Late Summer Wedding at Avalon Coastal Retreat


In late February, I provided flowers for a wedding at Avalon Coastal Retreat at Swansea on Tasmania's east coast.  Its a stunning  location with views of some of Tassie's most picturesque coastline.  The bride loved flowering gum and wattle, and February delivered on both counts.  


I created a bouquet for the bride using three different shades of Corymbia Ficifolia, a popular flowering gum that blooms in late summer here in Tasmania.  A rich, hot pink, candy pink and baby pink formed the bulk of the bouquet.  Acacia Retinodes is a wattle native to the southern states of Australia that flowers periodically throughout the year.  Some long arching branches from a local tree provided the wattle blooms.  Acacia Retinodes keeps its form quite well when picked, unlike some species of wattle which last only a short time.  I also love the foliage of the Acacia Retinodes, which falls happily.


The pastel tones of the bouquet included a Protea Pink Cream, an orange Pincushion Cordifolium, and a touch of blue with a Nigella flower from the garden.  The olive-green berries are a pittosporum berry. I also used Leucadendron Pisa which at the end of summer has large silvery white cones surrounded by yellow and lime green bracts.  


Other bouquet ingredients include Brunia Albiflora, Leucadendron Silver Tree, Bronze Fennel flowers, Eucalyptus Cordata foliage, and Irish Juniper foliage.


For the groom's boutonniere, I used Corymbia Ficifolia in hot pink, with a large Corymbia leaf at the back.  A sprig of eucalyptus, some Acacia Retinodes, Leucadendron Pisa and a Nigella bud where the other flowers used.  


The bride wanted a floral crown to match her bouquet.  Local coastal tea-tree foliage dotted with Brunia balls made the circlet.  


Flowering gum, wattle, L. Pisa cones, eucalyptus and Nigella were added as a focal point.


The design of the other boutonnieres was a simpler version of the groom's, showcasing the just the wattle.  


I loved using the Acacia Retinodes.  


The bride ordered wholesale flowers for some DIY fun, to make up the bridesmaid's bouquets.  What she saved on costs, she used to order wrist corsages.


They were a lot of fun to make, using tea tree foliage, eucalyptus, different shades of flowering gum with a Leucadendron Pisa cone.  I also popped in some sprigs of wattle, and some of the olive green pittosporum berries.  


I think they were a great alternative to the traditional pin-on corsage.  This was a great wedding to be involved in.  I really loved the colours the I got to play with and was really happy with the results, particularly the brides bouquet.  

Five Wedding Cake trends to fall in love with!!


Everyone loves cake – but with so many options to choose from, the prospect of having to find the perfect wedding cake can be daunting. The right wedding cake should fill a couple of requirements: it should be memorable, it should be fitting to you and your new beau, and of course, it should be completely delicious.

Inspiration, as always, can be found in the current wedding cake trends – this year’s trends are diverse, ranging from bold to stripped down, with designs of the most elaborate to the clean and simple. Here are a few wedding cake ideas we can’t get enough of.


Metallic Cakes-
Why restrict the wedding-day sparkle to the rings? Everything’s better with a bit of shine. Make this cake your own by fine-tuning details such as the intensity of the metallic shade and what amount of the cake will get the golden treatment. Whether it’s just a few touches of embellished gold here and there or entire layers of shimmering shades, this versatile trend is sure to turn heads. Instant glamour? Check.

Personalised Cakes-
Having something truly unique about your wedding cake is the best way to make an impression. By adding a personal touch, you give your guests a small peek into the personal life of you and your new hubby. In the hands of a professional, for example, this could take the form of your love story told in words or a series of images on your cake. On the other hand, a DIY approach can be just as effective. The key is in getting creative with your wedding cake toppers – consider hand-making a simple monogram or ordering customised wedding figurines online to pop into the finished cake.

Ruffled Cakes-
If the keyword for your ideal cake is “elegant”, ruffles are a must-have. For a traditional look they can be layered in neat rows encircling the cake, or they can take a more modern, slightly less uniform shape in paper-thin layers reminiscent of flower petals. The ruffled icing look can also be used to create shapes or ornaments to be used as decoration atop the cake.

Naked Cakes-
Not quite as rude as you might think, the naked cake is simply a layer cake with its sides exposed. This stripped-down cake’s surprising absence of icing shows off the cake’s layers and texture. This cake would be the perfect fit for a wedding out in the country or with a rustic theme, especially with the addition of other natural elements such as fruit or roses. Spring wedding, anyone?

Lacy Cakes-
Lace is such a gorgeous fabric – to limit it to dresses and lingerie seems such a waste. Primp up your cake with intricate lace patterns done in white for an understated but feminine look. For a bolder take on this trend, fill your entire cake with various lace patterns of different sizes, or go for lace-shaped frosting cut-outs. Intricate and pretty.
Wedding Dresses Choosing Tips for Busty Body Brides

Wedding Dresses Choosing Tips for Busty Body Brides

Many women admire busty body figures, however, they need to select carefully for right and also cheap wedding dresses. If you're a busty bride, you've got two choices: reveal or conceal. Either way, finding the right gown starts with pinpointing the perfect neckline.

A square neckline looks great on almost anyone, but it's especially great for the well-endowed because its not too revealing.

Strapless gowns can be tough for brides with a larger bust, but the straight-across version actually minimizes your assets.

If you're set on a sweetheart neckline, try one with straps and a full skirt to balance your busty frame.

Another sweetheart idea we love? This "modesty" lace detail that keeps your cleavage in check. More strapless wedding dresses here.

This structured off-the-shoulder neckline offers a subtle curve that minimizes a large bust.

Plunging V-necklines are typically too risque for big-busted girls, but this more subtle dip gets it right.

Generally slinky material is a no-no for larger busts, but the draped cowl neckline makes this 20s-style gown more of a go-to.

A subtle dip won't hide your curves completely, but it will soften your sex appeal.

Illusion "skin-baring" details are a big-busted girls bestie. Sheer scoop/sweetheart neckline is every bit ethereal.

Wedding Dresses Choosing Tips for Plus-sized Body Brides

 Some wedding dresses for plus-sized are perfect. You need to know sth about the dresses.

Whether you want to create the illusion of a smaller frame or celebrate your curves, we've got you covered (or uncovered).

You may like: plus size wedding dresses , strapless wedding dresses

Asymmetrical pleating and neckline-to-knee embellishments make this curve-hugging gown more slimming.

An empire waistline creates a lengthening effect while these fluttery chiffon sleeves act as the most ethereal cover up.
 
A lace illusion neckline is equal parts daring and demure, and it’s an especially slimming look when paired with a cummerbund-style waistline.

Minimize your waistline with design details that draw the eye inward (think bodycon seams, but with crystals).


A high neckline, sheath silhouette and slight train are the ultimate trio to help you look long and lean.

A dark colored sash is a simple way to make your middle look trim.

Intricate silver embroidery adds infinite allure but not a bit of bulk to a simple silhouette.

A scoop neckline shows off your voluptuous shape and lets you avoid a strapless bra!

A basque waistline enhances an hourglass figure. This modern, less severe interpretation gets it right.
 
Strategic draping on an unembellished gown can add drama and define curves.
