Startling aerial pictures show the devastating effects of the rain-soaked spring washing out fields famous for confetti flowers. • The 14-acre site in Worcestershire features six rows of coloured flowers and is only open for a few days each summer. • The Real Flower Confetti Company has opened the fields until July 10 for budding brides and grooms to pick their perfect blooms. • Alarming photos taken two years apart show the dramatic change in the flowers with this year’s wet spring causing many to fail to bloom. • A spokesperson said: “I would imagine that from above the field is not looking as colourful as it has done in the past. • “This is because of the wet weather we had all last year and into this spring, young plants don’t like it too wet, and so they didn’t all survive. • “There are areas of ground that hold more water, and in these parts the flowers didn’t grow so thickly. • “From ground level, looking across the flowers, it still looks fabulous, but I imagine that from above it is much easier to see where the seedlings failed. • “It is visible with our other crops on the farm too – we are right next to the River Avon and flood water lay on the ground for so long in some places, that nothing grew at all. • “If we are going to get wetter and wetter conditions, we will have to find ways to adapt.” • Thousands of couples usually flock to the floral hotspot in Wyke Manor Estate site in Pershore, Worcs., ahead of their nuptials. • The natural confetti is sold by the pint and costs £12 each which is enough for around ten handfuls for guests to throw over newlyweds. • Customers can choose from a range of flowers including delphiniums, roses, hydrangeas, lavender and bougainvillea. • The flowers are handpicked, before being dried and packaged for a personal service. • Workers then pick the flowers before boxing them off for weddings around the globe. • Their bespoke service has been used by various celebrities including Madonna and Guy Ritchie and Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas. • Prince Harry also chose the firm’s pale pink delphinium confetti to throw over Princes Charles and Camilla at their wedding in 2005. • Please subscribe for daily viral videos and check out all our social channels here: https://linktr.ee/swns • To license this video for editorial or commercial use please contact [email protected]
