Mid November I did a wedding with a gorgeous colour scheme. The bride sent me a little colour board that showed the colour and feel she planned for the day. The suits were blue (a current personal favourite!), as were the bridesmaids, and the flower girls were in shades of blush.
My Protea White Ice were just beginning to flower well for the first season and they gave me the inspiration for the flower combination that would suit the theme.
White Ice are a white protea with a soft blush colour in the central flower mass.
Other spring flowers that I teamed up with them were Protea Compacta in a rich pink with a central mass of bronzy red.
The Scarlet Ribbon Pincushions were early and are a lovely soft colour when they just begin to flower. They added to the colour combination.

The brides bouquet also had a white waratah - Shady Lady White. My plants are still very young and flowering sporadically to it was great to have a couple to sprinkle through. Other flowers that I added were the soft golden Dryandra Formosa. I just love these for weddings! You can also see some Berzelia. Another secondary flower that I think worked really well in this wedding was the Leucadendron Discolour which was in its creamy white phase, with a dusting of pink blush.
An experimental planting of Serruria Blushing Bride provided a few blooms to add to the mix. I used one here for the grooms boutonniere. Some fluffy white flowering gum makes an appearance too. Dryandra are great for boutonnieres, and just imagine these on a blue suit - great colour combination!
The foliage that I used throughout was a Tasmanian eucalyptus called Cordata. It has lovely blue green juvenile leaves with a rounded shape.
I really enjoyed the colour combinations in this wedding!
