Kate and Tim's White Noosa Wedding, January 2012

In January this year, I travelled up to Noosa with a car chocabloc full of flowers, to do the flowers for Kate and Tim's amazing wedding, the biggest job I've done to date!

It was simply stunning, it's as simple as that! All white, even all the bridal party wore white! With just a very subtle touch of pink in the david austin roses that were used in the bouquets!

My Mum and Aunty Trish, both born with a knack for flowers that I could only wish for, helped me put together beautiful clusters of vases in the Church, little posies of bouvardia on the pews, together with big bouquets of david austin roses and pom poms for the girls, and rows of white flowers along each table at the reception.

Kate came up with all the concepts we put, which worked terrifically to create a stunning beach wedding!

Enjoy the beautiful photos xx

Lucy and Jonno - Balmain March 2012

Lucy and Jonno McEvoy got married at Ballast Point Park, and had their reception at Cafe Morso in Pyrmont!

They were blessed with a beautiful day, matching their beautiful wedding! Simple bouquets and buttonholes with roses, freesias and bouvardia had fresh herbs - sage symbolising good health and long life, and thyme symbolising activity!

The reception had pretty vases with mainly white flowers and a touch of pink! I was so impressed with Cafe Morso too - great staff and such a relaxed and easy going feel - I could tell it was going to be a very fun night!

Floreat Flower of the Month - April!

Welcome to April everyone! How can we go past hyacinth this month? Coming into the markets in the last couple of weeks - it's one of my favourites!

Hyacinths, like tulips and daffodils, grow from a bulb, and come in lots of beautiful colours like red, blue, white, orange, pink, violet,and yellow. Each colour has a meaning - blue means constancy, purple means please forgive me, and white means beauty.

And here's a story for you!

"Hyacinth was a beautiful youth loved by both the god Apollo and the West Wind, Zephyr. Apollo and Hyacinth took turns at throwing the discus. Hyacinth ran to catch it to impress Apollo, but he was struck by the discus as it fell to the ground, and died. A twist in the tale makes the wind god Zephyrus responsible for the death of Hyacinth.

The youth's beauty caused a feud between Zephyrus and Apollo. Jealous that Hyacinth preferred the radiant archery god Apollo, Zephyrus blew Apollo's discus off course, so as to injure and kill Hyacinth. Apollo did not allow Hades to claim Hyacinth. Instead, Apollo made a flower, the hyacinth, from Hyacinth's spilled blood."

But, who of course can forget the most famous Hyacinth of them all!

Happy Easter Everyone from Hyacinth!! xx
