DRIED FLOWER WEDDING BOUQUETS
Dried flower bouquets offer a nostalgic touch to a bridal theme and are also on trend for this coming wedding season. With their muted tones and delicate textures, dried flowers create an ethereal and romantic look.
These beautiful bouquets were ordered for a wedding at the end of this year. They are made up of strawflowers, ladies mantle, gypsophila, statice, honesty, sweet William and pastel coloured yarrows for a dried bouquet with a boho-chic twist. All ingredients were grown organically on our one acre section.
The perfect thing about dried bouquets is that they can be purchased and collected in advance to take some of the stress out of the wedding planning, freeing you up for other activities.

Found this pic of my first dahlia seedlings I grew in 2019. I only ended up saving one by chance and it’s a definite favourite now. It is often requested by florists and it’s my favourite colour ’yellow’.

An arrangement that went out for a wedding a couple of summers ago. Love the oranges and pinks together 🧡💗

Cascading bouquets are on trend for this summer. I made this one a couple of summers ago and was so happy with the ethereal look of it. It was only slightly cascading with a couple of dreamy vines so still had a light feel to it
I’ve had a few enquires about these bouquets for next summer and hope to create some interesting designs.
In this one I carefully matched the focal flowers with delicate cosmos flowers in the same shades. I love how cosmos stand tall in a bouquet giving that extra depth

Back from my trip to Vietnam and I’m feeling refreshed and revived. It was such a wonderful trip and amazing place to explore and experience and flowers were very big there too!
I was very inspired by Vietnamese floriculture and I look forward to using this inspiration in my designs next season 🇻🇳🧡

One of my last dahlia bouquets that was made a few weeks ago before these hard frosts hit. I love how the colours become more intense and almost fluro as the temps started to drop. I enjoyed using these fluro orange ribbons at the start of May.

One of my Mother’s Day bouquets digitally recreated by my daughter 🥰

Some really fresh flowers that went out last week. I love how different dahlias feature at different stages throughout the season. The cosmos is in bud at the moment

18/04/2024

Busy harvesting still even though the days are getting shorter and colder. The flowers are still blooming here.
I am lucky to have the help of my sister this week. It’s made such a difference having an extra pair of hands and she even took some lovely photos of me harvesting

16/04/2024

Just 3 simple ingredients for this arrangement … COSMOS, AMARANTH & DAHLIAS
🍁

Something to brighten up your day. It’s very wet here in Southland. The days are numbered with our dahlias.
The good thing about growing is that there is always something to look forward to with the changing seasons. Having a garden helps you to appreciate seasonal changes and it is a great feeling having the next season to look forward to. At the moment I’m enjoying these dahlias while I still have them.

10/04/2024

I love this shade of apricot. It started off a deeper shade but I love how it’s fading during autumn

09/04/2024

Just a wee view of my flower field before I start the big harvest of strawflowers and amaranth. It’s going to be tedious with hundreds of flowers to cut and prepare! At least I have a dry day to start to make a dent in the work. As I have a small scale boutique flower farm it’s just me who does all work but I’m glad I’m doing something I love and am thankful I can do it 🧡

06/04/2024

Another little autumn arrangement. If you are interested in having florals to brighten up your business I do weekly arrangements as well as casual drop offs 🙌

MARIGOLDS… these are an amazing plant that are not only pretty as a cut flower but also have many medicinal uses. They are native to Mexico but also found in the countries of Central America and the Caribbean. In Mexico the marigold flower is called flor de mu***os, which translates as “the flower of the dead” and is used in The Day of the Dead Celebration every 2nd November.
The pigments of the marigold are due to carotenoids of which one of the main ones is lutein, which is associated with the prevention of age related eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts.
The even darker orange tones are associated with an even higher amount of carotenoids especially xanthophyll which has been found in some studies to aid in the prevention of coronary artery disease, heart attacks and cancer.
Marigolds are also used as a food dye and the dried petals are ground down and added to poultry feed to enhance the egg yolk colour.
Just some interesting facts I hope you enjoy ☺️

Enjoyed making this lovely bunch for a special delivery today. The colours in the dahlias are just beautiful at the moment giving so many design options. The complementary flowers are enhancing their beauty with the autumnal changes at present. A joy to work with

Had fun dreaming up this colour palette today. It’s 70s inspired as I’ve always been a big fan of this era and love clothes, homeware and of course 70s themed flowers! Think it’s because I was just born at the very end of this decade in 79 and have been influenced by the style growing up. I remember the brown and orange flowered wall paper in our lounge and the mustard chairs we had when I was young, Mum and Dad’s long collars ( which they still wore around the farm in the early 80’s) and of course the groovy music that I still love now 🧡
Tag someone in who loves the 70s too!

My favourite lemon dinner plate dahlia… Westerton Lilian. I’m looking forward to designing a bouquet with this soon. It’s a stunning day here in Southland and the blooms are looking lovely with lots of new growth

03/04/2024

Hope you all had a lovely Easter break. We had a really fun egg hunt here. Lots of easy spots for my little boy Hugo and some more difficult hiding places for the big girls!

31/03/2024

Love this pic taken by a friend Fiona Bluff It.. Before decorating her home with dahlias she carefully laid them out into colour blocks. Dahlias are the perfect way to brighten up your home and bring some nature in 🙌

This bunch is going out to the winner of the International Women’s Day competition run through myself and .libertyproject
We hope you enjoy them!!

I just did a live video on the physical benefits of gardening but I didn’t really elaborate into much detail other than it helps to build physical strength and increases muscle similar to going to the gym. I kind of got stage fright doing the live video so I thought I’d continue with this post.
Today I gardened for 8 hours and I’ve come inside and I can feel the workout I’ve given my body. I was constantly squatting as I was in lots of different areas weeding. Each time I moved I squatted again. I must have done hundreds of squats today without even noticing it. My quads and glutes are feeling like they’ve had a good work out and my abs have too by pulling weeds and twisting to throw them in piles on the lawn.
My biceps had a workout by forking and digging the soil and also by lifting heavy barrow loads of weeds. My garden is effectively my home gym and it works out every major muscle group in my body.
Also after a busy day gardening it really helps me have a deep sleep 💤

When I picked the flowers for this lovely bouquet yesterday it was the autumn colours that were looking best. Some beautiful new red dahlias have just started to flower this week including the pretty one with yellow tones in the middle. Also the gorgeous ‘Fire Mountain’ scarlet red dahlia gifted to me by is a standout in this gift bouquet. Thank you Alan.

15/03/2024

Love these… apricots, dusky raspberry pinks and white 🧡💗🤍

A beautiful dahlia bouquet with just dahlias that went out to a dahlia lover earlier this week. I love the statement dahlias make alone in a bouquet. This one required two strong arms of my little assistant. She always complains that they are so heavy. She’s a great little helper and I’m grateful for her help as it’s usually a one handed pic by me.

SOWING GARLIC Just little educational video to inspire you to do a little horticultural therapy. Sowing garlic is a great way to get something productive done outside in the middle of winter. Lots of bulb companies sell garlic bulbs. After sowing just remember to keep the garden weeded as the bulbs don’t do well with competition. I hope you find this video helpful. Let me know if you have any further questions

I’ve been getting organised for next years wedding and events season. Instead of going away this weekend for Easter I decided to spend some time tidying my home and studio so I can feel ready for everything ahead. Sometimes you just have to hit pause and rest, relax and tidy when you are in the creative industry. I find tidying makes me feel calm and restored. This collection of floristy vessels is made up of handed down vintage vases, modern vintage look vases made recently, local pottery from @bluffit.ceramics, vintage preserving jars and vintage flower frogs and ceramic bowls #tidyingup #vintagevases #flowervases #vasesofinstagram #wellnessreset

I loved picking these beautiful dahlias for Lucy @allbunchedup_ for her own wedding two weeks ago. She choose a beautiful colour palette with all the oranges yellows and bright pinks. A real Mediterranean/ Caribbean feel about these colours. As I grow a big selection of bright colours, Lucy’s wedding was an absolute dream to pick for. For the first time I was able to see what all these punchy colours looked like en masse. I think Lucy’s colour choice in dahlias was so vivacious and I can’t wait to see how she created for her wedding. If I was getting married in this era I would definitely go bright too 💛💗🧡 Colour always adds to the special memories created on the day and will forever be printed in your mind #weddingdahlias #queenstownweddingflowers #organicdahlias #dahliafarmer #flowerfarmernz

Colour is usually what I’m drawn to but the whites have grown on me this season #flowerfarmernz #white dahlias #southland #sustainableblooms #dahlias #floristnz

Loving the restorative effects these beauties have. After a busy day it’s beautiful just sitting back and taking them in. I’m looking forward to having some more flower therapy and garden tour workshops for those who would like the opportunity to relax and unwind after a busy day. Keep an eye on my stories as I will be releasing dates soon #dahlias #flowertherapy #therapeutic horticulture
