October is Waratah month here at Swallows Nest Farm. They're at their very best, and all the colours are clean and fresh. So when my bride asked for "colourful please" I was so happy! The focal flowers for this bride's bouquet are NSW Waratah, Telopea Speciosissima. They're such an outstanding flower in rich red.
To add to the waratah, I used a Banksia Coccinea, a rich red banksia that flowers throughout spring. Next to the Coccinea, there's lime green Berzelia and bright yellow Paper Daisies.
Among the other larger flowers there are some Satin Mink Nerifolia Proteas and a Protea Pink Cream. I used lots of different leucadendrons in this bouquet. There are so many looking spectacular in spring!
More colour from the hot pink Boronia, which also adds an amazing fragrance, and the Rose Cone Flower or Isopogon Formosus, which is a small purple spiky looking native flower that is just gorgeous. I also added some soft feathery Phylica which have a gorgeous texture and glowing chartreuse colour.
For the groom, more colour! Bright yellow everlasting daisy, Berzelia and Phylica. Then purple Misty and some more hot pink Boronia, all backed by some glossy green Tasmanian Myrtle Beech.
The colour really popped on that blue suit.
