Hollingsworth Wedding
Over the weekend one of my very best friends, Mrs Charlotte Hollingsworth married her sweetheart and gave me the privilege of doing the flowers for their wedding.
The theme was vintage, and boy did she do a good job of pulling it off! Everything went without a hitch and despite the weather being VERY dodgy all week, she managed to get away with a rain free day.
Stunning bride, lots of happy tears were shed by myself and (hopefully) most everyone else!
My daughter Alia was one of Charlotte's flower girls, and (yeah ok so I might be a bit biased) she very nearly stole the show! My father plays the bagpipes, and Charlotte had asked him to pipe her down the isle. Alia being a big lover of music, happily danced and pranced her way down the isle, giggling happily and being blissfully unaware of the fact she was completely in the way of the bride and her father coming down the isle. Haha, so cute though.
Anyway, so seeing as this blog is all about my love of flowers and my work, below I am sharing a few pictures of the flowers I did for her wedding - With the help of my very good friend Ashley Hobson, who came all the way down from Auckland to help me. Such a lot of work, I could have never pulled it off without her! Love you chick! x
Enjoy!

The sweet wee church, a historic Military church in a little settlement called Waihou, Appropriate since this was a military wedding.
The isle flowers are in small Agee jars, attached with rustic floral twine.

| The Brides bouquet, Pieris, spray Stock, with white peach and pastel pink roses. ...whoops lets try not to set the bouquet on fire!! |
 |
| The bride had this gorgeous broach she wanted attached, was a wee bit heavy for to hold tightly, hence the slight lean. Still looked gorgeous though...thanks to my very clever friend Ashley who managed attached it in the end...I just couldn't seem to get it on haha. |

The bridesmaids bouquets, looking a little out of shape now after their hour long trip in the car out to the venue and being carried around for a good few hours by this stage, but still holding up well!
So gutted I never got a chance to take a photo of them right after I put them together. *sad face*

The stunning reception hall, still wowed at the amazing job they did in decorating the room! All we can take credit for is the flowers unfortunately haha!

The very gorgeous seating chart Charlotte cleverly made up on an old window, fitting in nicely with her rustic vintage theme. Sadly the ivy wasn't looking quite so flash by the morning of the wedding...note to self, use older ivy, or make sure there is a hidden water source for it.
