Ali looked beautiful and despite the rain and heavy skies, it was a truly memorable day.
My friend Michele did a magnificent job with all of the flowers.The bridal bouquet of roses and peonies was a perfect match with the dress - soft and frilly.
The girls wore crowns of camelia leaves and Geraldton wax flowers(Chamelaucium).
This photo was taken after we had all been rained on so no perfect hairdo's here!
(If only someone had moved that stray leaf....).
The bride and groom...( and the Bridge and the Opera House!)
Now it's onto to the job of packing- removalists are arriving first thing Monday morning...but first some sleep.
so beautiful!!! great photos - looks like a wonderful day!

I am glad that it all went well - the dresses you made look fantastic!! You all look fantastic!
I am just back from London and you are going to have a ball! There were so many Christmas activities going on - ice rinks at famous places, fun in Hyde Park....oh and one place I recommend for a wander in London - Borough Market - the most amazing food market!! It's open friday pm, Saturday and Sunday morning. Windsor will be a great place to be - far enough away from all the crush and crowds but in really easy access to it all! Hope the packers are good and don't break anything!!

OMG. All that swearing at the wedding dress was so worth it. That is one of the most beautiful looking weddings I have seen. Gorgeous.
Happy moving. Enjoy your new home, but don't forget us down here, will you?

What lovely photos! I've just heard you are moving to the UK so I'm very excited - I can't wait to see what the Small People make of London! Maybe I'll even get the chance to meet you one day - my eldest daughter is still so inspired by your style of art and the lovely supplies you sent her! Good luck with the move. Lucy x

I love the wedding dress. All those pretty ruffles! And I love the flower girl dresses and the flowers and the little coronets. Even the grey clouds are lovely as they complement the pink so well.
