A Plum and Apricot Sydney Wedding in Flowers
Deep plum, soft apricot, ivory and green ran through this wedding from the church aisle to the dinner tables. The flowers were sculptural and full of colour, but never crowded.

From the church aisle to dinner
The flower plan for this wedding was built around strong colour and clean shapes. Calla lilies and anthuriums gave the arrangements a sculptural edge, parrot tulips added movement, and trailing amaranthus softened the heavier plum and burgundy tones.
We kept the church flowers low along the aisle rather than filling the space with tall arrangements. At the reception, the guest tables stayed simple with bud vases and candles, while the bridal table carried most of the floral weight.
That balance mattered. Not every table needed to be a centrepiece. Giving the larger arrangement one clear place to shine made the whole room feel more considered.
01 · Ceremony
Flowers that worked with the church
The aisle arrangements sat close to the pews and brought the colour palette into the ceremony without narrowing the walkway or interrupting the view to the front.
02 · Guest tables
Small flowers, plenty of candlelight
Instead of one large centrepiece on every table, we used individual stems in bud vases with thin candles and pillar candles. It gave the tables colour and warmth while leaving space for glasses, plates and conversation.
03 · Bridal table
The main floral moment
The bridal table was where we went fuller. A low runner stretched across the front with roses, calla lilies, anthuriums and trailing amaranthus, keeping the arrangement generous without hiding the people behind it.

04 · Wedding day
Made in Miranda, then packed for the day
We prepared the flowers at our Westfield Miranda studio, then packed each part of the wedding separately so the ceremony flowers, table pieces and larger arrangements could be placed efficiently on arrival.
A note from the florist
You do not need flowers everywhere
One of the things we liked most about this wedding was the contrast between the simple guest tables and the fuller bridal table. If every surface gets the same amount of flowers, the room can lose its focal point. Sometimes a few well-placed stems and good candlelight do more than another oversized arrangement.
