Fragrant wedding flowers...



Hello there!

We had a lovely time creating these beautiful bouquets for Katarina's wedding.

A selection of white avalanche roses, peach and cream David Austin roses, white lisianthus, white freesias and magnolia foliage were used in all of the bouquets, but we added beautiful beige Julia roses to the bridal bouquet.

To complement an nautical inspired theme, the stems were bound in navy and white striped grosgrain ribbon. While white or ivory ribbons always look lovely and elegant, I love using textured or patterned ribbons. They are one of those cheeky little details that can really be a personal finishing touch on a bouquet to further complement the theme of the day.

When you work with flowers all day every day, you tend not to notice all the gorgeous fragrance that surrounds you... it's very easy just to get used to it! Which is a bit sad - especially when you're making stunning bouquets of deliciously fragrant flowers like David Austin roses and freesias!

BUT, a particularly nice thing happened to me on Saturday morning. As I was delivering Katarina's flowers, nestled nicely in their box on the passenger seat of the van, all the little freesias started to open up - perfect timing! - and all of a sudden I could smell freesias! And they were LOVELY.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
