Riz and Kat’s gorgeous, colourful wedding had two important influences when it came to the flowers. One was the groom’s heritage, and for this we created - in place of a traditional four-pillar mandap - an extended arch for the couple’s nikah ceremony, adorned with late summer flowers in beautiful bold shades of red, hot pink and bold orange, with garlands of marigolds.
The second vital factor, in memory of Kat’s beloved grandmother, was the use of freesia in the bridal bouquets and buttonholes. I received a note of thanks after the ceremony that was just so gratifying, knowing that I had helped the family feel that this much loved and missed lady was represented at their happy day.
The arch remained in place for the reception, at which point we added generously filled footed bowls to the round guest tables, plus candles in colourful votives.
