Shane Connolly, 47, ‘the artistic director of flowers’ told us that
One of the things that has been very important to Catherine & me are the meanings of flowers & the language of flowers. Especially in the wedding bouquets, which you will see on the day, we’ve tried very much to make beautiful stories.
The trees which will make an avenue of the aisle include English field maples, symbolising humility, & hornbeams for resilience.
The bride would doubtless have had to learn much about this symbolic language for her degree in the History of Art, especially in the study of Medieval & Renaissance painting.
Which makes me think that the dress will be more Medieval than 1930s film star satin – slender, long sleeves & possibly even a collar.
And probably not white. Most probably golden.
I have had a premonition about it.
