Real Wedding Diaries

Jo and Ron

louise — Wed, 16 May 2012 01:48:00 +0000

I wanted to share with you the very beautiful wedding of Jo and Ron which took place in Noosa a couple of years ago. At Mondo Floral designs we are often asked to create unique and individual designs, and being able to create and deliver these individual designs is what we pride ourselves on here. Jo requested a very classic yet modern interpretation of a vintage styled trailing design, full and massed with perfect white blooms, and the gardenia blooms was very important to Jo and integral to the bouquet.

I have to say it was one of my favourite bouquet designs I created, mainly because I also adore gardenia blooms and I loved this bouquet so very much.
Jo’s bouquet also featured double tulips, Lilly of the Valley, hyacinths, roses and freesias all of these delicate white blooms were designed together to create this very special bouquet.

This beautiful wedding was co-ordinated by Kim Eibrink Jansen from Events of Noosa . Jo and Ron’s wedding reception was held at Sails Restaurant Noosa

A big thank you to Sarah and Brad from Focus Films for the beautiful images.

Jane and Ben

We had a fabulous weekend of beautiful weddings each and every one of them very unique and individual. One of our favourites was the wedding held on Friday of Jane and Ben at Spicers Clovelly Estate Montville. We were thrilled to create the floral styling brief which focussed on a very vintage eclectic theme.

A colour palette of creams, ivory, soft pink and pale blue was featured using a combination of David Austin roses, Lisianthus, delphinium, Antique roses, double tulips, dusty miller and gypsophila.

We took these images on the day but we can’t wait to share with you the professional photographs from Studio Impressions soon. This beautiful wedding was co-ordinated by Trudy and her team at Love Bird Weddings, enjoy!

The ceremony featured delicately wrapped roses and ivy on a beautiful handmade canopy.

The reception was held under a gorgeous transparent marquee, that featured fairy lights and candle light and our floral blooms in crystal vintage vases.

Carly’s rustic vintage styled country wedding

Here a few images of the lovely wedding that took place on the weekend at the very beautiful Yandina Station. A country rustic event that was styled by the team at Lovebird weddings, we were delighted to be chosen as Carly’s floral designers and we had such fun creating her very eclectic styled floral designs.

The bouquets featured hydrangea, David Austin roses, standard roses, hyacinths and feature dusty miller.

These images were taken by us on the day, but we look forward to sharing with you some professional shots of Carly’s divine wedding day!

The reception designs featured mis-matched vintage jars and bottles with eclectic style blooms within, and the barn style country setting was a perfect backdrop for this very gorgeous event.

How gorgeous is this wedding. Sally’s relaxed feel and stunning colour palette was a stand out theme, and suited the amazing garden party feel that House of Laurels has to offer.

Sally carried an unstructured posy design of ivory calla lilies, white lisianthus, white hyacinths, antique lavender mettalina roses and of course a touch of dusty miller.

The purple, charcoal grey gowns that the bridesmaids wore could come across as slightly difficult to match a floral colour palette with, however the vivid mix of blooms that they held created a beatiful floral accessory. They carried bouquets of blue/purple hycinths, purple calla lilies, dusty miller, purple lisianthus and mettalina roses.

Jane and Tim

Every now and then a wedding just makes an impression on such a beautiful scale, and in this particular instance that was the wedding of Jane and Tim, held at a magnificent private residence at Cooroy.

Jane had her heart set on hydrangea for her wedding day, all of her invitations, stationery and other styling elements were focussed on the beautiful blue hydrangea, so the pressure to deliver them was on the Mondo Team to say the very least, but we were thrilled to be able to create her designs using these beautiful blooms.

Jane’s floral styling consisted of floral blooms in shades of blue, white, lavender, green and grey, and consisted of the gorgeous hydrangea blooms, sea holly, delphinium, lavender, Lisianthus, dusty miller, berry, Dahlia’s and hyacinths.

The bridal bouquets were soft and unstructured and featured all of these eclectic florals.

The stunning property hosted the ceremony and reception and the guests enjoyed a feast of food on 2 large long seated tables, where we placed varying size jam jars with eclectic blooms featuring the colour palette of blue and white.

Jane sent us this very beautiful note yesterday, just 2 days after her beautiful wedding day.

One of the most favourite part of our job is to create floral styling designs for themed photographical shoots. We recently had the opportunity to work with Trudy from Love Bird Weddings and Calli Burnett from Calli B Photography at Little Cove in Noosa, where having a tea party with punchy colour and eclectic styling was featured for a layout in the current edition of Sunshine Coast Brides
magazine.

What fun we had, the afternoon on the sand featured a lovely concept that showcased vivid shoes, vintage décor and punchy florals and don’t forget about the cute little pooch!

Our lovely florals featured poppies, snapdragons, stock, jonquils, roses and tulips. We can’t wait to share another shoot with you very soon!

Aleisha’s beautiful pink wedding day!

louise — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 04:12:43 +0000

It is always a pleasure working at Maleny Manor, and this particular Sunday our wedding there just seemed so right! A very happy bride who just couldn’t wait to say “I Do!”, Aleisha was gorgeous on the inside and out, and we loved creating her floral designs for her very special day.

Aleisha’s styling featured a palette of pink, and her bridal bouquets showcased pastel blooms in a soft feathery design. Featuring hyacinths, David Austin roses, pink double tulips, Sweet Avalanche roses and the very first of the season cymbidium orchids. The natural hand held posy bouquets were a stunning accessory to Aleisha’s gown, and her bridesmaids styling also.
