Native Spring Wedding Flowers
October is a brilliant month for native flowers. A bride is spoilt for choice! Last October I was privileged to be able to provide flowers for a wedding at MONA in Hobart. The bride and groom were from Sydney so NSW Waratah's were a perfect choice. My Telopea Speciosissima hybrids were just bursting with colour.

In terms of colours for the flowers, the bride loved vibrant reds, yellows and deep greens, pincushions and gum nuts. Perfect colours for summer natives! The larger flowers I used for the bouquets were pincusions in red and orange teamed with orange Banksia Ericifolia. The dark rich burgundy…
