Anna & Fraser

February 2022

This wedding was super special to me and stands out for a couple reasons. Anna and Fraser got married at Old Forest School on my five year anniversary with my husband Nick. They were even married with the same celebrant as Nick and I, Debbie Hunt! It was so special to be back at my own wedding venue celebrating Anna and Fraser. The week leading up to the wedding was filled with suspense! Anna and Fraser live in Auckland, and Covid cases were on the rise. They were able to get to Tauranga, but just before a lockdown was announced. I was so relieved for them and excited to be creative for their special day. Anna and Fraser actually decided to leave the lockdowns behind and moved to Wellington right after their wedding day! This couple were such a joy to work with and gave me lots of creative freedom with the florals. I was able to meet with Anna and Fraser a year before their wedding, this gave us plenty of time to collaborate and get to know each other. Anna is a naturopath so we made sure to include lots of herbs in the arrangements. Rosemary, mint, and oregano were some of our favourites, they smelled divine as well.

Georgia & Brendon

February 2022

Think Classic, Elegant, Timeless… the perfect way to describe what Georgia had envisioned for her wedding. Now think rustic, romantic, farm house… also what Georgia had envisioned for her wedding! When we first met, Georgia was torn between a classic or rustic vibe for her wedding to Brendon at Old Forest School in April. After a couple meetings and mood boards discussing her options, Georgia decided she wanted to look back at her wedding and have classic elegant florals that would be timeless. We found ways to incorporate the rustic vibe in the ceremony arch and reception tables, so this awesome couple could have the best of both worlds!

SOMMER & KANES SUPRISE WEDDING

MARCH 2019

Hands down the most fun wedding to work on to date! This gorgeous couple have been together for 17 years and have two amazing daughters (Sam 20yrs and Kyra 14yrs). They have a huge amount of love for each other, their daughters, family and friends from far and wide. The people in their lives are hugely important to them so bringing them together for their wedding day was something that they wanted to do in their own unique way.

They planned an adventure for all guests and had three days camping at Phoenix Valley. All guests came expecting a 40th birthday party for Summer. Friends and family travelled across the globe. Upon arrival guests were ushered over for the beautiful surprise ceremony, and then they partied for three days. Sommer and Kane let me have loads of free rein with their wedding flowers, the brief was “give me loads of texture”!!! And proteas to represent Sommer’s grandmother. With proteas being out of season I couldn’t guarantee them. Thankfully the week of the wedding a handful popped up and I was able to incorporate them into Sommer’s bridal bouquet and into their stunning two piece ceremony display along with stunning wedding flowers such as antique hydrangeas, large headed roses, a few varieties of amaranth toi toi and so many more bits and pieces to make everything pop.

HAYLEY & CAMERON’S OLD FOREST SCHOOL DAY

JUNE 2019

Hayley was an absolute breeze as a bride to work with. As it happened, I probably had more communication with her sister Lisa, who did an outstanding job of conveying Hayley’s vision to me. Hayley and Cameron started their day at Pukehina Beach and when I arrived with the bouquets and buttonholes, I was welcomed with open arms.

Everyone was over the moon with the flowers. For me personally this wedding was an extra special joy because Hayley and Cameron were about to get married at the same venue, I got married in a few years earlier. As it had for me, Old Forest School delivered on everything it stands for and the happy couple had a magical day. They said it couldn’t have been any more perfect. I love hearing this from all my couples as, in my eyes, that is how every wedding day should go. Hayley’s gown was stunning and came from Katie Yeung at Daisy Brides.
