An abundance of seasonal foliages, fruits and flowers for a warm March evening wedding at Farm Vigano

Red Wedding

A luscious bouquet with red roses and dark trailing foliage was the  bouquet brief for Fiona and Jesse’s March wedding, roseberry and  white dusted tetragona nuts add interest and texture.

The five bridesmaids carried the native theme through in dusty pinks with bouvardia and snowberry for softness and  scent.

Snowberry and tetragona also featured in the wrist corage for the groom’s maid (yes that’s a thing)  and the the buttonholes for the boys.

The gorgeous red rose in Fiona’s bouquet is the fabulous newcomer Grand Jubilee from Grandiflora….our new favourite!

Big is Beautiful

Jessica wanted a luscious big bouquet for her December wedding and Sacha was happy to oblige, with white peonies, snap dragons, hydrangea, garden roses and loads of ferns, foliages and queen annes lace.

The bride’s maid bouquet was just as lush,  in deep pinks and crimson with peonies, succulents and heavenly scented Mr Lincoln roses.

Sometimes big is better!

 

Grey Goose, White Avalanche

2014 saw the launch of Grey Goose Vodka and we were absolutely delighted to be asked to do the florals.
The venue was Thomas Olive at Saint Crispin where the mantelpieces bore heavy vases of white Avalanche roses, cymbidium orchids and black ivy berry against a dramatic backdrop of giant, darkest green monstera deliciosa leaves.

Sweet November

November in Melbourne is the official start of the (all too short)  peony season and so it was only fitting that 1st of November Bride Audrey, should carry glorious white peonies in her bouquet. With white sweet peas, Queen Anne’s lace, nigela and  the first of the season’s David Austin roses it was a soft, sweet smelling delight.

For the bridesmaids we added  dusty pink garden roses, rice flower and hypericum berries for a sweetly Spring feel.

This is the reason that so many brides plan their weddings for this time of the year.

Colour Pop

 

August bride Belinda wanted some gorgeous blooms to bring pops of colour into her special day. Her bouquet was vibrant fuschia and tangerine tones while her bridesmaid had peaches, dusty pink and creams.

The florals celebrate the hight of late winter’s bounty…stocks, delphinium, snapdragons, sweet pea, poppies, ranunculus and euphorbia. Along with rosemary,  jasmine, peppercorns and garden roses the arrangements had a relaxed, fun feel to them.

Mason jars were nestled among foliage for the reception.

On a bright, crisp winters day, a rainbow of colourful blooms was the finishing touch to this glorious wedding.

 

Bloomin’ beautiful if you ask us!

Chic Noir

A steep spiral staircase leads from Saint Crispin to Thomas Olive, a darkly glamorous Parisian style bar.
Julia and Cameron have chosen this elegant space for their milestone Birthday celebrations.
Winter florals are at one with the space, from the gothic beauty of magnolia buds on branches, Victorian Red roses and opium poppy pods to the season’s ornamental kale, sea holly and amethyst hyacinth.

A Summer Wedding Revisited

Most often when doing wedding flowers we are working against the clock and it is a miracle if we manage to snap off one or two  photos of the bouquets, so it is a lovely treat when our newly weds share with us some of their photos of the big day.

Vincent and Akiko were married just before christmas at a Salix, a beautiful Mornington Peninsula winery, beneath a lovely spreading tree decorated with white hanging flowers.

 

Delicate white David Austin and blue moon, roses with hydrangea, Queen Anne’s lace and silver suede were the choice of flowers for the bouquet, buttonholes and table decorations.

 

Succulent Sensation

 

This gorgeous and unusual  wedding bouquet with it’s varied forms and textures was given a traditional twist with a binding of beautiful antique lace.

 

Succulents, natives, seed heads, and berries combined with lisianthus, silver suede and celosia in a rich palette of greens, reds and whites. A fabulous fragrance was provided by  herbs such as tarragon, thyme  and scented geranium.

The groom and groomsmen’s buttonholes carried the theme through in miniature.

 

 

 

Wedding Bells

 

For Adriana’s pretty March wedding, sparkling glass bell jars enclosed sweet little  flower tableaux in peach, ivory and mint tones.

Jars of roses, hydrangea, berries and sliver suede were interspersed with fluffy puffs of gypsophila, and the bell jars, each with it’s own unique creation inside, along the long tables creating a magical scene.

 

 

Adriana’s bouquet carried on the theme in peach David Austin roses, hydrangea and silver suede with touches of gyp and peach hypericum berries.
