Shelley and Blair were fantastic! They were keen to have a “riot” of colour and we were happy to oblige. Shelley asked for bright and bold blooms for her bouquet and handed us a challenge with the addition of strings of orchid blooms to her bouquet. They were married in the Lokier Gardens with a reception at the Uplands Glof Club to follow. We were thrilled to catch Shelley and her bridesmaids as they were getting ready to leave the Villa Marco Polo where they were having their pictures taken by the extremely talented Keri Coles. Thank you Shelley for allowing us to snap a few pictures of you for our records. Everyone looked beautiful, the cascading blooms of orchids looked perfect against the subtle beading detail of Shelleys gown and the bright pinks, oranges and greens of the bridesmaids bouquets really ”popped” with the pewter coloured dresses that they wore. The guys looked brilliant in their celedon green vests and ties. We very much look forward to seeing the “real” thing through the lens of Keri! Check out her blog with a bit of a sneek peek http://www.kericoles.com/blog Thank you again Shelley and Blair it was a treat for us to work with you!

This was such a great wedding to be a part of. Orchestrated and catered by Feys & Hobbs, this lovely intimate wedding was held in the spectacular garden of the Villa Marco Polo, on a beautiful sunny evening in May. The bride is from Namibia and the groom from right here in Victoria. We were totally up for the challenge when she gave us the most spectacular porcupine quills and polka dot feathers from guinea fowl that she had brought with her from Namibia, to be incorporated in to the floral decor. We also flanked the entrance arch with both Namibian and Canadian flags. The table centres were “tablescapes” with rocks and driftwood collected from local beaches, a spectacular dome of creamy white roses and small pots of baby tears all surrounded with candles. The fabulous Gillian Davidson was the photographer and we wait with anticipation of her images. In the mean time here is a sneak peek of the day.

Rebecca Wellman and Michelle Lowen from Ruby joon studios joined us in our studio to capture some images of us at work. They have posted about it on their blog and here is a little sneek peak. We love discovering new vendors to work with (Rebecca and Michelle have both been around for a long time, but Rubyjoon is just now making it’s debut!), and getting the chance to swap stories and ideas. Thank you Rebecca and Michelle for a great visit, we felt so glamorous!

We stopped counting after 100. Simple, elegant, stunning…..

This year we decided to showcase our designs at the annual Mother’s Day Gala at the Bay. We chose bright punchy pinks and greens to go along with their themes. We used an abundance of orchids, roses, hydrangea and of course the all star bloom this time of year the peony! Everytime they come around and we get a chance to work with these spectacular flowers, we are reminded of why they really are one of the all time best when it comes to exquisite flowers.
