Engagement Party - Sharda & Craig

Sharda and Craig wanted to create something special for their engagement party with a magical relaxed atmosphere.  Here are the beautiful results.

Read on to get tips on how to recreate this look and feel.

Styling - Fill your space with lots of gorgeous glass votives, hanging lanterns and sequin curtains to create a romantic intimate setting.
Flowers - We used a mix of large tropical leaves, bamboo, lotus pods, orchids, white hydrangeas, roses,
tuberose (for an amazing scent), succulents, mossy twigs, eucalyptus (for texture) and bright green amaranthus (for a splash of colour).
Music - Buddha Bar
Drink - Lots of bubbles

Working with Colour

For someone who loves white on white with, you guessed it, an extra helping of white (oh and a dash of black) I have to admit working with colour is a lot of fun.

You just can't walk past a combo of pink and orange blooms and not feel happy.

These amazing blooms, and quite a few others were used in a shoot for New Zealand Weddings magazine due out early next year - so just around the corner really.

Can't give too much away, but if you want some colourful inspiration for your wedding keep an eye out for the next issue.

Meanwhile grab a bunch of pink and orange blooms for home today and start smiling, it's contagious!

Poppy Love

If it's a burst of colour you're after you can't go past vibrant, hot poppies. These crepe-petaled blooms look just as fantastic on mass as they do in simple arrangements.

Try mixing the different bright hues together for a real pop of colour, or if you're like me and are fascinated by their paper like appearance keep the arrangment simple so you can appreciate their texture.

A Teaspoon of Sugar

Whenever I think of Spring I think of anything and everything pretty.  Pretty blooms, dresses, nail polish, cakes, teacups and drinks in pretty hues...

So to celebrate Spring we've combined a few of these things, added a teaspoon of sugar {or two} a nip of vodka and we're ready to enjoy the longer days of Spring.

I know you'll enjoy them too!
