Hello Aussie!

I saw this over at Decor 8 - it's by the fabulous stylist Shannon Fricke who is also an Aussie like me. It is one fabulous shot (no bias at all), the styling here is just perfect. It did also remind me that my flowers are still chargrilled in the garden from all the scorching sun and there isnt a decent flower in sight. Flower markets it is for me this Saturday. Really, really early to get the pick of them! Luke, pack your bags, we're off to the markets for a 5am arrival! Kellie xx

The meaning of flowers...

Its a little bit fuzzy although when you click it, it should make it much clearer for you to read. I adored reading the meaning of various flowers. I laughed when hydrangea said perseverance as that is definitely not one of my strengths! 

Ps. Seems I cant get the image to become bigger.... Hmmmm. Perhaps go visit the source. Its very sweet.

11 months to go...

Fancy peonies being over for another year. How very sad... My northern hemisphere buddies, please post lots and lots of the darlings when they are blooming. I will then look forward to when I can have them in my home again! I actually asked about growing them and I was told, the chances of them flowering in your location are about one in one million. Not good odds I decided and thought the flower markets were a much easier and stress free option.

Flowers and table arrangement for the wedding.

Sour? No way it's Friday!

Something different for a Friday (well in Australia anyway). Count down for the weekend... Yipeeeee!

R.I.P Flowers in Garden

Well it's official. The Sydney sun has absolutely toasted almost every flower growing in my garden. The only thing that is still going strong are my lovely petunias who can't get enough of it. Well the others are burnt to a crisp. I thought I would share with you what I salvaged for my little entry way. The splashes of colour I do like. Kellie xx

A magical place...

I have seen this on a number of different wedding blogs and I have to say, I think this is the most beautiful use of flowers I have ever seen at a wedding shoot. I adore the elegance, magnitude of colour and the endless charm used throughout. The detail here is incredible. You could look for hours and still find new beautiful things to discover. Magical.

Inspiration for Tim Tam

I promised one of my favourite friends, Tamara I would style her wedding. Of course, this would be an absolute pleasure. I came home and couldn't resist sourcing a gorgeous wedding for fabulous inspiration. Tim Tam, this one is for you - you likey!? xx
