Blushing Blooms {Wedding In Progress} Vintage Romance in Pastels with Dusty Miller

Another weekend, another wedding!

And this last wedding was the epitome of vintage romance. Luxe, soft and textured – Sally’s most favourite style of bouquet. So, have a look below and see what we’ve been up to. As soon as the professional images are available we will be delighted to share them with you. Until then, enjoy this sneak peak!

Oh and PS you know why we show you pictures of Sally and the team at work? So you can be sure that if you are considering Blushing Blooms as your wedding floral designer you know that what we show you here on the blog is our own work. Beautiful, high quality, original work completed by us. We don’t need to show you pictures of other people’s work we’ve snagged off the net. Our own work is amazing:)

Blushing Blooms {Wedding In Progress} Orchid & Lily Bridal Hedge (Head Table Flowers)

As part of the wedding that we were working on for this weekend we were charged with making an elaborate 8 metre bridal hedge. This is a long display of flowers that runs the length of the ‘head’ table. It’s important to have something with the wow-factor on the bride & grooms table as this is traditionally the focal point of any wedding.

The bridal hedge is made in sections so that it can be transported and then assembled in full at the venue. As soon as the professional images of this wedding come through we will post them – until then here’s Sally working the magic on a lily and orchid design which is going to be amazing when complete…

Nice blog!

Blushing Blooms {Wedding in Progress} Romantic roses with silver dollar gum.

It was a busy day in the studio as we worked on the wedding flowers for another beautiful Blushing Blooms bride.

These bouquets were simply to-die-for. Flowers included white spray roses, julia roses, honeymoon roses and silver dollar gum. The overall look was romantic, soft and the loose construction of the bouquet made for a ‘just hand picked’ look – exactly what the bride requested.

The room decor of centrepieces and arrangements were in keeping with the bouquet styles and featured candelabra for an opulent look.

We look forward to sharing the professional images of this wedding…hopefully they are not too far away!

Blushing Blooms {Real Weddings} Amy & Josh: Vintage Romance

Congratulations to another Blushing Blooms Bride, Amy! We are excited to share some gorgeous photos of her and new hubby Josh’s lovely wedding thanks to Sydney photographer Angelica Peady Photography.

Beautiful Amy carried a magnificent bouquet including Julia Roses, White Sweet William, Berzillia  Berry and Dusty Miller bound in Twine Binding. Julia Roses were also pinned into the brides hair for a soft and romantic feel. So, so pretty!

Now for an interesting twist, Amy & Josh are keen bowlers – and when wet weather interrupted their plans between their ceremony and reception they took their entire wedding to the alley and got down and dirty for some ten pin. How much fun! Yep, even Amy, resplendent in her stunning gown pulled on those bowling ‘clown’ shoes and showed her guests how it’s done!

Amy & Josh: Thank you for choosing Blushing Blooms to be your floral designer for your wedding day. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!

Blushing Blooms {Wedding In Progress} Apricot Roses & Singapore Orchids

Well here’s a sneak peak of what we were up to today – another beautiful wedding of course!

This wedding is to be held at the Newport Mirage – a venue we are extremely familiar with and have worked with on multiple occasions.

The bouquets were soft marmalade-y tones with apricot roses and white Singapore orchids. The overall look was feminine, pretty and unique. Apricot is an emerging colour trend for 2012/3 and looks fabulous teamed with chocolate brown, other shades of orange and also coral into pink tones.

So, here’s some shots of the bouquets being worked on and before they left the store for delivery to another Blushing Blooms bride. As always, we will share the professional shots as soon as they are available!
