Lauren and Matt

Lauren and Matt’s wedding day in the Palms was full of joy! Their vibrant and colourful palette counteracted the fact that the heavens literally opened and dropped an ocean of water on their venue, creating a sense of warmth, fun and celebration. Locally sourced flowers of the brightest hue available were combined with crisp white cosmo and soft fragrant garden roses for bold contrast. The moody party vibes were high as they danced the rainy night away surrounded by colourful candlelight. Special thanks to Dea from Little Black Bow Photography for always delivering true-to-life colour after the edit, the colour nerd in me appreciates you!

Romantic, garden-inspired wedding flowers with layered seasonal blooms by Flora Adora Studio on the Mid North Coast NSW, styled for an elegant, editorial celebration.

merinda and ben

Melbournians, Merinda and Ben chose to wed in Pacific Palms NSW. Merinda grew up in the sleepy and relaxed coastal paradise and thought it was perfect location to seal the deal with her urban beau. Their wedding was elegant yet restrained and suited the Palms vibe perfectly. The buttery yellow, dusty blue and soft ivory palette for the ceremony were injected with zesty lemon yellow and shades of chartreuse to get the party started at Palms Pavilion. Australian designer, Prea James, is the genius behind Merinda’s watery gown which transformed with every movement and caught the dappled light that filtered through the palms. Our selection of locally grown flowers including fragrant garden roses, tall delphinium and delicate hydrangea paniculata reflected Ben and Merinda’s appreciation for the finer things in life.

georgia and jaydon

Georgia and Jaydon were married surrounded by family, friends and flowers at historic Wallalong House in the Hunter Valley. We loved creating an abundant ceremony feature using our custom timber plinths and white urns that were filled to the brim and overflowing with locally grown, seasonally available flowers. After the ceremony and photos, we worked like ninjas and moved the lush floral feature, repurposing it for their reception. The abundant arrangements elegantly welcomed guests into the luxury Indian Tent.

Allanah and clancy

Located on Mamboo Island NSW, Allanah and Clancy tied-the-knot at their property, Clunes Lane Cottage. Their renovation skills and incredible eye for design have not only created a magical property for their guests to enjoy, but also translated into a heartfelt, meaningful and beautiful wedding. Allanah requested an oversized bouquet with trailing silk ribbons, which featured toffee roses. Clunes Lane Cottage is an ode to the simple life and farming in the Manning, and is the perfect location to reflect and unwind, host a relax wedding or celebration.

rachal and aaron

The day was full of warmth, good food, good company, whole lot of love… Oh, and a freak cyclonic weather event. Together with a team of champion wedding vendors, we hustled to pull off a memorably romantic wedding ceremony, where love shone in place of the sun. Guests and the newly weds danced the night away in the party barn, after feasting at long candlelit tables and sucking ring pops, of course!
