Lots of rustic dried florals for the Pop Up Emporium and my 13yr old daughter Hannah had her first crotchet market stall🙂

We gathered at Katie's Cocktail Cafe on Saturday and these clever ladies wrangled wild vines and wove their own wreath bases in the warm afternoon sun. Each one so unique and will last for years to re-decorate throughout the seasons.

I think winter is now officially my favourite season to make wreaths - a lot less sweat, flies and mozzies than at Christmas time :)

It's begun and you'll definitely need your jumper :) So much to see and do over the next 10 days in our Warwick region https://jumpersandjazz.com.au/

Rachael from Diamondvale Estate, Stanthorpe organised a private bush floristry workshop for her guests. It was an absolutely delightful morning - a pioneer hut on the creek, invigorating winter air, a walk in the bush garden (with secateurs), a great bunch of people, our timber troughs to arrange in and we were all set. Oh and delicious morning tea by the open fire. I didn't want to leave :) How beautiful does Rachael's arrangement look in the homestead.

Thank you to the Warwick Men's Shed Inc for making these rustic timber troughs (my new favourite vessel to arrange in) :)

A favourite tip for saving money on wedding flowers - consider making your own table arrangements. Something simple, like jam jar posies, always work, and can be a fun and meaningful thing to do with your nearest and dearest. They're also easy to move about and gift afterwards. Little rippers!

Fresh greenery garlands.

Lush and low and full of interest with a delightful scent of the Australian bush.

So many varieties of eucalyptus are at their absolute best condition during the cooler months. If you're planning something special, perhaps a winter wedding or Christmas in July dinner, this is a classic crisp option - especially with white and a touch of bling.

A big thank you to Jacinta Louise Photography who captured these images in the cottage at Holy Red Deer Estate Esk.

Bridal Showers and Table Flowers 💗 Why not do both with a dried flower workshop.

Gather your hens and sip, nibble and natter while creating gorgeous table flowers. Unlike fresh flowers, these can be arranged weeks ahead and popped in a box ready for your big day 🙌
