We transformed the staircase into an arching forest of florals to lead guests into a dreamy and romantically lit dining room. Each table abundantly filled with centrepieces, fruits, bud vases of peonies, silk runners and dusty pink dinner candles. Place settings were layered with detailed ceramic charger plates, fine glassware, linen napkins, beautiful custom menus and classic silver cutlery.

Take a look at this dreamy summertime wedding in the ground of Centennial Parklands, followed by a fun & fabulous reception at the beautiful Centennial Homestead.
I’m back within a week - WHAT? - to share with you a few things I’ve learn over time on making floral arrangements, specifically bouquets, a little more visually light, airy & oh so dreamy!
You can also use these tips on any arrangement really, especially for floral centrepieces, and focal florals.
Oh what an engagement party it was! ... even if I do say so myself!
We wanted to celebrate our recent engagement by the water and in the warmth of the sun, and oh my gosh we got warm... it was a boiling hot day (so set up was kinda mad/sweaty/hot) but as you’ll see below, it was all worth it!

The day started off with excitement as the Oh Flora team unloaded buckets upon buckets of local blooms and foraged foliages and branches. Light flooded into the open studio space as we waited for the eager attendees to arrive. Soon they poured into space and were greeted by personalised goodies and an array of bright florals to create with.

Zoe and Tanya met a few years back on Instagram and since, they have bonded over their love of spectacular florals. This relationship provided the perfect opportunity for a truly unique workshop experience; a very special and rare opportunity to learn within an intimate, supported & inspiring environment where the attendees could forage a vast array of fresh florals.

It's been almost two weeks since my last post... I really really have to be harder on myself about getting these up more frequently, so please feel free to give me a push! BUT I have been oh so busy. I turned 26 last week, and in my life, every year is a big party year... ha! I just REALLY love parties, and so I've been busy celebrating.
Anyway, Today I'm sharing my snaps from running through the fields of Geraldine's peony farm just outside of Mt Vernon in Washington State, USA.
Today I'm sharing the abundance of floral goodness Team Floret and Floret Workshop attendees created for the design workshop farewell dinner last month.
If you don't know what workshop I'm talking about, check out this post I shared yesterday!
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that I recently travelled to the Skagit Valley, WA in the USA to be part of Team Floret. What an honour it was to help teach an incredible group of eager to learn, flower loving souls!
(This is my second year as part of the team, and third time visiting Floret - I was an attendee in 2015 at the Wildflowers Workshop).
So I was about to clean my studio yesterday morning and then a bucket of leftover blooms caught my eye... and so here we are! I excused it as practice with my blogging and photo skills, which is true - however my studio is still a big mess right now! Gotta get onto that asap.

Wow! What Wow! What is going on?! Two posts in three days? .. I know, I'm trying very hard to make a habit of this 'blogging' to share my most favourite snaps and some of the places I love to travel. But for the most part, I'm encouraging myself to do this is for my own self improvement. I really like to write and take photos, but I don't think I'm all that good at it - So here I am trying to better myself. Here's to hopes (and doings) that I'll keep it up! is going on?!
