I am very much inspired by Romance and in my heart rest the words “Flowers will be my Autobiography”. Why?

Your wedding day is probably the one day that has dominated your dreams since you were little and Wedding flowers are one of the most important elements of your big day. Not only do they provide colour and scent, but they symbolize life, growth, and rebirth. Behind the dresses, wedding flowers are also a conversation starter and create a definite atmosphere. In creating your wedding flowers—I see

k to enhance the natural beauty of the flowers themselves; designing the total impression rather than focusing on the flowers alone. This attention makes for a day in which the flowers compliment you and your dress and creates a wedding and reception environment which is harmonious and unique to your personality; one which you and your guests will not only talk about, but remember forever. I like to encourage couples to think of their wedding as the “largest dinner party they've ever thrown”. Because your wedding should fit in with the rest of your tastes and your lifestyle – it should be no exception. You want to treat your guests as if you’re welcoming them into your own home. Your wedding should look and feel like it’s yours and nobody else’s. Everything from the invitations to the ceremony and the space itself should be infused with personalized details that create an event unique to you. In addition to our flowers décor and styling services we can also cater for all your wedding planning and coordination needs: Planning your wedding is one of the most exciting and worrying experiences of your life.That is why hiring a a coordinator is an invaluable step in the planning process.

Be sure that no details will be left out and the planning will be both stress-free and fun! We work with the most creative and professional vendors in South Africa to make sure your wedding day / event is unblemished. Service is our top precedence and every detail is attended to. What's in a name? ..... [pa-ra-me-thee] "From Greek Origin that carries the connotation of a Fairy tale"

Im so deligted to share a preview of the magical summer garden wedding for Isabelle & James!

Their whimsical and romantic celebration, was like transporting guests (23 to be exact) to a hidden oasis.

Imagine exchanging vows amongst lush greenery gardens, surrounded by warm pastel florals. The air so sweet (and the wind being a bit cheeky at times) with the scent of blooming florals and fresh earth set in the magnificent Johannesdal gardens!

As the sun set, the garden courtyard came alive with twinkling lights, and the celebration unfolded like a dreamy, fairytale romance. Revealing the most perfect reception setting with soft sunlight filtering through fairylight trellises and arbors, while delicate candles and fairylight curtains casted a warm, ethereal glow as night fell.

Every detail, from the floral, to the gold rimmed glassware, stationery and bows, were carefully curated to evoke the enchantment of a forgotten secret garden, rediscovered just for this magical day.

✨We adore you and miss you Princess Kate and James - Over and Across deep waters, all the way back in the U.K! So much Love 🫶🏻💕

A Summer Reverie! 🫶🏻💕🌸🎀

A table setting Infused with beauty overflowing with megawatt floral details and all the soft, frilly textures you could ever want!

Classic pink and apricot floral hues with sorbet-coloured lisianthus imparts all the romance and sunny warmth of the season. We love how the moccha and slight tinge of rasberry colours lean toward the more seductive and warm rather than bright and overly cheerful.

🎀Plus, the soft pink bows (it’s bow season after-all) on the napkins not only looks darling, but is also a great way to add texture, colour, movement, and a subtle nod to the wedding theme or style.

This warm pastel sorbet-coloured palette just reminds us of decadent, frozen deserts on the riviera in summer. Sigh. 🫶🏻🌸

A Gorgeous African Sunset Rehearsal Dinner for our amazing couple Rachel and Richard all the way from Guernsey in the U.K!🧡💛🤎

Whatever the season, a sunset in Africa is always something special: in winter the smoke in the air and the clear skies gives one that huge fireball of sun and surrounding red glow, and in summer the late afternoon post windy sky is filled with a melange of colours and textures.

With a slight “cheeky” summer breeze, nestled under the beautiful Oak Trees of Boschendals Rhone Homestead.

A long intimate table with pincushions, local fynbos and dried floral elements paired with a rust colour napkin, woven baseplate and warm earthy candles set the perfect tone for this African Sunset pre wedding celebration 🫶🏻

I love epic stories and fairytales. (Hence me choosing my business name Paramithi meaning “like a fairytale”!) 🧚🏻✨🫶🏻💕
Maybe it’s because I grew up on a serious amount of Disney or the love explored onscreen in movies like Casablanca, The Notebook and Pride & Prejudice in all its glorious nuances.

One of my favourite themes in Fairytales is True Love and these stories sweep my heart up in something BIG and always ring true when I look at my couples.

This is the flower-tale and Love story of Loyiso and Tyler. Enrobed in A melody of soft neutral and pastel colours screaming romance right off the bat.

Symbolically, the circle has been used to represent totality, perfection, and eternity so it’s only fitting that a circular floral arch was used as an unforgettable backdrop as they exchanged vows and became bonded for eternity. 🫶🏻💕

Protea and pink elements was a major part of the flower and colour elements for Anel & Steyn’s wedding, so naturally they made an appearance in the bridal bouquet and table designs too.

King proteas, garden roses, vintage carnations, hydrangea and hints of pampass set the tone for this Summer wedding's pastel palette - Held on the beautiful grounds of Belair.

Contrasting shapes and textures create a beautifully romantic look and I adore how how light and bubblegum pinks play alongside the soft peach hues. 🫶🏻💕

The Cost of Wedding Flowers 🌸

When you book a wedding florist, you're not just paying for the raw product (which, we should add, cost money to grow from a seed to a bloom, harvest, transport and sell).

You're also paying for stuff like this:

Pre-dawn wake-ups almost every day to hit the flower markets and long working hours

Relationships built with growers

Cool rooms to keep the flowers and foliage looking fresh

Flower husbandry and babysitting (pruning, hydrating, petal prep etc.)

Actual flower arranging (a LOT of time. More than you'd imagine)

Appropriate transport for flower safety (often with multiple vehicles).

Delivery time and travel (often multiple drops for bouquets, buttonholes, venue)

Floral installations (these are very labour intensive and require alot of flower / foliage product )

Staff, Skilled freelance Florists, premises and general running-of-a- business costs

Time spent liaising with couples and perfecting a vision for their wedding

YEARS of time spent mastering a craft - the actual artistry

A llittle bit of actual margin (trust us, florists, aren't rolling around in Teslas. They do this job because they LOVE it)

Once you have context of what goes on behind the scenes, it makes a lot more sense, right?

We hope you found this insightful.

Timeless Romance🤍

All-white wedding themes full of texture and detail are far from super traditional, but rather the epitome of beauty and elegance.
Layering shades of white with subtle shades of green, and having muted metallics always make for the most sophisticated tablescape!

We live for Poetic, artistic floral combinations of sizes, textures and shapes for a bespoke wedding style as created within these wedding tablescapes.

Intricate layers, always a treat to the eyes. ✨

Although our signature look is always evolving, we would describe it as less-designed, filled with natural movement and plenty of romance!

We enjoy beautiful soft (frilly faced flowers), unusual finds, and soft trailing greenery. Our arrangement style is filled with depth, movement, many layers and space.

Psst! Nothing stiff and boring here🫶🏻🌸

Because nothing says “wow factor” like clouds of dancing florals above your guest tables 🤍🌿

One of the most special parts of our job is to create floral installations and overhanging structures featuring lush flowers and trailing foliage to showcase your wedding day. We’re obsessed with this wedding trend because it allows you to bring the outdoors inside.

These gorgeous 2 x 12m installations as created for .legrange and Lukas was designed and styled with so much romance!

The soft trailing green canvas layered with spilling white floral making my heart burst, very much like that same feeling when you feel stars exploding inside of you from falling in love!

When the Bridal bouquet is dancerly and lyrical, elegant with an edge, rich and romantic. 🫶🏻💕🌸

Florist tip:

At times bouquets can feel awkward to hold when you've never held one before. When holding your bouquet in front of you it is important to place your hands slightly below your navel. This will allow for a natural looking posture and will ensure that the bouquet is not being held too high.

Hold your hands naturally in front of you so that they feel comfortable and relaxed.

Make sure your elbows are slightly bent so you don't look “stiff”. Once your bouquet is in place tilt it slightly forward so more flowers are showing.

Another common mistake that brides make on their wedding day is holding their bridal bouquet in the wrong direction, mistaking the front and back of the bouquet.

At Paramithi we always place a pearl pin at the back of the bouquet so that our brides know exactly which side of the bouquet they need to display. Brides can place their thumb on top of the pearl and be assured that they are holding their lovely arrangement the correct way.

P.s I am a big fan of repurposing florals from the ceremony to the reception space. These florals can be placed at the bar area, or behind the bridal table for that extra Wow factor!

This ensures all flowers are used to maximum effect, helps save money, is more sustainable and eco-friendly! 🫶🏻🤍

Serving a hefty dose of pretty 🌸

I always say: the Bridal bouquet is arguably the second most important part of a bridal outfit! Ranking second behind the wedding dress of course!

In creating your wedding flowers: I seek to highlight the natural beauty of the flowers themselves; designing the overall impression rather than focusing on the flowers alone. This careful consideration and approach makes for a day in which the flowers compliment you and your dress and creates a wedding and reception setting which is in sync with your style and personality; one which you and your guests will not only talk about, but reminisce about for a lifetime.

The most exquisite bridal bouquet for Cayla: brimming with garden roses, lisianthus, ranunculus, carnations, ferns and spilling orchids in the most perfect palette of ivory, and neutral blush.

This airy, dreamy creation had my heart doing triple somersaults, a backflip and a split 🫶🏻💕

It’s giving Summer 🍬💕💐🦩

In the Spotlight: Poppies!

These playful flowers have stolen and locked my heart (with the key thrown away never to be found again). 🗝️🌸

Here is why:

🌸Unlike other flowers, poppies develop from a pod, rather than a bud. This means that as it begins to bloom, the pod bursts open revealing its petals all at once.

🌸 They open so beautifully and fully, but have a papery texture that almost makes them a 3-dimensional watercolor painting.

🌸 Poppies are available in a variety of colors, from blood red to violet to light yellow or peach, with some variegated varieties that appear as if they’ve been hand-painted.

🌸 The large face of a poppy is one of its wow factors. They are kind of a diva, so they make a statement almost anywhere they are placed in an arrangement or bouquet.

Type 🫶🏻🌸if you Love Poppies too!!
