“Florals that feel a touch wild and a little unt “Florals that feel a touch wild and a little untamed…” is how @cassandra_the_florist describes her style – and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves! ⁠ ⁠ While this particular bouquet has a moody, romantic feel, Cassandra creates her designs in the colour palette that is most “you”: from pops of bold colours to soft pastel hues to dark passion! She’s here to help couples mark the occasion with her bespoke floral creations. ⁠ ⁠ The flowers she uses aren’t bleached or chemically preserved, and without floral foam in an effort to minimise her environmental impact. Want to know more about her sustainability process?

I am an only child, and sharing this moment together was very special for both of us,” shared @emmma_camelia.⁠ ⁠ We’ll never stop sharing the beautiful.

“You have to include this…”⁠ ⁠ Actually? “You have to include this…”⁠ ⁠ Actually? You don’t.⁠ ⁠ There are so many “shoulds” in wedding planning. You should wear white. You should have a wedding party. You should walk down the aisle to a certain song. You should toss your bouquet.⁠ ⁠ But none of that matters unless it matters to you.⁠ ⁠ Tradition can be beautiful, but only when it feels right. If something feels out of place or doesn’t reflect your relationship, it’s okay to leave it out.⁠ And if it does? Embrace it fully.⁠ ⁠ You get to shape this day around what feels good for you. Whether that’s a two-person ceremony in the forest or a drag brunch with dance breaks, your love is valid. And your wedding should feel like it belongs to you!⁠ ⁠ If you’re feeling the weight of “you have to,” take this as your permission to let it (and the word "should") go. Your wedding, your way. Always.⁠ ⁠ [Image description: ⁠a blue background with text that reads: "Forget the shoulds".]⁠ ⁠ #PolkaDotWedding #FeelGoodWeddings #AustralianWeddings #AustralianWedding #WeddingStory #WeddingStories #WeddingMemories #WeddingInspiration #WeddingInspo #RealWedding⁠
