It's always a privilege to be a part of a wedding and help create a lovely atmosphere for the day. The process of meeting with a bride for the first time to discuss her flowers, and as the day comes closer, watching out at the markets as the flowers she's chosen start to come into season, then finally creating the arrangements and meeting her on her big day is really special.

The smile on a bride's face the moment she first holds her bouquet is pricesless, and absolutely makes my day.

Catherine and Sean's wedding was no exception. Firstly, what a gorgeous day for a wedding! Not a cloud in the sky, warm winter sun... perfect!

Here are a couple of snaps of their flowers...



Friday afternoon saw us creating table centres of tall tortured willow, decorated with individually wired pink dendrobium orchids.

The shop felt a bit like an enchanted forest with all of these cherry blossom-esque arrangements! (It was quite nice being surrounded by them, and we were quite reluctant to let them go! Never mind - they had a wedding reception to make gorgeous, so I delivered them to the city on Saturday morning).



Catherine chose a soft, dense posy of David Austin roses, Julia roses, strawberry bush, blushing bride, freesias and dusty miller foliage. With the David Austins opening up, the bouquet smelled fabulous! (They say smell is one of the strongest triggers for memory, so I hope every time she smells roses, Catherine will think of her special day!)

A beautiful winter day, a happy bride and a shop full of flowers. Lovely!
