February Wedding at Sisters Beach

Late February, I had the pleasure of arranging some flowers for a wedding at Sisters Beach in the north of Tasmania.  The brief was for pink, maroons and reds with plenty of foliage.

 The first harvest of the rich red Banksia Occidentalis provided the red.  Maroon Tall Red leucadendrons are fine and featherey and provided some deep maroon, along with the first of the new seasons Safari Sunset Leucos.  

For the pink, there were the large pink Compacta Proteas along with Pink Ice.  I also used some of the first beautiful White Mink protea of the season.  

I used some silvery Brunia Albiflora which is always looking fabulous in February.  You can just see, peeping through on the left, a rusty brown leucadendron cone which I love to use to add warmth and texture.

Its always so exciting for me to see photos of how everything goes together on the day, and these photos by Astrid Simone Photography were so beautiful!  

For the bridesmaids, the bouquets were smaller, but with mostly the same ingredients. They included some Protea Pink Ice, and some budded flowering gum.

For foliage, I used Risdon Peppermint, a gorgeous blue-grey eucalyptus foliage, softly falling cyprus, some leucospermum foliage, and the gorgeous Silver Tree Leucadendron foliage.  

For the bride, I made a floral comb with a red Banksia Occidentalia, budded flowering gum, cyprus, eucalyptus, and a tiny bit of wax flower.

The hair comb worked so well with the brides amazing hair styling!

Lots of little boutonnieres for the men, using Safari Sunet Leucos, feathery Tall Red leucs, flowering gum buds, cyprus and eucalyptus. 

For the groom, I added a leucadedron cone.

I really love seeing everything all come together on the big day! I make the bouquets and boutonnieres and see them side-by-side, but its really special to see them being used as they're designed to be.
