Halloween meets Tropical at Foxtail Barns
We love everything about Foxtail Barns and were excited to be part of this amazing wedding. From the moment you arrive you are welcomed by a long spectacular driveway adored with mature shrubs and beautiful landscaped gardens. You are then treated to a pretty lake and this all sets the style of what to expect. The venue streams masses of natural daylight through the large windows which bought all the colours to life in the designs of this vibrant and colourful wedding.
The brief was tropical flowers with interesting foliage's, full colour explosion with pumpkins and gourds. We included personal items of a moss agate crystal wand, potion bottles as favours and the brides favourite fragrant candles. It all came together perfectly.
The couples favourite florals were Gloriosa, Harlequin roses, Orchids, Strelitzia and airplants. Other tropical were added that complimented their favourite selection within the venue styling to bring it all to life.
"And it really did come to life!"
She walked down the aisle with a mass of Gloriosa embedded onto a "Moss Agate" crystal wand. Eyecatching and so unique.
The aisle was styled with pumpkin arrangements filled with their favourite florals.
Little groups of pumpkins and gourds sat pretty at the base with fresh moss (smelt amazing and lush) and mixed autumnal leaves scattered along the aisle.
Everything looked so natural, even the civil ceremony table had little pumpkins and foliage's displayed.
The great decision made by this couple was to use our FULL services allowing us to empty the civil ceremony room and reset-up all the displays in the main wedding room. They has double usage of the displays and added greater impact for the rest of the day.
So much detail and it reflected the couples personalities.
If you are overwhelmed by the decisions of what to include when planning your day don't worry.
We are here to guide you, offer suggestions and more importantly... with our experience, if something just won't look right, we are honest enough to say.
During the planning meetings we spoke about the table plan sign being framed and hung. That was it! We knew exactly the design that was needed for this and it worked out exactly as planned.
Our large stand displayed the signage and then a large floral display with masses of pumpkins looking amazing at the base.
Pumpkin arrangements were placed around the venue and even the couples quirky teapot looked great next to the guest book.
No detail was spared on the guest tables. We used the stands of our living trees and adapted them with a large tropical explosion of flowers and foliage. Chinese lanterns, fresh moss and twinkles went up the stem of the tree. It looked alive.
The tables were draped with our dark green runners and small mini pumpkins and floral clusters.
Fragrant candles and potion bottles were at each guest setting and even each place setting was finished with the brides favourite flower, a "Gloriosa".
The images really does not give justice to the amount of detail here. The base of the head table was filled with the aisle arrangements from the civil room and then more pumpkins were added. Foliage's and moss connected them all together and made it look as though nature had just happened to arrived indoors and grown there.
The top of the table was equally as impressive. Long runners dressed with low levels vases and florals, candles, lights and mini gourds was all linked together with fresh foliage's.
So natural, fresh and alive. It truly was the colours of the season.
"Well where do I start.... From the consultation stages Jo and Louise were very helpful with creative ideas for our wedding day. We were aiming for a autumn/Halloween wedding theme including a lot of pumpkins and including tropical themed flowers.
We had our consultation and then shortly after the consultation we received our quote which was perfect. During the time from booking to our wedding day we made a few amendments which were amended and sent back to us via email. Closer to the wedding date we had our final consultation which we finalized numbers and confirmed locations of where certain items were going to be located. Throughout the planning process the 'Wedding Flowers and Styling' team made everything so easy to plan........" (further details can be found on our google review)
