Australia Day long weekend was the date for a beautiful wedding at Quamby Estate. Natives and proteas were the theme. With the bride being Australian and the groom being from South Africa, it was meant to be!

The beautiful rooms create an memorable atmosphere in which to prepare for the ceremony.
The photographer's photos capture the moody interior light so beautifully.

The South African flowers used were Protea Pink Ice, Protea Repens, Leucospermum Fountain - an orange Pincushion, and Brunia Albiflora. The leucadendrons used were L. Argentium, the Silver Tree, Safari Sunset and Jubilee Crown.
The Australian flowers used were Banksia Speciosa, Banksia Praemorsa, Banksia Marginata and of course, Wattle, our national floral emblem. The Banksia Speciosa has wonderful long zig-zag leaves that I love to use in bouquets.
Other ingredients were Leucadendron Jubilee Crown cones, Echinops or Globe Thistles, and each bouquet had a Silver Tree cone as well as the beautiful silken foliage. Foliages used were Risdon Peppermint, and Agonis Flexuosa in flower.

The bridesmaid's bouquets were smaller, without the larger Banksia flowers.
For the groom, a Globe Thistle, Wattle, Agonis flowers and a L. Jubilee Crown cone. I also used some of those gorgeous zig zag Banksia Speciosa leaves.

I love that pocket kerchief!
The grooms attendants had the same ingredients for their boutonnieres, without the Globe Thistle.

For the reception, there were fishbowl vases bursting with proteas and natives.

I think that smile says it all - it looks like a wonderful day full of the best memories. And, as always, it was such a privilege to be involved in the celebration.
