Flying interstate for a wedding is not a new experience for me! I’ve done it three times before, and have another one in Melbourne early next year. I love flowers, so going that extra mile (or few kilometres…) is no big thing, especially when it involves selecting the flowers early that morning, packing them and flying them with me to the final destination.
My babies are in water within 3 hours of purchase, and rarely suffer the long haul due to careful packing and MANY ‘Fragile’ stickers plastered all over the boxes. I suppose I could order them in the state I have the wedding in, but then there’s no personal ‘inspection’ of the flowers, and I miss that initial buzz when a flower I wasn’t planning on buying (due to projected seasonal availability) is suddenly beckoning me across the warehouse floor…point in case: L.O.V. or Lily Of the Valley. The wedding in Maroochydore asked for white and delicate wrist corsages ~ I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to envelope the senses with sweet, intoxicating L.O.V.
The bridal bouquet was natural stemmed, wired and very elegant. Cymbidium orchids, Akito roses, Amazing roses, freesias, sweet pea and dusty miller foliage were combined and bound with white satin ribbon. The bridesmaids complimented the bride with maroon ranunculus, sweet pea, roses and cymbidium orchids.
