MAY MADNESS
Well May has come and gone !!!! - there was Mother's Day, my birthday, ABIA Awards and of course Weddings to be done.
Mother's Day is one of the florist's busiest days of the year with all those lovely Chrissie available ( as well as other beautiful flowers) beautiful large yellow and white disbuds along with single Chrissies in every colour of the rainbow. My Mum was the recipient of some beautiful yellow and white spider chryssies. As my birthday falls on or coincides with Mother's day every year - every thing but flowers is what i receive.
The beginning of May saw emails being received for the announcement of finalists of the ABIA Awards (Australian Bridal Industry Awards for Qld ) . For the past 4 years i have been lucky enough to have been a finalists in the Floral Design Category . Clients for the past 12 months ( brides and groom's) have to nominate you for an award under many areas in your category. Service, value for money, professionalism etc etc.
At the awards it's nice to catch up with fellow wedding industry suppliers as well as meet new ones. 6th place seemed to be the theme for our table this year. Sarah Jane ( Cake That) Toni Snell (Photographer) Cherisse (Make up artist) and myself were all awarded /voted 6th place in our respected categories. A good time and lots of laughs were had.
Saturday May 30
On a lovely Saturday afternoon Melea and Cameron chose Hillstone St Lucia for their wedding. The colour theme was pink and white. Her bouquet consisted of white roses and freesias, with white and pink lissianthius. She looked stunning with several white lissianthius in her hair. Her flower girl had similar flowers and Cameron and the Page Girl looked handsome in suites with white rose buttonholes. This theme was carried through on to the reception table pieces of simple rose petals, dodda vine and tea light candles. Melea was fantastic to work with and i wish she and Cameron all the very best.
