For this autumn, vintage is the word in bridal bouquets. From frilly two toned hydrangea to creamy peonies and spray roses. The mood has definitely changed from the previously hard edged modern to a more accessible retro chic. Check out the garden roses which are becoming very fashionable. With its
blousy blooms and fragrant petals, a rose is no longer simply a rose.
