Well, now I can admit that nothing really gets a florist on the edge of her seat besides Frangipani! Well, I'm not sure I can say the same for North Island florists, but down here in the south where its too cold for them to grow , we have a very anxious wait for the tender, fragile little blooms to arrive on a courier from the north - a sleepless night and praying the fragile stickers on the box actually mean something to the courier.......
.....and then relief!! The parcel arrives and the fragrant beauties are in prestine condition and aching to be made into something devine!!!
And on the day............................. Vanessa and her frangipani bouquet
Each bloom is indivdually wired to form the bouquet, combined with yellow palm and aspidistra leaves for a tropical appeal and we folded some leaves and placed around the base for support.
A pearl detail was placed in the centre of each bloom to reflect the style of Vanessa's gown.
The boys buttonholes complimented Vanessa's bouquet and were finished with ribbon and pearl pins.
And finally... a nice word from Vanessa -
"I just wanted to thankyou for the amazing job you did on my bouquet of frangipanis, I was so pleased it was exactly what I wanted!! thanks again for everything, Vanessa and Joseph"
