A floral heap, tulips past their peak, and fritillaria set the brief.

Our first conversations for Rebecca and Derek’s floral vision began with a love for unique blooms across all stages, and an openness to a range of colour. We set out to source interesting flowers from our growers, and the results were stunning beyond what we imagined. It was an honour to translate their dreams into reality.

A glimpse at the gallery, and an insight into the brief:

The Brief | Bridal Bouquet

Rebecca envisioned a unique cascading bouquet, with moments of burgundy and plum. We embraced her request for fritillaria and red-striped tulips, sourcing blooms that were open, long, and just the right amount of floppy to bring her vision to life. The result was a bouquet that felt loose and organic, led by the natural movement of the flowers, rather than a structured form.

The Brief | The Wedding Party

While the groom and groomsmen wore vintage brooches, the bridesmaids were given petite bouquets made up of a few flower varieties each. We designed these with floral combinations that related to one another in overall feel, while still allowing each bouquet to have its own thoughtful shape and colour story.

The Brief | Ceremony

The ceremony featured a trio of elements to one side, creating a layered vignette within the space. We paired the florals with vessels by Nathalee Paolinelli to add an architectural counterpoint to the softness of the blooms, and we draped lengths of lace and fabric through the installation to connect the arrangements and soften the composition and design.

The Brief | Ceremony

On the right side, Rebecca + Derek wanted a heaping, compost-like floral installation with an organic feel. We built this as a dense, layered arrangement, allowing stems to spill outward rather than hold a tight shape. Over-bloomed tulips were placed throughout for their movement and character, butterflies brought a touch of whimsy, and the array of blossoms overall added variation and depth.

The Brief | Reception

A statement arrangement was planned for the bar, designed in a bold red sculptural vessel by Nathalee Paolinelli. The arrangement had a free-formed feel, nodding to the ceremony arrangements, while holding its own as a focal point in the new space. 

Tables were styled with smaller arrangements throughout the room, which focused on florals with a slightly unexpected quality to continue to add to the magic of the day.

We’re so grateful to Rebecca and Derek for trusting us to play a part in their gorgeous celebration. We’ll be thinking about this one for a long time.
