Roses are Red

What's in a bouquet? When it comes down to what flowers to choose for your bouquet it can be a very hard decision. There are so many fabulous choices!

We think sprigs of lavendar is a sweet alternative to tradtional bouquets ... or olive branches mixed with contorted willow makes for a unique bouquet. We admit however that it can be hard to go past a beautiful bouquet of peonies (if you're fortunate enough to be wed in the season) or of course David Austen roses, ranunculus and the list goes on ....

Amy Osaba Event. Floral. Design. puts together some amazing flowers! Her style is often a twist on the traditional and a whole lot of fun! You can tell she truly loves the creative process and the results are amazing! Sadly for us Amy is based in the States, so whilst we may not be able to employ her creative genius, we can still have fun looking at her creations and take inspiration. Here are a few ....

It's the little things ....

All those gorgeous, thoughtful touches do get noticed on your wedding day. All those details that you've agonised over, thought and re-thought come together on the day to complete the magic. We've seen so many beautiful touches to weddings be it in the decor, gifts to the guests, props for photobooths etc which provide so many picture perfect photo opportunities! Just like this one of Melissa & AJ's Wedding taken by W. Scott Chester Photography.

How absolutely fun are the pink flamingos??
