Katherine and Ben's wedding

Katherine and Ben were married on 11 August 2024 at Houchins. They chose all whites and greens for their flowers, which included the stunning 'playa blanca' rose for the bride's bouquet. 

Katherine's bouquet was a modern take on an all rose domed bouquet, with the flowers at different heights and the stems left fairly long - I did advise that I would cut them shorter than some of the bouquets of this style you see around; you want to be comfortable on your wedding day and long flower stems sticking into your stomach is not the way to do that! I usually cut my stems fairly short anyway to reduce the overall bulk of the bouquet (you're carrying it for a long time after all!) so this way was more in keeping with my style while making it comfortable for the bride.

I debated whether to do one of my bouquet contents cards as there was only one flower in the bridal bouquet but I decided it wouldn't be fair for Katherine to miss out on this little keepsake I like to offer my brides!

For the bridesmaids Katherine opted for wrist corsages rather than bouquets, with roses and spray roses attached to a length of white satin ribbon.

Boxed up and delivered to the venue.

Ben's buttonhole featured spray roses and eucalyptus - simple yet beautiful.

The other men's buttonholes were all the same, although I did add an extra little bud into the groom's!

Their ceremony was held out on the lawn by the lake and it was the most beautiful setting. I hired them my arch which made for a lovely backdrop, with fabric draping, clusters of flowers and lanterns with rose petals at the base. I also hired some additional lanterns which were placed down the aisle. It was a very warm day and the ceremony wasn't until late afternoon, but when I returned to collect the arch the next day the flowers looked really good still which goes to show that trusting a professional to provide your flowers who knows how to look after them properly is definitely worth it!

For the mums I provided thank you bouquets, with a little sentimental photo added into the one for the bride's mum which I thought was a lovely touch.
