Calypso Flowers - Weddings

Calypso Flowers - Burwood Road, Hawthorn Victoria, 3122

This spring, the two most popular theme colours have been various shades of purple, and either pink or orange coral...

Buttonholes and Corsages
A selection of lapel corsages for the women, and buttonholes for the men. Click 'More' to see the blackberry and rose corsage. See also 'Wrist corsages' in this 'Wedding' section.

Calla Lily Bouquet
An elegant, modern bouquet of pink calla lilies surrounded by tropical leaves. The dodda vine woven through the flowers provides textural contrast with the smoothness of the blooms. The cake flowers (also illustrated) are for the same wedding.

Calla lily cake decoration
Carry the theme flower through to the decoration on the cake. We can work with your cake maker and provide fresh flower decorations.

Caroline's Bouquet
The bridesmaids' dresses were a burgundy /purple colour, and so we chose 'antique' coloured roses in mauves and pinks, as well as cream 'Advance' roses. We also put a few lisianthus flowers, unripe blackberries and lavender throughout.

Cascades of lilies and roses
These 'cascades' were used to decorate the gazebo at the Amora Riverwalk Hotel in Richmond. They are an effective way to picturesquely frame the bride and groom during the wedding ceremony, and can be moved later to the reception if required.

Coral Colours
This was a variation on the 'orange posy'. The colours were softer. Three different coloured roses were used.

Exquisite Peonies
If you are getting married in November/December, you might want to consider the exquisite peony as your signature flower. As peonies are only available during these months, your flowers would be quite different from, say, a spring or autumn wedding.

Flowers for the Reception
This is the view from the bridal table, looking out to the guests. You can see the top of the 4 tier wedding cake in the middle.

Georgina's Roses & Gerberas
Georgina chose a posy of red roses, soft terracotta Leonidas roses, orange hypericum berries, and burgundy leucadendrons for her bouquet. Her husband has a buttonhole of a rose with the berries. The original idea of a man's buttonhole was that the lady would give the man a flower plucked from her bouquet.

Heart of roses
This bride chose a fully wired bouquet of roses,with a liberal sprinkling of diamantes to catch the light during her sunset wedding. Unfortunately she had rain,hail...but very little sun! Click through to see the bridesmaids.

Jane's Wedding
Jane had always wanted David Austin roses for her wedding, but unfortunately that hot week of summer with temperatures over 40 deg. killed off the delicate flowers when they were growing. The good news is that we had a 'Plan B' and were able to find roses that gave the soft, fluffy look that Jane wanted.

Lauren's Engagement Cake
At her engagement party, Lauren was having 2 tiers of yummy chocolate cup cakes, which were going to be placed on a revolving stand,and she wanted something in keeping with the colour theme of the party to go on the top tier . I didn't see the finished display, but I hear it looked excellent !

Lavender and roses
A posy of creamy white roses (approx 40 roses here), with fragrant lavender scattered through. Perfect for a spring wedding.

Lime and latte bouquet
The theme colours of this wedding were chocolate, lime and latte, and the bride and her bridesmaids carried posies of roses in these colours.(Location - Botanic Gardens, Melbourne)

Lulu's Cake
The theme colours for this wedding were white with a touch of apricot. The bride carried white phalenopsis orchids, and the bridesmaids "Just Joey" garden roses - a creamy apricot colour. We carried the theme through to the cake.

Orange Rose Posy
If you have a favourite colour, then you can combine 2 or 3 different shades of that colour to give depth to the bouquet. Click 'More' to see on of the bridesmaids with her posy.

Peaches and Cream Bouquet
A fully-wired bouquet in delicate peach shades using heavenly-scented Sahara roses and soft-peach mini-roses, together with asparagus fern and trailing ivy. Click through to see the cutest flower girl and the bridesmaid's posy !

Phalenopsis and Roses
A petite teardrop of half-open creamy white roses, with phalenopsis orchids. Measures about 30cm in length.

Pretty little peppercorns
This bride chose to have white freesias, white roses and a few pink ones, and her bridesmaid had the opposite - mainly pink with a few white ones. The little berries are young peppercorns. In autumn they turn pink.

Romantically red cascade
Flowers featured include roses, gereberas, lilies and ivy.

Roses & berries cake top
Red and chocolate brown were the colours for Jo's wedding, and she was having a chocolate mudcake at the reception. Her bouquet featured beautiful red roses, and we made the decoration for the top of the cake with roses, and unripe blackberries, which were a perfect link between the two colours.

Roses and snowberries
This posy has several different types of white flowers, as well as snowberries. Floating above the bouquet are individually wired Singapore orchids, green with a burgundy throat. You could also have frangipani blooms in summer.

Roses and sweetpeas
White, pink and pink-rimmed roses are combined with fluffy cream coloured sweetpeas for a pretty spring posy.

Throw away bouquet
I prefer to think of them as 'throw' bouquets, rather than 'throw away' ones ! Seems a bit cruel for such sweet little things ! We usually make this posy our gift to you, unless the flower/s you have chosen are rare and expensive, or if they are, say, tulips, which are rarely imperfect, and we use them all in the bride's bouquet.

White Lotus Wedding
This is the style of arrangement that you could have at both the ceremony venue and the reception. It features lilies, gerberas, roses, molucca balm, chrysanthemums and gymea leaves. You could choose flowers and colours to carry through your theme.The container is decorated with dried lotus leaves.
