West Village Wedding in Bloom

We did the cutest dang wedding at a lovely little restaurant in the West Village called Bobo.

Who knew lavender came in white?

The colour scheme is simple - white, green, silver. So elegant.

Parrot Tulips are the bomb.




Boxed and ready to set up.

Every arrangement is unique.

Some hang from the banisters.

Vintage coffee tins hold arrangements on the copper bridal table.

Who's ready to get married? 

Great Britain in Bloom

To celebrate the London Olympics and all things British, my friend threw a gorgeous garden BBQ in her Bethenal Green flat.

We themed the party red, white & blue for the Union Jack, which kind of freaked me out as I am not much of a fan of primary colours, let alone the use of multiples of them.

Oh, and I had to create them in reality TV time (ie no time whatsoever) so in the end I was literally shoving the blooms into whatever receptacle that would hold them.

But, like Team GB, they came good in the end.

Britt in Bloom Part 1

For my little sister's 20th birthday dinner, I wanted to do something that wasn't too pretty and feminine. She is really into dark greens, browns, wood and red at the moment, a bit of a Ralph Lauren 70s vibe.

Unfortunately, the day after Mother's Day it's hard to find anything other than white chrysanthemums.

So I went with this pink and green palate. I tried to ground the sweet pink roses with the lime green chrysanthemums, and added some magnolia leaves for a bit of brown. I used the dark pink tulips more for their leaves, although as the flowers have opened the darker pink is adding a new visual element which I'm really enjoying.

The great photos are thanks to the birthday girl herself, love you! xx

Rooftop in Bloom

Even blooms pale in comparison to a rooftop view on a pretty Sydney night. 

Taste of Sydney in Bloom

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending Taste of Sydney in beautiful Centennial Park. It was a super ace day. There were tequila cocktails, stuffed figs, ice-cream sandwiches and lots of other sensory pleasures.

Somehow, in between stuffing my face, I managed to snap some pics of the blooms that surrounded us.

If you get the chance next year, GO! And save me a Sake Kingfish Ceviche.

Magazine in Bloom

My obsession for blooms and table decorating often sees me trawling through wedding blogs for inspiration - there's not much else out there.

So I am very happy to find this online magazine fête which does beautiful table stylings without all the bridezilla.

Oh, and it's free! God bless the interwebs.

LBi in Bloom

Ahh! It all went off without a hitch! We (my trusty helper Emma D and I ) put the flowers up in record time, and it looked good (I think!) and then we packed up and spread some blooms around Sydney before collapsing into bed. SO MUCH FUN! Can't wait to do it again - who's in?
