Michala & Wes celebrated their love with a striking and stylish wedding in January this year. The Australian couple reside in New York but wanted to return home to be married in front of their family and friends. They chose Nudgee College in Brisbane, Wes is a former student of the school, for their ceremony and held a gorgeous reception at Maleny Manor, Maleny.

After an initial meeting in our studio with the couple mid last year, the remainder of the decision making and communication had to be done via email when Wes & Michala returned to New York. We often work with couples who live interstate or overseas so this was easily achievable .

Michala chose a traditional white rose bouquet but with a modern style – long, prominent green stems and a white satin bow with long, trailing ribbon.

Michala wanted her bridesmaid’s flowers to really stand out against the neutral base of long, navy dresses and we used an eye-catching combination of fuchsia Phalaenopsis Orchids, hot pink Vanda orchids, coral roses, hot pink Sim Carnations, dark blue Delphinium, hot pink miniature roses and a touch of red hypericum berry.

The 2 flowergirls carried Floral Star Wands covered with white miniature roses, and the Groomsmen’s buttonholes matched the bridesmaid’s bouquets.

We delivered the bridal bouquets and buttonholes to Brisbane, as well as setting up the reception tables at Maleny Manor. As we specialise in wedding floral designs exclusively, we have recently been engaged by many brides who choose Brisbane as their wedding location and we will travel anywhere between the Brisbane and Sunshine Coast regions if required.

Michala requested something “different/creative” for her tables and after many emails back and forth it was decided that each table at Maleny Manor was to be adorned with a tall, glass cylinder vase that held a potted, fuschia Phalaenopsis Orchid and fresh green moss within. We placed the tall vases on square mirror tiles and then scattered a few hot pink Vanda Orchids at the base. With the glimmer from Maleny Manor’s tealights as well, the effect was beautiful and Michala & Wes were thrilled with the end result.
