Real Wedding - Jacqui and Andrew's Country Wedding

Jacqui and Andrew wed only a month ago at Topiaries of Beaumont on the ranges at Samford.  Its a gorgeous old world feel building and we love having more country romance style fun with our settings and blooms for our events on this gracious property.

The colours throughout the wedding were soft and romantic with pinks, peaches, whites, creams, greys and fresh greens, with a blue gingham feature for the boys ties and ribbon detailing to buttonholes and ceremony jars.  The table settings used our new but 'old' recycled wooden boxes which can hold either the medium or large sized table arrangement. 

A huge big thank-you to Jacqui and Andrew for being darlings to work with and for sending through these gorgeous images.

Best wishes from the Green and Bloom team,  Roberta x

"Hi Roberta,

Kay and Arthur Real Wedding as featured on Style Me Pretty

There are so many gorgeous images on my computer that I have not had a chance to blog from last year, so I'm going to be stricked with myself and try and share at least one each week,  lets see how I go.

Darling Kay was a joy to work with, and along with her partner in crime Arthur, they were a pretty funky couple who wed back in September of last year at the Old Church Mt Tamborine.  Their stunning bridesmaid Emily was also a past Green and Bloom client who we styled her wedding for back in 2011 and recommended Kay to us for her wedding (here is a link to their wedding feature).  Its always so lovely when our past clients are also at the wedding or in the bridal party!

Kay and Arthur's gorgeous wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty, a collaboration of work between some fabulous suppliers including Scout and Charm, Cake Star, Jess Jackson Photography, Paul Voge, and Vivianne Tran.

We created woodsy organic styled flowers for the bouquets, buttonholes, ceremony and reception, in their wedding colours of blues, reds, whites and greens, and were excited to be able to use our own garden grown cornflowers and anemones within the arrangements as well.  Table settings were mixed between our crystal footed bowls with oversized arrangements over flowing, to moss and floral specimen arrangements on wooden rounds and under cloches, as well as vintage bottles and decanters.  A perfect fit for the venue and location - a big high five to Scout and Charm on their gorgeous styling.

And a few words from the bride herself - thank-you Kay xxx

"Hi Roberta - I need to properly sit down and write you a big thankyou for yesterday - the flowers were beyond perfect. I still can't get over how incredible all our flowers were - I wish everyday of my life was filled with such magnificent blooms. Kay "

Great Expectations Inspiration Shoot for Lovely Wedding Magazine

A fun little project in February involved the creation of bright pink florals for a Lovely Magazine feature with many other amazing suppliers and captured by Simon Peter Taylor.  Its always great to work with other suppliers who love their job, and aim to push the boundaries on design.  We created a hanging ladder floral feature for the shoot, as well as table florals, bouquets and buttonholes all with bright and pastel toned blooms and foliage.  Our vintage ladders are available to hire through Green and Bloom.
 
If your looking for some fabulous event inspiration I highly recommend you pop over and view this inspirational new online magazine.  There are so many concepts and ideas which you could use not just for your wedding, but a kitchen tea, birthday or hens.

Sarah and John's beautiful day as featured on Style Me Pretty Australia

We were super excited to be able to work alongside Sarah and John on their wedding day, and to see their wedding featured on Style Me Pretty with the day captured perfectly by Simon Taylor Photography.  Sarah's styling was modern yet pretty with touches of navy/white chevron, gold, pinks, and crystal decanters. 
 
Green and Bloom styled and setup a drinks stand outside of the ceremony to provide guests with refreshments and the wedding cake straight after the ceremony, featuring fresh blooms on the cake, custom made chevron bunting, tin buckets and striped paper straws on the table.  Their reception followed at MODA, with stunning city views and an abundance of colourful blooms, chevron napkins for each guest, and gold leaf table numbers.  We also created feature ledges of family photos of Sarah and John inter placed alongside gold sparkle tea light candles and blooms.
 
It was a real pleasure to help create a beautiful day for Sarah and John, and we wish you both the most amazing and fulfilling future together.

"Hi Roberta, I just can't say thank you enough for helping make my wedding day the best day of my life. All my ideas that we talked about you made a reality and the bouquets, buttonholes, post-ceremony decorations and reception styling were exactly what I had hoped for. The little extra touches you put on everything were unexpected and beautiful and you went above and beyond what was required of you. Thank you thank you thank you - I would not hesitate to recommend you as a florist and it is very clear why you are so successful at what you do.  Best wishes for the rest of the wedding season! Sarah"
