It's such a thrill to be part of someones special wedding day - I love doing flowers for weddings! Erica's wedding was in November and in Tasmania that can be a tricky time for weather. It was obviously not the case on that particular day! What a wonderful spot for a wedding.
I "met" Erica internet style. She was a customer in my trees4thewood online store and discovered my flower farming activities online. Having worked on the Overland Track, a world famous bush walking track through spectacular Tasmanian wilderness, she was keen to use Tasmanian Waratahs for the main flower in her wedding bouquet. These gorgeous flowers grow wild in areas along the track and you can't miss them when they are in flower.
I was excited to be asked to provide her flowers and had a ball creating something to show off the Tasmanian Waratah. As you can see, the colours she chose for the wedding are really styled around the waratah. Ivory, grey and red are a classic combination.
What a fabulous day for a beach wedding! The colour of that sea is just spectacular. And I think it really makes that gorgeous red just glow. The brides and bridesmaid's bouquets use Tasmanian Waratah, Safari Sunset Leucadendron, Berzelia (Button Bush), Agonis Flexuosa foliage and Eucalyptus foliage. We decided to remove the waratah's leaves so as not to have too much green in the bouquet. At that time of year, red and green can look a little christmassy.
Mini bouquet for a 3 year old flower girl! Cute!! And what a handsome little guy too.
The grooms boutonniere or button hole - Berzelia (Button Bush), Waratah, Leucadendron and Agonis Flexuosa foliage.
Thanks so much for letting me be part of your day, Erica! It looks like it was a very memorable and happy one.
