Orange is one of my favourite colours. Dusky burnt earthy shades in particular. Apparently in Buddhism, it's the colour of communication. I like that.
Hence I was very excited to be commissioned by this lovely bride to create her wedding flowers using flowers only in shades of orange.
Mango calla lilies and lily grass, bound with diamantes and silver metallic ribbon, against the bride's fair skin, gorgeous silvery gown and fabulous Chanel red nails, resulted in an elegant bouquet in beautifully contrasting rich, warm tones.
The pretty bridesmaids wore lovely pale blue dresses and carried simple orange gerbera and gemini hand tied bouquets bound with silver satin ribbon. Lovely.
One of the many lovely aspects of being is florist, is the opportunity it gives, to meet and work with all sorts of talented, creative, inspiring individuals.
Coo-ing over jewellery designers sparkly gems, drooling over cake makers creations, getting over excited about wedding stationary colour palettes, admiring beautiful fabric swatches and ribbons, eagerly awaiting the wedding photos, it's all part of the job - how wonderful is that!
The photographer of this wedding is the lovely, talented Rachel Spivey.
