Miranda (pictured right) has spectacular blooms with natural cottage garden charm. Miranda blooms gradually open to form a rosette shape, the beautiful, green-streaked outer petals turning back and eventually becoming hidden. Here Miranda is combined with ivy, herbs and grasses to create a classic, domed bouquet.

The magnificent handheld Miranda bouquet shown on the left uses crimson amaranthus with fountain grass to create a spectacular, trailing effect. This type of bouquet can be rested over the arm, held to the front or allowed to trail gracefully to the side.

Juliet (pictured left) is combined with spray-flowered crysanthemum, skimmia and seasonal foliage in a fresh and dainty hand-tied bouquet. This type of posy is relatively light which makes it easy to use for the whole day. Your local florist will be able to suggest designs that will reflect your individual style, from structured, hand-tied designs to fresh, informal posies.

David Austin's cut roses can be combined with your choice of flowers. You may like to create a pretty, romantic style by incorporating trailing ribbon and wired petals. This effect can look sensational on wedding photographs. Juliet is shown on the far right with delicate, white Phalaenopsis orchids in a wired bouquet, dressed with gossamer ribbon.

Rosalind is a demure, blush-pink rose. The subtle shade works well with most colour schemes. The blooms are full and peony-like, with a large button eye in the style of old garden roses. Rosalind is pictured on the left, blended with claret-coloured astrantia and blue veronica. There is a glorious fragrance: strong, complex and deliciously fruity.

Many brides choose Patience for the romantic creamy-buttermilk color. Patience (shown left) in a hand-held bouquet with orange blossom, alchemilla mollis and trailing fountain grass. If you would like to keep your bouquet as a reminder of your day, you may like to refresh it in a vase of clean water to help keep it beautifully fresh.
