Shehani and Mahesh

More wedding photos, hooray!

This one took place at a gorgeous church in Mosman, followed by a reception at Sergeants Mess.

White and purple flowers sat beautifully against a perfect white wedding dress and a rich purple bridesmaid dress. For the bouquets, we used roses, freesias, folded codyline foliage and camellia leaves. (The freesias smelled fantastic!)

We created lovely tall arrangements for the reception at Sergeants Mess. Tall designs on a dining table can be a bit of a challenge, as they can be hard to chat over! We avoided making this a big issue by placing the bulk of the flowers above chatting height, with just a few orchids inside the vase.

Shehani loved the idea of hanging baubles filled with tealight candles... gorgeous! A handy tip for anyone else who loves this look - it's not always an option to have real candles (check with your venue and your florist to make sure). We used battery operated tealights instead for the same twinkly light without any dramas.

I'm noticing that lots of couples are opting not to have the traditional "long and low" arrangement on a long bridal table. We took a modern approach to the traditional design - magnolia branches and dodder vine created our base, which we decorated with posies of lisianthus and stems of phalaenopsis orchids. I love the texture and depth as the arrangement snakes it's way down the table - it's nice to do something slightly quirky, (but not inappropriately out-there"!)!

I wish we had a photo of the gorgeous day this wedding was held on - the sun was shining, the sky was clear and it was deliciously warm. A perfect setting for an elegant, joyful wedding! Shehani and Mahesh - thanks for sharing your day and your photos with us!

Dannika and Joe

Hello hello!

I have just received some stunning photos of a beautiful wedding we did the flowers for last year!

We created Dannika's bouquet with an elegant garden style in mind. We used all white flowers - David Austin roses (which smelled lovely!), ranunculus, sweet peas, pieris and freesias - with magnolia foliage and little green vibernum berries to give it that "relaxed formal" look.

I love that even though it's a white bouquet, the contrast with green and brown and all that of lovely texture makes it stand out agains a white dress - stunning but not be too attention seeking!

Zest, at The Spit, was a lovely venue to work in. Dark timber floors and neutral (textured and gorgeous!) walls offered a moden and elegant canvas for us to decorate. Like the bridal party flowers, we wanted designs that would be formal (but not too stuffy!), relaxed and elegant at the same time.

Cube vases filled with seasonal white posies brought that elegant garden feel inside (and smelled pretty amazing thanks to all the hyacinths!)

Loved working on this wedding - what a gorgeous way for Dannika and Joe to start their happily ever after. (Thanks for sharing with us!)
