Dahlia Season


Autumn means Dahlias and Rose hips are in season! I saw these at the market this week and had to have some for the house - they're placed in a favourite red Bison vase.

When a florist has a wedding...

Albert and I were married in Autumn 08, at Woodlands of Marburg.
We were wed in the little Chapel on the property and had a dusk cocktail reception under a white marquee on the lawn. Our friends and family were able to celebrate and stay the night at the beautiful accommodation on location.

Our little wedding party!

 Bridesmaid's Bouquet

It was wonderful to have all the flowers that I could dream of! And I ensured that I had time to create my own and my sister's bouquets, using favourite flowers, foliages, hues and textures. My favourite of all flowers is the orchid, which featured in the bouquets, alongside beautiful dahlia's, david austen roses, snow berry, flannel flower, aloecacia leaf and chain of hearts. My wonderful florist friend Bart created the arrangements for the chapel and reception - I had him on location working for two days prior!

I always encourage people to allow their floral allowance to reflect how much they value gorgeous design and a beautiful product - and I certainly followed my own advice, ensuring that we had an abundance of extraordinary flowers on our Wedding day, as flowers are a beauty that I most certainly treasure and love.
