Ice-cream sundae

Sometimes it can be difficult to show restraint when it comes to creativity, especially when given the opportunity to go wild. Fun loving couple, Emily & Dan, really wanted to go all out on multi-coloured flowers. As a lover of colour myself  (yes I do have a magenta pink living room) that should be easy? Well theoretically yes, you could just go crazy and buy a whole mish-mash of everything but the end result might not be so pretty. In order to reach the thrown together look there had to be more thought - think about it from a fashion sense; effortless chic is oh so much harder to achieve than the polished designer top-to-toe look.

The brief included coral pink and purple, not the most conventional colour combination - but hey I like a challenge! Having been through the whole wedding planning process with Emily and Dan I knew that at the day after BBQ they would be having an ice-cream cart, so BANG there was my inspiration - ice cream colours!

Buying flowers online can be difficult, especially when it came to selecting something to co-ordinate with coral pink. Unfortunatley the beautiful coral peonies that I got earlier in the year were no longer in season. Instead we opted for Gerberas which come in a fantastic range of colours. Now to pick the correct one, from a computer screen to match a dress that I had never seen...tricky, but somehow it worked (okay so maybe that was just a little bit lucky)
