Baby Poppy

Just wanted to share a pic of the newest addition to the Green and Bloom team - our baby 'Poppy' born in December.  I am sure no one would guess Poppies are my favourite flower...

This beautiful bub along with my toddler keep me very busy while on maternity leave, so please be aware no meetings are occuring until June, but these are booking quickly.  I am also not checking emails very frequntly while on leave so please shoot me an email and I will aim to get back to you as soon as I am able.

Hoping everyone has a fabulous weekend,

Endless Summer Shoot as featured on Polka Dot Bride

As summer has left us now and many brides are planning for their summer weddings at the end of this year I thought it would be suiting to share some images from a inspiration shoot I was invloved in late last year “Summer with a 50′s twist”.

So many fabulous suppliers were involved in the shoot which was shot by Shutter & Lace Photography and organised by Savor the Moment Wedding Planning.  Our part was creating and providing florals which used a mix of Peonies, Roses, Suculents, Dusty Miller, Lisianthus, Billy Buttons, Easter Daisy and lots more.  Our apothecary drinks dispensers, vintage bottles, mini milk bottles and drinks tray were also used a props for this shoot and worked perfecting with the 50's theme.

You can see heaps more of the images and further details on what each supplier provided on the Polka Dot Bride blog.

Happy weekend everyone.  May it be filled with love, friends and rays of sunshine.

Katrina & Tom as featured on The LANE

Its wonderful to be able to work with creative brides and grooms, putting their floral visions into reality.  Katrina is a food editor (and just quietly has also recently published her first book Kitchen Coquette), while Tom is a doctor.  Katrina wanted both of their loves - Katrina's being her love of food and all things beautiful, and Tom's medicine background, incorporated into the wedding.  She sourced vintage medicine bottles (which came with their origional tags and labels), wooden test tube holders, giant white balloons, a typewritter and lots of other beautiful vintage elements from America.  She also hired old cinema chairs through the Wolloongabba Antique Centre.

The florals we created were pretty yet rustic and incorporated many different blooms including; Blushing Bride, Ranunculus, Freesias, Lily of The Valley, Wax Flower, along with textured elements of Dusty Miller, Berzillia Berry and Ivy Berry.  I loved being able to had string individual Hyacinth heads so they appeared like showers from the giant balloons which linned the ceremony aisle.

This was one of my favourite weddings from 2010 and delighted to share some pics below by Katrina's very talented photographer Natalie McComas.  Natalie is available to travel throughout Australia and worldwide to photograph weddings, and her style is creative yet jouralistic and always naturally beautiful. 

Our hire range includes the wooden test tube holders, as well as our custom made hessian table runners and medicine bottles available for your next event.  To get our current hire pricelist click here.  Katrina & Tom's wedding was also featured on The LANE website and you can view lots more images from their day here.

Enjoy! Roberta xx

Sweet Rustic Love

I have been going through my hard drive and just found these beautiful pics from a photoshoot I was involved in back when I started my business in 2010. I was asked to create something rustic, yet natural and pretty. Here is what I came up with!
