Personal flowers bring an exquisite touch to your celebration, adding beauty and elegance to hold and wear on your special day. From timeless bouquets for brides, bridesmaids, and flower girls to delicate hair florals that seamlessly weave your floral palette into your guest attire, every flower is thoughtfully crafted to reflect your unique style.

Corsages offer a graceful way to honour your female relatives or even your officiant, while boutonnieres, a classic accessory for men add a refined touch for grooms, groomsmen, ring bearers, and your male family members. Even your beloved furry ones can be part of the special day with bespoke floral collars, tailored to complement your wedding florals.

Flat lays are a cherished element of wedding photography. These flowers are placed by your photographer around your vow booklets, stationary, perfume, rings, and/or jewelry to capture the intimate details of your day, and your love story. Personal flowers enhance these precious moments with thoughtfully arranged blooms and greenery, creating keepsakes to treasure forever.

Ceremony flowers elevate the romance and enchantment of your "I do" moment, transforming your space into a reflection of your unique love story. With endless possibilities for structural designs, your creativity has no limits when envisioning the perfect setting for your vows.

Welcome sign florals set the tone as guests arrive, adding warmth and elegance. Whether arranged atop, beneath, or around your sign, these blooms create a captivating first impression.

Aisle décor seamlessly leads to your backdrop with options ranging from lush floral hedges to delicate bud vases. Some couples opt to attach bouquets to their guest's chairs. A favourite trend this year is dainty blooms sprouting from the grass, perfect for outdoor ceremonies.

Your ceremony backdrop becomes the focal point with breathtaking elements such as pedestal arrangements or floral arches in traditional and contemporary shapes like circles, triangles, or any design you imagine! For venues with gazebos or mantels, floral adornments bring a harmonious, polished touch to the space.

Additional floral accents include cascading ceiling or chandelier arrangements, window sill florals adorned with bud vases, and even tree embellishments.

Explore some of our most stunning designs, including floral walls, hanging installations, stairway florals, and clusters of flower baskets encircling the couple—unique creations that made our 2024 year unforgettable!

Cocktail flowers infuse elegance and charm into your cocktail hour, enhancing the ambiance as your guests mingle and socialize. Thoughtfully placed blooms create a seamless flow of beauty from the ceremony space to the cocktail area, elevating every detail.

Escort card table arrangements or dainty bud vases greet your guests with elegance, while entrance arrangements and cocktail table adornments add a refined touch to the atmosphere. For a grander statement, consider floral hedges framing your bar or enhancing your lounge area!

Additional florals can be extended to your gift table, bar shelves, or guest book table, ensuring every corner exhibits an ambiance of effortless luxury and attention to detail.

Reception flowers create an enchanting ambiance as you and your guests enter the evening, transforming your wedding day into a dreamlike experience. The possibilities for incorporating florals into your reception space are endless, each option adding its own touch of elegance and charm.

Classic designs include head table arrangements for the newlyweds, elevated by multiple floral hedges or a cascading waterfall of blooms. Guest tables are often adorned with lush centerpieces in low or elevated styles, or softened with delicate bud vases for a refined yet intimate feel.

Thoughtful details that we adore include individual place-setting florals to warmly welcome your guests, cake florals that carry the romance through to dessert, and tent entrance florals to welcome your guests into the tented reception, weaving floral artistry into every cherished moment of the day.
