Roses are a durable and sturdy flower and last fairly well out of water, if constructed the right way.  This is why we have chosen the clustered hand tied bouquet, it supports the roses and petals when the begin to dehydrate. If you recut the stems at your reception and place your bouquet in water, you flowers will most definately last longer.  Your bouquet will look fabulous for all your photos, considering you don't expose them to heat or the sun.

Bouquets With Bling has been designed specifically for roses but we can substitute for another flower if you had another type in mind.  The only flowers that don't suit the style are bigger flowers like lillies, most tropicals, large headed natives like protea and banksias and other big headed flowers.  The Swarovski Crystal clusters will be lost in amongst these type of flowers .

This is by far the most popular style of bouquet for weddings.  The roses are tightly brought together by their natural stems to create a rounded arrangement.  This means the crystals can be placed easily and safely amongst the blooms for maximum effect.  The flowers are then surrounded by glossy camellia leaves at the base of the bouquet to frame the flowers and create a nice border. Generally it features the same blooms in the same colour to creat a design that goes with most styles of gowns.

Your wedding flowers arrived packaged in a special white wedding box designed for flowers.  Your bouquets will be wrapped delicately in tissue paper to protect the petals etc.

Every natural stem bouquet will be wrapped in a plastic water bag so that it is drinking right up until it is needed for photos.

Its best to leave the bouquets in the box until they are needed and to not handle them before you have to.

Buttonholes, Corsages and Hair flowers will be in a corsage container which can be placed in the Crisper section of a fridge to keep them cool.  The other section your fridge is too cold and may freeze your flowers.

An air conditioned room is best to keep your flowers, or if your accomodation has a cool room specially designed for flowers fruit and vegetables this will also be ok.

At every opportunity, I will personally deliver your flowers to you on your special day.  There is nothing better than seeing a happy bride!

Mother nature is a tricky woman!!  Generally in the winter months if there is a lot of frosty conditions, Roses can suffer and not produce as much as other seasons.  So from about July to August the availability is reduced, so supplies are limited.  This just means we should get your order well in advance to allow for growers to cut appropriate quantities.  If there is ever a shortage, you will be notified well in advance.

We have chosen the most popular colours of roses for weddings. The photos on the website are shown as closely to the actual colour as possible.  If you are unsure, we can send ribbon samples with your wedding Quote/Order so you can have a better idea of the colours used on the bouquets.  If you were wearing an antique Ivory dress, then the Pearl selection would be best.  Or for your bridesmaids, if they are wearing a mint green, the the Quartz selection could be a nice choice to add a bit of soft colour.

I am happy to organise all your wedding flowers via email and even by phone.

In fact I have done alot of weddings for Brides living overseas or interstate and they find it easy and pain free to do everything online.

I usually email images of the crystals and pearls and if you can post a sample of the fabric we can use this as a match when ordering the flowers and ribbon.

Buttonholes are traditionally worn by the groom, his groomsmen and the father of the Bride & Groom.  But some people like a special guest or an official member of the reception like the MC may wear a similar buttonhole to the wedding party.  Normally, the buttonhole matches the choice of flowers in the brides bouquet and of course the rose is the most popular choice for men.

Corsages are generally worn by the Mothers of the Bride and the Groom.  Although it is important to match the type of flower in the Brides bouquet with the flower in the corsages, the colour should also compliment the wearers dress or gown.  For our corsages we use spray roses which are tiny roses.  The colours of these spray roses are limited, you can choose from white, champagne, pale pink, hot pink, yellow and cream.  We find that if in doubt, choose a neutral colour like cream or white and this should compliment most dresses and gowns.  Also you can choose from a wrist corsage or a dress corsage.

Ideally, you should not dismiss the more visible items on the day.  Some brides will pay whatever it costs for the perfect look.  Just keep in mind that the price should reflect the quality of the bouquet, and that the flowers will be a focal point in many of the photos, it pays to consider your choice carefully.  Check out our wedding packages and special deals!
