We Love…….Geraniums

Geranium – that most ‘old fashioned’ of flowers still has a place in our hearts. Most of us can remember our grandmothers having at least one pot of this bright cheerful flower sitting on the step or verandah, loving the hot summer sun.

So how can we use it as a nod to our favourite grannies, on our wedding day? Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Even the leaves are pretty and could add a frilly element to your bouquets or table arrangements – from Martha Stewart
