Planning a winter wedding on our beautiful peninsula? Instead of a wintery windswept beach think about a lush native rainforest and all the artistic possibilities it offers , not to mention some protection from the weather! Probably one of the best things about a winter wedding is that your flowers can be enjoyed for longer as they won't be wilting in the summer heat. Here are some of my top flower picks for your winter wedding: Proteas, Cymbidiums, Peris, Ranunculus, Anemones, Roses, Scabiosa, Delphiniums and Anthuriums.

Preserving Your Wedding Flowers
As a woman of a certain age I remember when it was common practice to press flowers.We placed them between sheets of blotting paper and the family set of encyclopedias was piled on top.These beauties were then pasted on to card for bookmarks, stuck into journals or glued to homemade greeting cards.
How times have changed. This humble craft has been turned into an artform by the likes of www.foreverfloralpress.com They preserve your wedding flowers by creating stunning framed artworks that can grace your walls and be a beautiful reminder of your special day.

Lovely Shara & Mike, are probably the most laid back couple I've dealt with in ages. Despite the dreadful weather causing a last minute venue change and the flower markets still being closed after Christmas, they took it all in their stride. The Whitianga gardeners harvested their white flowers I and I got to work.
