We have had the pleasure of making some beautiful Wedding Flowers this season so what better way to showcase a few then in a blog for you all to enjoy!

First up is the lovely Casey Dixon 

“We got married 3rd February and I am just wanting to recommend all of our Vendor Superstars – our day went off without a hitch and it’s all thanks to these beautiful souls <3Susan and her team at Amaryllis went above and beyond for us with our wedding flowers; they created the most beautiful bouquets we have ever seen and matched these perfectly with wreaths and floral arrangements for our tables and around our venue. Susan sourced the most incredible roses, we received so many comments on the colours and how beautifully everything worked together.”

The Bridesmaids dresses perfectly complimented the Rose colours.

Casey’s Wedding Reception was held at Grandview Gardens, Outram, Dunedin

Our Next Wedding we’d like to showcase is Catie Cawleys beautiful day.

Eucalyptus was a very popular foliage choice in Wedding bouquets this season and complemented Catie’s Bridal and Bridesmaids Bouquets exquisitely along with her colour palette of White and Yellow Roses, Snapdragons, Daisy Spray Chrysanthemums and Astilbe in a stunning relaxed garden style.

Catie's Bridal Bouquet

The Ombre effect of Catie’s Bridesmaids Dress colours were very visually effective and the relaxed style Bouquets compliment the whole look nicely. It is also such a lovely personal touch to include a loved pet into your Bridal Party.

We hope you enjoy these 2 weddings we've picked to showcase for 2018

                  Victorians began this tradition called ‘Floriography’....

For absolute Centuries, Flowers have symbolized fertility, love, marriage and romance so it’s no secret by now you’ve most likely noticed a strong link between RED ROSES and Cupid, making this classic bloom the most obvious choice - but have you ever wondered why do we give RED ROSES on Valentines day in the first place?

The history behind giving your LOVE flowers on Valentines day comes from the old fashioned custom of sending floral bouquets to pass on non-verbal messages. This sweet tradition first came about in the 18th Century by Charles II of Sweden where each flower had a specific meaning attached to it, making it possible to have an entire conversation using only flowers! How amazing is that!

Even the colour and how the flowers were arranged held significance and according to Florigraphy the RED ROSE is said to be an expression of passion or true love, hence its association with Valentines Day. A Pink rose would communicate warm affection, and Yellow roses are linked with joy, friendship and new beginnings.

To this day ROSES remain one of the major symbols of VALENTINES DAY, but whether you prefer ROSES or not we’ve got you covered with a variety of options sure to put a smile on your loved ones dile.
