Blinging Red & White Wedding- Doltone House Pyrmont

Last weekend we pumped out two very different Weddings at the
Gorgeous Doltone house Pyrmont..

It was very exciting, and also very exhausting all at the same time,
always on a high when putting it all together and don't quite feel the
exhaustion until it's all over when we need to catch up on some beauty sleep! 
Our team lived on two hours of sleep each day leading up to the Weddings!
And would not have it any other way... The lack of sleep just comes with the
territory of dealing with fresh flowers I suppose!

Here are some of the images we took from the Doltone House decorations:
Doltone House Candelabra Floral arrangements with crystal drops

Crystal draped Candelabra
We used White Oriental Lilies, Red roses, Lime green foliage & orchids with
Crystal drops on each candelabra for a bit of extra bling..


And the bridal table was adorned with a stunning Long & low display and vases
of aligned red roses and red votive candles with Crystal scatters
& white butterflies - Brides' favorite!!

 The Wedding Ceremony took place at the Stunning St Mary's Parish at Concord -
we put together some simple but effective pew ends with white organza bows,
with white lily, red rose with white Singapore orchids on each alternate pew..

Rich red Wedding flowers..

We are very excited to share these pics of Vanessa & Brads' Wedding flowers with you
that we put together for their gorgeous Wedding last weekend!!


It was a little difficult to get these Calla lilies as they were not quite in season yet!!
So we had them imported from South Africa especially for Vanessa -
Yes we went to that extra mile but it was well worth the effort. the end look result
was by far the most gorgeous combination with red roses ever.. LOVED IT!!
And of course to make the Bride happy is soooo very rewarding..

We combined Velvet Red roses, Aubergine Calla lilies, hypericum berries & dodder vine
with a red satin stem wrapped with red pearls & decorative wiring..

Red roses, hypericum berries, calla lilies Dodder vine & Ivy..

The Ceremony & Reception were both held at the stunning Mandalay  Lane Cove
which we were also honored to have set up the chair covers & decorations.. 

It rained that morning but luckily the sun came out just in time for a gorgeous setting at the
Mandalay the theme was an Ivory/ soft champagne and black- which accented the flowers greatly!!
The chair covers included a champagne organza sash with a silk black rose & our gorgeous
chair cover beading was a huge hit!

We loved the little black tea cup favors.. very sweet!

Feathers, Pearls & bits of Bling.....

Last Weekend was by far the most anticipated Wedding of the 
lovely Deborah & Michael!   Been waiting for this one for a while now
and finally here you are..

Gotta love Spring Weddings!!!   They are always Vibrant & full of life 
- Well that's what we thought- right? well no- unfortunately the weather last 
week end was not the best- so hopefully the Indoor reception made up for that!

crystals with gorgeous floral combination of Roses, Runnunculus and Singapore orchids..
We loved these amazing centrepieces & matching chair cover decorations 
for Deb and Mikes' Wedding reception at the Stunning Sydney boutique hotel- 
The Amora Jamison.

The draped chair covers with contrasting Red and purple sashes

have created thus far!!

Year after year they have choked after making it to the top eight, but this year they are in
with a very good chance.. Good luck for next week Dragons!!!  For my hubby's sake
we would love you to win the title!!

Pink Runnunculus bouquet & buttonhole with a twist..

Thought it would be nice to add a little twist into the mix of these bouquets & buttonholes
Adds a little more character and emphasizes the colours of the flowers..
Gone are the days that buttonholes are plain old single blooms..
Pink Runnunculus bouquet with cymbidium orchids & Dodda vine

A little extra bling, wiring, feathers, crystals or vine can be added to create a
more personalised touch!!

Red, White and Pink roses Wedding Flowers

A very last minute booking we took care of  Ann's Wedding flowers
having booked only one week before the Wedding date, Ann's friend promised
to arrange her bouquets only to have extended her overseas travels and left Ann
literally last minute to arrange her flowers elsewhere...
I am always a little weary of anything that comes for free-
It may seem great at first but there are always not the best idea
especially when it comes to something as important as your Wedding day!!

Luckily for Ann- she came to the right place we happily looked after her..

We wish you all the very best for a
Long & Happy marriage!!  :)

A Parisian Affair.. Paris themed corporate function in Sydney

Paris themed party - candy bar buffet table

Over 15 years ago now, well before kids, marriage etc..
I managed to fit in a trip to Europe, although it was brief having done
an Insight tour - we only managed to see Paris for a few short days..
Actually every European city was quite rushed and hectic!!
Must get back there soon.. It's on the "To Do" list.. along with many other "To Do" things...

Ostrich white Feather centrepiece with red roses

































Pillars dressed with fairy lights and organza ribbon to theme event

Feather centrepiece and crystal candelabra centrepiece with roses & rose petals
I have always been inspired by Paris and the magic of this gorgeous City
so when this opportunity presented itself, I must admit I jumped at the chance!!

Well this is certainly something I have always wanted to do..
A Paris French  themed function - Yes, well if I can't be there in person
at least  I can try to create it.. right??
candy bar with fresh fruit strawberry creams

Fizzle sticks & homemade rum balls, bullets & toffee apples
We looked everywhere to source theme Eiffel towers - we wound them with
Fairy lights & pearls to create a very Eiffel look and ofcourse had to add the feathers,
crystal chandeliers- red beads spray vase and yummy candy..
Candy bar with fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, rum balls, fizzle sticks
Candy bar buffet /  sweets table - A Parisian affair

The Candy bar buffet table was the main focal point with the bar right along side,
I hope all the sweets get eaten otherwise......mmmm....

Purple is so IN right now..

I have lost count of the number of requests for Purple Bridal bouquets..

Helen- (Bride) was referred to me from a previous client and also
from good friends Sister..

Helen was after Peony's but unfortunately they were not quite in season yet..
We suggested for an early September Wedding the closest possible flower option
is Rannunculus - Yes I know not many people know what they are or have had
the pleasure of seeing them before!!
They come in many Stunning colours most commonly White &  Burgundy & Mauve are
the most amazing!!!

Here are some of the Rannunculus bouquets we put together with Freesia & Dusty miller
