charity dinner

Babouche the dedicated flower cat supervised the creation of tall vase arrangements that were going off to the Sofitel for a big charity dinner. Babouche made sure that all the cuttings of foliage and leaves were put straight into the green waste bin. He's a real nature lover (loves to kiss a bird or two).
Thankyou Bouquets went to Trish Corelli and Sarah Pozzebon at Tricore Matrix for organising the event and to the Australian Childhood Foundation for all their wonderful work.

Hawthorn berry is in season! Lichen covered sticks, purple kale, purple glads, purple purples for winter splendour.

featured wedding

The beautiful Bec and Veeran had a fusion Indian-Australian wedding at a winery in Red Hill, Victoria. Parts of the ceremony were traditional Indian Hindu wedding rites combined with the western exchange of custom vows.

I opted for strong, bold and bright Indian festival colours for the bride and bridesmaid. We ribboned the bouquets using left over fabric from the bridesmaid's sari, and extra fabric for the bride from her gorgeous Lisa Ho wedding gown.

And we found Japanese maple leaves to edge the bride's bouquet!

The bridesmaid's bouquet was brighter and pinker than the bride's rich palette.

Mr Lincoln roses, dark pink peony's, hot pink water lilies, purple calla's, pink peppercorn, spray roses...aaahhh, the list goes on! This has to be one of my favourite bouquets of all time. Delicious.

we're a little bit famous!

Wow! A friend of mine was scouring the world of wedding blogs and came across a wedding I had done for a lovely young couple who were eloping. She found these images on a gorgeous American blog called oncewed.com and it kinda went viral across a few blogs in the US!!

Sophie's bouquet was a simple mixture of white and mauve sweet pea, queen faviola, freesias and loosely tied with dotter vine.

Sophie simply wanted a hair circlet, so I fashioned it out of wires, dotter vine, queen faviola, mauve sweet pea and pieces of lavender. She is the ultimate pixie don't you think?




What a totally beautiful and natural bride! This pair are SO in love. Sophie and Adam eloped in the Yarra Valley, Victoria. Each had only their best friend with them on the day as a witness. The photo's tell the story... (pics by wrinkle In Time photoraphy).
