It was a lovely afternoon for a garden tea party the day Duncan made Leanne his wife in a ceremony and reception on their country property. They each asked their sibling to be their respective attendants, and invited 50 guests to be part of their backyard wedding on their 10th anniversary. Special! //// Leanne’s father passed away two and a half years ago, and it was really important to Leanne to include him in her day in some special way. So she wrote for him a poem to incorporate into the ceremony. Beautifully, Leanne has shared her poem with us,…

Ranunculus, astilbe, hyacinth, sweet peas, tulips, anenomes, andromeda, roses and Dusty Miller make up this intoxicating concoction of springtime lavender goodness I just can’t get enough of. This is the very picture of the latest trend in wedding flowers – unstructured bouquet arrangement of pretty complementary pastels with deep colours and a touch of white in a big, beautiful rose of perfection. Hallelujah! Thank you, Willow Bud, for this feast my eyes will be sustained by for quite some time. //// Images by Artography
