Frangipani Wedding Decorations

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Apart from the hibiscus, there’s perhaps no other flower that says beach wedding than gorgeous fragrant frangipanis.  Frangipanis or plumeria as they are also known are blooming everywhere along our beaches at the moment.  One of our iconic beach flowers, they make the perfect beach wedding decoration or flower motif for Australian weddings.

Grey will be the neutral IT color for 2011 weddings. With not a rainy cloud in sight, shades of charcoal, dove, stone, oyster and shell will be incorporated into wedding colour palettes for 2011 and we just love how grey pairs beautifully with vibrant hues such as fuchsia pink, coral and teal.  
The other colour of choice for [...]

Decorating Your Wedding with Rose Pomanders

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Rose balls, kissing balls or pomanders are one of my favourite wedding decorations.  They’re superbly romantic and pretty – little tea roses studded side by side around a ball to create a mass of beauty.  I love them hanging from shepherds crooks down the wedding aisle, as a table decoration for your wedding reception, or [...]

Sunflowers Make a Wedding Even Happier!

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

If I had my time over, I would have sunflowers at my wedding.  Big, happy, jolly, bright and extroverted sunflowers.  Huge smiling faces, bright petals dancing as you walk and long stems to dramatically elongate me as I walk down the aisle.  Perfectly representing how happy I am with my amazing husband.  Making a happy [...]
