Pink tulip bouquet

Elegant pink tulip wedding bouquet

 The pink tulip matched the groom’s tie for this elegant wedding held at Jones Bay Wharf in Pyrmont.  The wedding party were all thrilled with their flowers – the groom particularly loved his pink tulip and spray rose buttonhole.  I also heard rave reviews from all the guests.

Rob Reed from Lake Macquarie Photography www.lakemacquariephotography.com.au was the photographer for the day – I have had a peek preview and the photos look fabulous – I can thoroughly recommend him if you are looking for a great photographer at a reasonable price.

Wedding Flowers Photo Shoot Cosmopolitan Bride

We are all really excited – have three photoshoots in the next week – two with Cosmo Bride and one with OK Magazine for a wedding special they have in the next few weeks – keep your eyes out. 

The shoots will feature roses in every hue of pink, purple and ivory.

Love doing the photoshoots as it gives us all a chance to show our floristry skills and it is also a great day at the shoot.

This photo is one of my favourites taken at a photoshoot published in the latest edition of Cosmopolitan Bride.

Praise for Wedding Bouquet by Kavelle Flowers

Wedding bouquet featuring white roses, dusty miller with a touch of pink

 

Yesterday we received some lovely compliments from one of our brides, Narelle, about her wedding flowers by Kavelle Flowers.

Here is what she said about her wedding flowers by Kavelle Flowers:

Dear Parthenie and Tania,

 

I have FINALLY got around to putting together some photo’s from my wedding in July.  Ian and I had just such a lovely time, it was a wonderful day, and the flowers were just so beautiful.  Perfect.  They were exactly as I was hoping – or even better, especially my bouquet, I was totally in love with it!

 

Thank you so much Parthenie, for coming up with something that was just that little bit different.. and still so beautiful. You really are an artist!  🙂

 

Somehow our wedding even made it onto TV..  Here is a link to a segment on A Current Affair because we allowed a videographer to trial their 3D camera’s at our wedding..  http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/video/#7b6f7b66-25f1-4e1b-a1e7-7cc41a1ba54c

 

Very best and thanks again  🙂

Narelle

Cosmopolitan Bride Wedding Flowers Photoshoot

Love in Rose Petals created for Cosmpolitan Bride

We have just finished a wedding shoot with Cosmpolitan Bride.  It was such an exciting day.  Four of our florists attended the shoot and made up the bouquets as the models got dressed.

The photos will be published in the summer edition of Cosmpolitan Bride – can’t wait to see them – and to share some behind the scenes photos.

Corporate Flowers at the Sydney Hilton

This is one of my favourite floral arrangements that we did at the Sydney Hilton.  It featured a mixture of orchids – green singapore orchids with pale cimbidiums.

This martini style floral arrangement would also be a funky wedding table arrangement.

An elegant wedding at Centennial Parklands with flowers by Kavelle

One of our favourite brides, Mellissah, was recently wed to her beau, Jonathan at Paddington’s beautiful old church,  St Matthias Anglican Church. (Cnr Oxford & Moore Park Rd).

The bride chose elegant cream vendela roses for her bouquet – these are a traditional wedding rose and never fail to impress,

Their reception was held at Centennial parklands.

Kavelle Flowers created the floral theme for the wedding party and reception and the brilliant Israel Smith and his team took the wonderful photos.

Here are  some of the special moments of Mellissah & Jonathan’s day photographed by Israel Smith.

Another win for Kavelle Flowers

Nikki, our junior florist from Thailand, came third in the Interflora TAFE cup today.

Nikki first came to our studio two years ago and begged me for an opportunity to work and learn in our studio. 

I am unbelievably proud of her as she has worked really hard to learn all there is about floristry – and her wiring is second to none.

Great stuff Nikki.

Melissa also competed and, although she didn’t win a place, I still think she is a winner to have had the courage to compete – it was her first competition and she was competing against students many years her senior.

I am very very proud of both of them.

Interflora TAFE cup competition

Nikki and Melissa, two of my assistant florists, are competing in the Interflora TAFE cup competition.

Nikki is currently studying floristry at Pearsons School of Floristry while Melissa is studying at Ultimo TAFE and being mentored by the leading floral designer Christina Lewis, Head of the Ultimo TAFE School of Floristry.

I have told both girls just to enjoy the day as it is a great opportunity to meet other members of the floral community and to broaden their floristry schools.

oh, and they actually have a hard act to follow – Sarah won the TAFE Cup last year and Parthenie won the Flower Growers Competition.

Go girls!

Sydney Gift Fair – hand blown glass vases

Spent a great day at the Sydney Gift Fair at Darling Harbour yesterday.

This is where I source all my wonderful vases.  As all my customers know, I have the one of the best range of vases in Sydney – all shapes and sizes and colours.  In fact I actually think I have the largest collection as vases are my passion and I cannot resist buying anything new I see.

As you can imagine at my home in Coogee, I always have fresh flowers.  But what gives me the greatest pleasure is just one or two blooms in a bud vase. 

One of my favourites is this hand blown glass vase from Denmark.

the perfect bud vase

Wedding Flowers by Kavelle Flowers

This is one our favourite brides – but if I am honest, every bride is a favourite bride, we treasure all of them.
The bride wore a gown by Johanna Johensen – and her headpiece looked absolutely stunning.
The bride gave us some beautiful crystal rosary beads which were given to her Mum by her Mum’s sister when she became a nun. Mum wore them on her wedding day. And we wrapped the rosary beads round the bouquet handle

what a beautiful bride and perfect wedding flowers
