I was revisiting some past work & still Jess + Hamish’s wedding holds a special spot. I don’t think I’ve used Hakea in bridal bouquet since so it’s forever Jess’ flower in my books 💛💛

I honestly feel so emotional reading back on these testimonies from gorgeous clients 🤍 every wedding is an honour to be a part of. I feel so privileged every time a couple chooses to have me create florals for their wedding day. I go from being a stranger to being in the fold of people’s lives, at this incredible pinnacle of life that is laced with so much optimism, joy, love, hope. To bring beautiful blooms that honour them is the least, most & only thing I can do 🤍🤍🤍
As always, thank you to the amazing photographers who capture the flowers & share their amazing work. Photographers in order ~

Sophie + Dave 🤍 were married on a perfect day at , captured by 🤍
I love all the floral moments throughout this day! Sophie’s family made the copper vases themselves which (if you’ve been to my store - it shouldn’t be a surprise) I loved!! Such a fun + creative way for everyone to be involved 🤍
I’m so excited to be a part of Vows & Vendors at Spring Bay Mill ~ it’s set to be a unique wedding planning experience this September 🤍 here’s a glimpse into some of the incredible weddings that I have had the privilege to be a part of, at .
One reason I’m stoked is because Spring Bay Mill is a unique venue that aligns with Wildly Abigail’s core values. Just to name a few:
🤍 their mission has been to regenerate the site through up-cycling the remaining industrial infrastructure, repairing the landscape through conservation and paying respect to its indigenous legacy
🤍 their regeneration and sustainability commitments has so far seen 25,000 endemic plants added to the land and the return of local animals
🤍 waste management is taken super seriously with renewable energy used across the site, water management seeing rainwater catchments added, and all packaging is compostable or biodegradable
🤍 they have an epic garden which feeds the kitchen with seasonal produce
I could seriously go on! This place is so incredible & shows what can be achieved when we commit to strong eco values 👏
And lastly ~ another reason I’m stoked is because I’ll be there with industry friends (some of the best vendors you could hope for on your wedding!) and the legendary management team at SBM 🤍
Ok that’s all 😘 tickets via springbaymill.com 🤍 see you lovebirds there. X

It’s a very large wreath! Finished just in time for the official festive month start-up tomorrow 🎄⭐️ enjoy this background insight, conveniently beginning from after I hung it up - skipping past me struggling big time to get the initial shape right 😂 vine honestly has a mind of its own! Also this is an example of low waste & sustainable Christmas decorating! All compostable & utilising by-product of yearly pruning. 100% local. Yay! 🎄⭐️ #christmas #windowdisplay #festive #sustainability #sustainablechristmas #nowaste #launceston #launcestonchristmas
