Mad for a Moroccan Wedding

As a florist and non conformist, it's sometimes hard to get excited about weddings as many follow the same formula. Suppressing an eye roll is the hardest thing ever FYI.  But you can strike it lucky with a bride who is artsy or different and wants something out of the ordinary or are totally in love with a partic concept or theme. They get you excited. Not only are they happy for you to actually do your job without micro managing it, but they hijack you on their journey of colour and ideas and it's hard not to get swept all up their vision and joy. Apart from the groom's name which makes me want to involuntarily scream expletives loudly to whoever will listen (history's a bitch), Jade and Tobias's Moroccan Mission Beach wedding is absolutely beautiful.

Sticking with a classic white and green theme, the hero flower is King White protea used solitarily in the bridesmaids bouquet and table arrangements. Such a striking statement for a beautiful native. The bridal bouquet features two protea varieties in ivory shades. Just gorgeous. This is the most stylish and effective way I've seen natives used in a long while. The moroccan chairs used for the service through to flickering lanterns all with the backdrop of swaying palms and the pacific ocean lapping the shore make it so very magical. It's weddings like this that make me jealous and even gives me the inclination to consider having one maybe...eventually...to a groom with a different name... hopefully. #scarredforlife
