It’s possible I’ve been watching too much Harry Potter in the lead up to Christmas 🤓 (Accio Flowers!)
I love featuring out of the box textures and flowers in your buttonholes. My fave in this combo is the orange succulent flower and single agapanthus bloom with that perfect stripe down the center of each petal 🫶

Remember to do this before leaving for your ceremony…..
Because no body wants big wet patches on their outfit before walking down the isle! 💦🫣

The #1 most annoying thing about planning a wedding online?
When there are no prices listed on the website of the supplier you’ve just stalked. 🤑
I’m pulling back the curtain on what you can expect your dollar bills to cover when you work with us. Because the only drama I like is the one in your bouquet. *And because you’re busy and probs don’t want to waste time enquiring with a florist if you’re not a perfect match*

A trip to the Sydney markets for your wedding means I can:
❤️ keep an eye out for extra special pieces that I may not have been able to order in advance
❤️ fine tune your colour palette
❤️ source the best substitutes if they’re needed

What do we mean when we talk about mechanics?
Mechanics are the things that we put flowers into to keep them hydrated and in place.
There are a few main types:
1. Chicken wire
2. Water Vials
3. Pin frogs
The best thing about these types of mechanics is that they can be used again and again.
Which means we are creating as little waste as possible.

As florists we learn how to make flowers look like magic.
We are trained to hide our mechanics, work efficiently, and make our final design look as effortless as possible. At your wedding we have cleaned all the mess, cleared the empty buckets and removed our selves (and our sweaty faces) before your guests arrive.
Nothing spoils the magic faster than watching how a design is constructed after all!
The expertise, knowledge and time required to put together and source the right combination of flowers, for the right colour palette, to create the right vibe, at the right place, on the right day at the right time and have it look so good it makes you squeal with delight, is where the real magic happens.
I hate that magicians never reveal their secrets. They make their tricks look so effortless, and yet I know there is so much going on that I just can't see.
The labor component of your quote ensures we can continue to spend the quality time required to make it look like your flowers just miraculously appeared out of thin air looking plump and perfect (and to hire assistants in sparkly leotards when we need extra hands)

It's not unusual to have clients share a Pinterest board with me featuring images of wedding florals with many different colours and styles.
It makes total sense. Pinterest is an endless stream of inspiration and ideas. While options are good, too many can feel endless, and making a decision can feel impossible.
When you first start pinning, everything looks pretty! However, it can be very helpful to go through your board and look for some cohesiveness in your pins. What looks similar, which colours do you keep coming back to? As you begin to delete and declutter you'll begin to narrow it down to an overall idea or theme.
You can share your Pinterest board with me If you're struggling to narrow it down. I can help you identify some of the common themes that keep popping up on your boards, and we can work together to create a look you'll love.
