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.

ILLUME II Autumn 2018
Illume workshop 2018 photographer by Lana Ivanova.
With a mix of blushing garden blooms and dynamic tropicals, Tanya of Oh Flora showcased methods of creating abundant bridal bouquets and an overflowing arch installation using a variety of techniques. Attendees were greeted with an array of textures, botanicals, and foliages as they watched Tanya demonstrate her methods for creating a trailing and full bridal bouquet. They then indulged in their own floral creations with the help of the Oh Flora team.
Attendees were gifted with hand-woven seagrass totes filled with goodies.
After the attendees finished their beautiful creations, we paused for botanical eats and drinks along with business discussion led by Tanya.
Using a variety of techniques, attendees watched as Tanya created the base for the tropical installation. Soon after they joined right in, adding their creative touch to the arch. We finished the arch with a blushing carnation garland and trailing florals. The result? - like something from a sun-kissed island in the tropics.
Thanks to our gorgeous photographer, to songbird silk for the lovely hand made silk ribbons, and to Comber Street Studios for the incredible light filled studio space:

Our Summery Cocktail Engagement Party
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!
