses, white anemones, eucaris or ivory cymbidium orchids alongside grey eucalyptus cinerea or berried eucalyptus populus, ivory hypericum berries and evergreen foliage such as spruce and pine.
