WRIST CORSAGES WEDDING/FORMALS

Time was well spent this week designing and producing wrist corsages suitable for the year 12 formal season which happens every year. I have done numerous corsages over the years for many clients but this year is different as my own daughter is now at that stage. So we tried out various styles etc but am still to produce the "right one" Here are some images of styles tried this week. We are still working on it.

LILY BOUQUETS

Orange black and white was the theme for Lauren and David's wedding at Hillstone St Lucia on Saturday 20 February.

The bridesmaid's wore black and carried vibrant posy shape bouquets of orange asiatic lilies, green berries and tropical leaves. Lauren carried a white asiatic lily bouquet with orange freesias and green berries.

The table centre pieces were float bowls filled with black glass pebbles and orange lilies sitting on a mirror base. We carried this theme through to the cake top and bridal table flowers. Very bright and stunning indeed.

PINK BOUQUETS

Friday afternoon 19 February 2010 I provided a couple of very simple Bouquets of Pink Siam Tulips with black ribbon detail for the bride and her 3 bridesmaids.. I hadn't met the bride Paige before but she was thrilled with the flowers. I hope the afternoon clouds stayed away as they headed off for photos to the Roma St Gardens prior to their ceremony at The Urban Hotel.

MOCK WEDDING SHOOT

Towards the end of January I had the pleasure of coming together with a several other wedding suppliers to do a "Mock Wedding Shoot" at the Toowong Rowing Club.

Melanie of Melanie Rose Photography shot some amazing photos around the location of our two models Tegan and Bec who were transformed for the afternoon by the wonderful make up artist Michelle West and hair stylist Lucie Grevell of Bella Brides. The girls gowns were supplied by Black Tie - White Lace of the Gap.

I provide table centre pieces of floating pink lisianthius and several bouquets. One of the posy bouquets consisted of silk roses with pearl detail and the other a hand tied bouquet of pink and white roses and lisianthius with a stephanotis flower trail.

Thanks to everyone's efforts we have some amazing photos for our use. Thanks Melanie.

CREAM AND WHITE WEDDING BOUQUET

Friday 5 February 2010 saw the wedding of Louise and Ben. The ceremony was held at Newstead Park and the reception at one of my favourite venues Hillstone at St Lucia. The bride carried a teardrop shape bouquet of white and cream lisianthus with white freesias and singapore orchids. The bridesmaids and flower girls carried hand tied posy shape bouquets of pink, white and mauve freesias. The theme of the freesias was carried through to the simple vases of freesias on the reception tables.

ROSE WEDDING BOUQUET WITH PEARL DETAIL

On a very sultry Saturday afternoon of 2 January 2010 Hayley and Airmen were married at The Summit Restaurant at Mt Coot tha. The bride looked amazing in an all white dress . She carried a natural stem posy shape bouquet of white roses with a scattering of pale peach roses . Dotted throughout the bouquet were large white pearls on wires as she loves all things pearl. Her sister carried bouquet a similar bouquet of peach roses with cream pearls interspersed. All the guests sat a one large table which had 12 single white roses in small vases as the centre piece.

I had the pleasure again of running into Kelly Weaver of Bridal Hair as she weaved her magic once more.
