Moody hues coupled with romantic roses and and pretty ruffles are quite the striking mix. Inspired by the sophisticated ambiance, often found in British tableware and wallpaper patterns, Weddingbells was inspired to go town with this amazing cakes and flowers shoot. From a six-tiered painted cake to a pillow confection, here are six wedding floral arrangements and sweet treats to help inspire you for your own wedding day style. Enjoy!

Inspired by the femininity of delicate flowers? Go beyond bouquets and centrepieces by incorporating beautiful blooms into your wedding in unexpected ways. Pick a dress that has rose detailing and add pretty petals to your cakes and cupcakes as well. Dress your bridesmaids in pastel colours that match your bouquet, floral patterned dresses, or frocks with dainty rosette appliques. Let your theme shine through on your invites as well by choosing stationery with an understated illustration of your favourite bloom.

The crisp weather has inspired us to find the best in fall centrepieces. Warm autumn colours and unique textures are some of the things that we love most about fall. Whether you choose bouquets of wheat and pine cones for your rustic-themed wedding or traditional floral arrangements in deep reds and oranges for your traditional affair, autumnal themes are warm and inviting when the temperatures outside start to dip.
