Lara's Australian wedding

I was so delighted to return from our mini break in France to this lovely email sent by Lara, a bride who recently married in Australia. I created Lara's ivory bouquet along with her three bridesmaids orange and black bouquets and her Mother's vintage feather hair piece...
 
Dear Jo,

I just wanted to say a massive thank you, for your wonderful
bouquets. They were simply stunning, the colours and textures all
worked so well.

Mine was a perfect compliment to my dress, and my bridesmaids looked
so good! My mum put her piece in her hair too, and she looked lovely.

I have attached some photos for you, of the bridesmaids with Greg and
myself, the entire bridal party, and of my mother, with her
hairpiece, both at the hairdresser and with her outfit later on.

Hope you are as impressed as I was!

Thanks again Jo, you were wonderful!
Lara

Lara you were an absolute dream to work with and I wish you and your new hubby a long happy future together... Jo x
