We would like to know which flowers, colours and arrangements are traditionally used in the UK. Thank you!
(this arrangement is to be send to the family home, not to the funeral)
Funeral bouquets can be any flowers or colours, but lilies, white. are the most usual for conveying condolences,
I am getting married next year and I want a few ideas of what flowers are nice to use for a summer UK wedding.
I like peony roses and tulips.
I’d say go with the roses and peonies. The tulips in my opinion wouldn’t go with those flowers. Then add some greenery I heard recently that people are putting herbs in as greenery. Maybe some rosemary or thyme? The woodiness of their aroma should go nicely with the sweetness of the rose and the peony.

I have been told it is illegal, is it? And why?
Im just wundering here, caus where I come from (Scandinavia) we pick wildflowers, we still have loads of them, so could it be that in UK the reason for NOT picking flowers, is caus you don't have as much forest. Most of it was cut down for farming?
Try a google;

Some are protected because they're rare. When you pick them you stop the flowers developing into seedpods, so damage their chances of breeding. Don't do it.

I'm not a gardener but it's something I've always wondered. I did a search and this site http://www.ypte.org.uk/docs/factsheets/env_facts/britains_rareflowers.html seems to be quite interesting.
i think this is the rite answer lol ! coastal shingle and grassland support rare arable plants such as Red Hempnettle, Small-flowered Buttercup and Corn Parsley

Try www.scillyflowers.co.uk for a small firm giving excellent service, growing flowers on St. Martins, one of the beautiful Isles of Scilly. This firm gives local employment to the islanders, and the flowers are grown on site, not flown in from Africa, so the environmental cost is less.
I'm looking to plant some outdoors flowers for winter. Don't want anything too big or shrub like, just a few small potted plants/flowers that will thrive in the cold. Any ideas as to where I could start? Am looking for preferably English plants/flowers please.
