A beautifully moody autumn elopement for Val & Zac.
Every stem grown in the Fleuris orchard garden. End-of-September burgundy dahlias, rich foliage and touches of lavender and violet came together for this intimate forest elopement, designed entirely with what was growing in the garden at the time.
I loved seeing how the petite bouquet played against the black gown and veil, deep green suit and colours of the surrounding forest. A beautiful example of how a couple’s individual vision can be expressed entirely through locally grown, seasonal flowers.
