An intimate wedding in December at Stewarts Bay Lodge on the Tasman Peninsula called for red and gold, and seasonal natives. "I just want something colourful and simple to hold", said the bride.
Banksia Coccinea were my inspiration for the "red". For the "gold", I used Dryandra Formosa. I teamed it with some Leucospermum Scarlet Ribbons, fully flowering with their rich red ribbons exposed, and Protea Compacta in pink with a rich red centre. I also used some rich orange Banksia Ericifolia.

Such beautiful photos by Tasmanian Photographer Rosie Hastie! I love the glow of the red Banksia against that gorgeous wedding dress!
Other flowers I used were Leucadendron Safari Sunset which are deep maroon in summer, before they start their growth phase. I also used some Leucadendron Jubilee Crown with their ruby cones. Some grevilea foliage, and gum foliage gave some texture. I also added some smoke bush foliage with some of the wispy feathery red flowers. Such vibrant warm summer colours!
For the groom, who was wearing a burgundy red and gold tie, I used myrtle and grevillea foliage, Leucadendron Safari Sunset, Leucadendron Jubilee Crown, and for the gold, the Dryandra Formosa.
Aisle decorations for the ceremony were hung and then brought inside for the reception.

Leucospermum Scarlet Ribbons, Kangaroo Paw in burnt orange, Leucadendrons Safari Sunset, Pisa and Jubilee Crown, and Agonis Flexuosa foliage, all combined to create a vibrant splash of colour for both outside and inside.

I think it was a great idea that worked really well to provide decoration for both the ceremony and reception whilst keeping costs down.
A simple arch framed the spot for the ceremony.

Perfect for a summer bush wedding.

The red and gold theme really added an intense splash of colour.

The cake topper used a Banksia Coccinea too, with some Leucadendron Safari Sunset and Dryandra again. I think it was a beautiful fresh look for a small, intimate wedding.
The bride's bouquet was paired with a little bouquet for the flower girl, using the same combination of flowers on a smaller scale.

I really enjoyed creating the flowers for this gorgeous wedding, so it was lovely to see some photos of the day. A good photographer just captures the details so brilliantly!

I love this shot of the bride and groom with Tasman Island in the background. The gorgeous blue of the sea and sky really make the flower colours sing!
