Kerrie and Aaron's wedding was designed to be an elegant and contemporary affair using exotic flowers such as the Previa anthurium, the purple Vanda Orchid and Picasso Calla Lily. Kerrie and Aaron wanted it to be stylish and memorable and had themed their wedding around the purple bridesmaids dresses they had chosen.
For Kerrie's bouquet, we designed a contemporary shower bouquet or orchids, anthuriums, calla lilies and germini along with rolls of aspdistra, sprigs of grevillia and sprigs of lily and bear grass. We added transluscent crystals throughout to catch the light. Against Kerrie's dress, this was going to look fabulous...a real show stopper.
For Kerrie's Maid of Honour, we designed a hand-tied bouquet of gerberas, vanda orchids, rolls of aspidistra and grevillia. We then left out the orchids for the Senior and Junior Bridesmaids (but sized the bouquets accordingly). Finally for the Flower Girl, it had to be a cute gerbera "wand" surrounded in purple feathers. All bouquets were wrapped in ivory ribbon but with purple bows attached to bring in the colour.
Aaron wore a stunning orchid buttonhole to match Kerrie and the Best Men and Dads then wore calla lily buttonholes with loops of aspidistra and grasses. The remainder of the Groom's party wore calla lily buttonholes without the aspidistra leaf. Mums wore corsages of mini calla lilies and spray roses, and other female members of the party wore a range of corsages using either calla lilies or spray roses. All very elegant indeed.
Being at the Hop Farm with low beams, we decided on low table arrangements and Kerrie and Aaron chose large fishbowls for the guest tables and smaller ones to be placed on purple runners on the top table. All very elegant. For the large fishbowls, we used the bi-coloured Picasso Calla Lily and for the top table, we filled the mini fishbowls with the gorgeous orchid. Each of the tables was finished with scatter crystals and we added additional Previa anthuriums to the top table to tie in with the bridal bouquet.
The cake was dressed with a structural topper to reflect the bridal bouquet shape and cascaded gently down the side. We then finished the look with a couple of additional wired sections placed strategically. Finally we provided thank-you bouquets for the Mums to match the flowers used elsewhere.
It was a lovely wedding, befitting a lovely couple. Kerrie and Aaron were so easy to work with and knew just what they liked, and yet left us to the design elements. We know they'll be very happy and wish them all the very best in the future.
