Autumnal Bliss- a wedding roadtrip

In the dog days of our pseudo-summer, Olla took a road trip to the Western Wilderness Lodge in Egmont Village on the Sunshine Coast. We were delivering beautiful flowers to a stunning wedding between Nicole and Bas. An hour before the ceremony was set to begin, the hard rains gave way to a most beautiful day...

An aisle of local, yellow cymbidium orchids frame the coming attractions.

 

   

This hand-tied boutonniere features an air plant (tillandsia)- a sustainable option that will last and last.

 

Bridal bouquet extraordinaire.

 

Touches of botanicals to accentuate the beauty already in the room.

 

Mini-posy for possibly the cutest flower girl ever photographed.

 

The wedding party in it's full glory. Congratulations Nicole & Bas.
