Blushing Blooms {Real Weddings} Sally & Mark: Romantic Peonies & Dusty Miller

Congratulations to another Blushing Blooms bride, Sally! (Yes, great name but no its not “our” Sally Thompson!) We are delighted to share some beautiful photos from her and new hubby Mark’s celebration – and they are gorgeous!

One of our favourite photographers, Elise Garner of leCoCo was to shoot the day so we were confident the images were going to be amazing, amazing, amazing. And, truly – they are….

Stunning Sally carried a magnificent pink bouquet – including perfect pink peonies and dusty miller. Sally’s bridesmaids all carried a hand tied white bouquet of roses and dusty miller. What a beautiful group of women!

Each table was dressed in 3 varied vases filled with fresh blooms of Roses, Carnations and Chincherinchi’s. Magnificent Pink Peonies finished off the crisp white wedding cake! Grouped small vases is a very popular wedding decor trend right now and Blushing Blooms has a HUGE collection of vases, jars and glassware that can be hired from us. 

A special mention for the elegant cake that Blushing Blooms was lucky to dress with individual pink peonies. If it tasted as good as it looked it must have been delicious!

Sally – thank you for choosing Blushing Blooms to be your floral designer for your wedding day and of course, congratulations – we wish you a lifetime of love, happiness and beautiful flowers! 

Thanks Elise for your beautiful work. If you are looking for a Sydney wedding photographer visit the le CoCo site for more information.

Blushing Blooms {Real Weddings} Karina & Matt – Romantic, soft roses

Congratulations to yet another Blushing Blooms bride, Karina! We are delighted to share some spectacular photos from her and new hubby Matt’s gorgeous wedding celebration captured by Sydney photographer Michelle Fiona Photography.

We love the fresh, romantic feel these bouquets add to the images! Karina and her beautiful bridesmaids carried hand tied bouquets with Vendella Roses, different shades of pink Ranunculas and tied off with Ivory Organza Ribbon. Truly soft, pretty and feminine – the floral designs were in perfect keeping with Karina’s lace-edged veil and romantic vintage influenced gown. So, so beautiful!
