Another Beautiful Wedding

One of our delightful clients returned again this year to arrange another wedding this time for her son. Christine again took on the job of organising as her son lives and works overseas. The theme was white and soft pink lush and beautiful. The ceremony was in the Grand Hall at Grammar and the reception at Customs House with brunch the next day at home.



Maryrose and Larni created the bouquets and large arrangements while Martin laboured on the table arrangements. The large arrangements were delivered to the Church and then moved to the reception and then the following day to be enjoyed at home. M&J removals (Martin & Justin) provided the muscle to make the move happen!

The room at Customs House came alive with a black and silver theme and lush flowing blooms incorporated into the candle holders supplied by the venue. Draped jewels and taper candles finished off the arrangements and the room was amazing.

FLOWER CARE FOR WINTER

Well its amazing what some good moisturiser and sleep can do!!

Now I want to take the opportunity to ramble on about winter care for your blooms and plants. As things cool down and we unpack the jumpers for another year we should not neglect our flowers or flowering indoor plants. Your flowers will last longer in the cooler weather but you need to be mindful that they still need to be recut when you get them home and pop them into a clean vase with luke warm water and a splash of bleach. The water should also be changed on a regular basis and the stem recut again. Your blooms will drink more water if you have the heating on so keep an eye out. Keep the flowers out of drafts and away from the reverse cycle aircon and direct sunlight.

As your skin will be feeling the drying effect so will your indoor plants. They still need water in winter just not as much. Once the plant has totally dried out it is on the way out and rewetting the soil can be a nightmare. Clients with our orchid bowls should ensure that the moss is damp - not wet. It is also a good time to give the leaves of your indoor greens a clean to remove any dust and impurities which have built up over the warmer months. I also give everything a good misting with a liquid fertiliser after cleaning - I use a very weak fish emulation to the colour of a Latte in a spray bottle I got at Coles. It seems to perk them up and keeps them looking good. You can also spray the leaves with white oil for a shinny finish. I do the same thing at the shop when the plants come in from the growers. Clients with palms and madonna lilies can put the whole plant into the shower for a good clean and flush out - think tropical storm.
