So I was so happy to hear of Black Tie 4 Breast Cancer and excited to have the chance to contribute to their fundraising dinner. BT4BC works with the Prince of Wales Hospital and raises funds to benefit breast cancer patients at the hospital, as well as the development of the hospital’s Cancer Centre. BT4BC is run by a group of incredible young women, and (as is often the case when strong, determined and talented chickies band together) the event has been an amazing success. In the two years it has been held, the event has grown incredibly, and raised over $250,000! So I was very excited to jump onboard and help them out with this year’s event.

Butterfly Philosophy donated the table centrepieces for the 68 (!!) table event at The Westin’s Ballroom….we sure got a work out ferrying stuff from one side of the ballroom to the other! Being in support of a breast cancer charity, it was only natural to turn to all things pink! So I got pretty pink things….

…. furry pink things….

…. spikey pink things….

and created a range of centrepieces fitting for the event’s Secret Garden theme. A few quick snaps while we were setting up….

Thank you Kelly, Jenny & Sarah for all your hard work on Saturday in making everything look so pretty and perfect. I would be buried under a mountain of pink dahlias if not for you guys! A shot of us all midway through setup

Hope a great night was had by all and lots of $$$$$ raised! To learn more about BT4BC and see how you can help support this awesome event, visit their website here! xx

Jen’s always had amazing taste and style so I wasn’t surprised to hear of some of their wedding details – a stunning Henry Roth gown, Zest at Point Piper for the reception, a sexy boat for a spin around the harbour….

Naturally we wanted the flowers to be just as amazing, so we loaded up on spring-time favourites peonies and david austin roses to create these ultra-feminine fluffy bouquets.

Even the weather cooperated and gave Jen and Andrew one stunning sunshiney day!

Congratulations again Jen & Andrew and thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

This wedding had just four tables and less than 30 guests. But it involved an insane number of roses! Hundreds of white roses were used to create these beautiful martini glass centerpieces. Tulips and jonquils played a supporting role in smaller arrangements.

I must admit that white rose weddings aren’t usually my style, but looking at the finished product you can’t help but fall in love with these elegant centrepieces. I loved them!

Thank you Diandra Dimic Photography for sharing these images with me and Jen from Bells and Whistles Events for asking me to be a part of this beautiful wedding!

Daisy’s bouquet was made up of yellow roses with small clusters of daisies sprinkled throughout. Not many people get the chance to include a flower namesake in their bouquet! Daisy was a stunning bride and makeup extraordinaire Amy Chan was on hand to add to the glamour!

I didn’t get the pleasure of meeting Ka Wai before the wedding, so I was excited to meet Daisy’s man-to-be when I got to the church. Daisy had told me repeatedly that he was a really fun-loving guy, and even requested that the buttonholes be something fun and lively to match his personality.

So actually, I shouldn’t have been surprised when I walked into the church and saw this:

Dancing groomsmen! It made me giggle to see them refining their moves and hearing the theme from Pink Panther being played in church.

Daisy and Ka Wai’s reception took place at the ah-mazing Zest at Point Piper, and even better, the rain finally stopped and the sun had come out! After a week of horrible weather, it was so nice to see the warm sunlight streaming through the windows as I setup the venue. Their yellow and white theme added to the sunniness of the day!

With the help of creative genius Steph from Stelloberry Designs, we put together this seating chart and photoboard that I just loved to bits!

I’m assuming from this picture below, a pretty good time was had by all?

Congratulations again Daisy and Ka Wai, and thank you for letting me be a part of your special day! Thank you also to Alphonsus and Grace from 3.2.1 Photography for these wonderful images!

Jenn wanted soft pastel colours for her bridal bouquet so we used roses, stock, blushing bride, succulents, and peris japonica to create the perfect look for her.

The same colour theme was used for the table centerpieces, incorporating candles.

I often get brides wanting candles for daytime receptions, but worry if it will look weird or out of place. I say go for it! Candles always create great atmosphere and are magical and pretty at any time of the day. Use whenever and wherever you wish!

In typical Spring-fashion, it had been a week of relentless rain, still sprinkling as I loaded up my car for the morning’s delivery. Luckily the threatening clouds dissipated, and I couldn’t help but smile when I saw sunshine peeking through the clouds as I slipped away just before the ceremony started. Jenn and Leon got the outdoor waterside wedding they wanted and I couldn’t have been happier for them.

Thank you Jenn and Leon for letting me be a part of your gorgeous day!
