Wedding

December 10, 2012 //

Earlier this year my brother got married and I helped the lovely Nhu Christy with the flowers.

The bride and groom are both big foodies so along with the incredible catering from Aria and fresh pizzas from Rosso Pomodorro we tried to incorporate this into the flowers as well, using rosemary from the garden as well as fig branches from the markets. My sister and I wore simple flower crowns and we had big ‘buckets’ of blooms around the gardens.

Check out my sister-in-law’s food blog The Gourmet Forager for more pics from the day.

Melbourne Botanical Gardens

Last year my mother took my sister and me to Melbourne for the weekend to see the Vienna: Art & Design exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. It was a powerful showcase of that incredible era of creativity.

While in the city we visited the Royal Botanical Gardens. Despite being the middle of winter, the gardens were in bloom.

Amy Merrick is a florist and stylist I have long admired.

The way she plays with shape and texture really blows me away and I especially like her use of fruit and berries.

There’s a romanticism to her work and life that is very intriguing.

Check out her blog here.

Peonies

Next month one of my closest friends is getting married and I am helping with the flowers. Last weekend we went to the markets to get an idea of what will be available and make some decisions about the style she wants for the bouquet and arrangements (and flower crowns for us bridesmaids!). Any excuse to get to the markets really.

The bright pink peonies were in full bloom. Too late to buy them but the perfect time to enjoy their splendour. I bought some younger dusty pink ones instead.
