Flowers are one of your few opportunities to have something affordable, yet truly custom-made; something

gorgeous that communicates the essence of your personality to the world.

However, you will need to explore the right style of floristry to complement your individuality. Within these pages you will find the perfect look for you, courtesy of

Australia’s abundant floral design talent.

Welcome to Tesselaar’s first edition of Fleuresse: The Wedding Flowers Style Guide 2015!

Most of the bridal flowers celebrated in this free magazine were selected from a wide pool of Australia’s most talented working wedding florists who submitted

their images into our famous annual “Top Gun” Wedding Flowers Competitions.

We aim to make your wedding flower decisions easier as we bring you this visual feast of blooms by season,

Australia’s Best Florists Blossom In Tesselaar’s Wedding Flower Contest

In the autumn of 2011 when we started a competition for Australian wedding florists, everyone at Tesselaars agreed it was a cool idea - but nobody expected what happened next.

We put it out there and, from day one, it went completely gangbusters. The florists of Australia took to the contest with massive enthusiasm, to win some cool prizes like iPads and as a way to showcase their world-class floral design work to each other and to potential customers – Australian brides-to-be.

Since successfully running a second time in the spring of 2011, the Tesselaars “Top Gun” Wedding Flowers Competition has run annually each spring, organically growing bigger every year until it is now the biggest wedding floristry competition in the world.

The idea is wedding florists send in photographs of their real floral design work which we then promote to our social media community and to targeted Internet users who have identified themselves as brides-to-be or interested in bridal flowers. Each competition attracts about half a million unique viewers and the crème de la crème of Australian wedding flower design professionals as entrants.

The caliber of entrants into the contest means we have collated an unsurpassed collection of contemporary Australian wedding floristry. In line with our commitment to promoting Aussie florists, we have created this digital magazine featuring some amazing florals submitted over half a decade.

top gunsCurated and designed by respected Adelaide wedding florist, Kyla Helgeson, herself a former competition finalist, this magazine leverages the photographs submitted to the Top Gun contest to take you on a floral journey through popular trends, colours and seasonal options.

These are not just any old wedding flowers. This is a wedding floral style guide that has great credibility due to its input from the very top rung of Australian wedding floral designers. There just isn’t another resource like it.

Enjoy!

“Each competition attracts about half a million unique viewers and the crème de la crème of Australian wedding flower design professionals as entrants.”

Five competitions and thousands of entries later, Tesselaars have promoted Australia’s most dazzling wedding floristry to hundreds of thousands of Australian brides-to-be (and flower lovers in general) via Facebook, Google & other channels.

We’ve taken some stand out moments from these five competitions as a launch pad to inspire your imagination.

“Over the course of the last 4 years, the competition has

become the most exciting, inclusive and fabulous event

in the Australian wedding floristry calendar.”

A wonderful side-effect of the competition is that it has helped to foster a lively and supportive community of Australian florists and flower lovers around the country, giving everybody involved a chance to enjoy the many colours and creations of floral design.

For wedding florists entering the competition the experience has been fun, exciting and rewarding. Some florists have given accounts of staying up through the night to watch the voting, others kept religiously checking the Tesselaars Facebook page every few hours to see and count the votes.

“We enjoyed looking at all the wonderful talent of the many florists that entered, and we also got a buzz out of seeing some of our bouquets on the Facebook page. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to show-case some of our work.”

-- Denise’s Flower Studio - Linda Lindsay

absolutely fabulous“ ”“I love flowers! Showcasing some of our

work is a big deal to a small, relatively new business. Being selected as a finalist was a very big highlight for 2014”.

-- Stacey Lambert, Poppy Lane Flowers By Design

“I was very excited to be named finalist in the competition as being a one woman small business, I do not have budgets for marketing and PR, so being given such exposure in a free competition was absolutely fabulous. What really felt great was the lovely comments to accompany the entry from peers in the industry.”

-- Katharina Martin, Flower Nation

“2014 was the first year I entered and surprisingly I was nominated as a finalist in the flowers to carry category. I shared the facebook post with my clients, friends and family and we checked it every day to watch the votes racking up. The winner took the lead on the first day and although I closed in towards the end, I didn’t quite get enough votes to win! Considering the large number of entries I was very happy with second place...”

--Sara Meredith, Sara Meredith Designer Florist

“ ”“The bride requested wild and rustic but with bright vibrant colours. I loved the bright colours and the long flowing ribbons we used for this bouquet. The part about the day I loved the most was the photographer catching this picture with a cow in the background which epitomized the rustic country feel of all the flowers including the bridal bouquet for the whole day. If I could do a bouquet like this every week I would be in heaven. I love the organic flow and free spirit of it!”

If you desire a relaxed look for your ceremony and reception venue, then the “Rustic Vintage” style could well be perfect for your wedding. So what next?

Hit the second hand shops! Vintage shopping is a great place to start, try and find old suitcases, vintage glasses, vases, wooden crates, boxes, tins, buckets and even tea cups. Ask family and friends to help by collecting and recycling jam jars. Don’t have time to go hunting? Event stylists and florists may have similar pieces that you can hire to create this look.

Once all the rustic vintage items have been sourced then just add beautiful, soft feminine and romantic blooms. Perfect examples from the above images include David Austin roses, peonies, ranunculi, poppies, hyacinth, astilbe, tuber roses, lavender, andromeda, daisies, sweet peas, gypsophila, freesias, scabiosa pods, and natural native foliage.

Bouquets are relaxed and created with that ‘just picked from the garden’ look. Remember accents such as hessian, twine, grosgrain ribbon, lace and heirloom brooches to embellish and you are well on your way to creating the Rustic Vintage Style.

“Modern Glamour” is a look that will definitely leave an impression on all who attend your wedding. Best suited to the bride who loves bling; it is big, beautiful and will certainly leave guests with their jaws on the floor!

For the bridal party, embellishments can be added to bouquets, diamantes can be wrapped around the stems or individual crystals scattered throughout the blooms. Natural stems are wrapped in thick luxurious satin or organza ribbons.

In the reception space, this look is defined by tables adorned with huge floral arrangements, dripping crystals, diamantes, chandeliers, mirror glass and lots and lots of candles.

Not for the DIY bride or the bride on a budget. Modern Glamour on a large scale is best left to the professionals, a wedding planner, stylist and experienced florist. Many tireless hours planning and creating are needed for this look and also many, many stems of flowers!

Its signature floral style is flowers on mass: orchids, roses, tulips, peonies, calla lilies, hydrangea, carnations, gladioli, luscious berries, foliage and carpet runners of rose petals.

A style that will really leave an impression!

Elegance and old-world charm collide in the “Country French” inspired wedding style. An intimate garden setting with cottage flowers and plants is the ideal place for the ceremony.

Beautiful linens, vintage lace and thick opulent ribbons create a luxurious style. Vessels are more refined than in the “Rustic Vintage” style, with blue and white ceramics, classic urns, hand-painted china and crystal cut glass vases. Mix and match vessels allow for relaxed styling.

Country style bouquets are relaxed and informal, with many textures and colours coming into play. A bit more refined than the ‘just picked look’ of Rustic Vintage styling, blooms have been carefully chosen and arranged to give that effortless, elegant look that is a little more polished.

Bountiful, pretty, feminine blooms in a rich colour palette of purples and plums teamed with classic French white. Romantic feminine florals for Country French styling include hydrangea, David Austin and garden roses, lilac, ranunculi, Queen Anne’s lace, blushing bride, jonquils and silver suede.

Farmhouse or barn weddings with rolling hills and vineyards set the scene for your guests to sit back with and glass of French champagne and take in the view. Instead of a traditional wedding cake, try cheese wheels as a quirky, alternative way to end the meal (teamed perfectly with a glass of wine).

For the free-spirited bride, you can’t go past the “Bohemian” style. It is bright, colourful, fun, artistic and the best part is: there are no rules! With no rules to conform to, you and your floral stylist have complete freedom to create a look that is unique and memorable.

Unusual, free form blooms would be a great choice for the Bohemian style, like the bright yellow of billy button balls, succulents or giant lotus pods and bright coral peonies. Snapdragons, poppies and dahlias in their array of fabulous shapes and sizes add a pop of colour. Textured accent flowers and branches add interest.

Bespoke handmade flower headpieces made with fresh textured blooms and foliage are big in the Bohemian style. Perhaps a vintage wedding dress from the 60’s or 70’s teamed with a bright flower crown to dazzle.

Elements can include the unconventional and up-cycled eclectic or vintage pieces. Brightly labelled tin cans and bottles are quirky and interesting. Free flowing floral table-runners are a great choice for receptions. But unlike “Rustic Vintage” florals, the look is less refined and makes more of a bold statement.

An eternally popular wedding floral style, “Classic Clean” inspired floral design is feminine, traditional and romantic. Colours are often pastel, with whites, ivories, pinks, purples, apricots and lemons, but they can also be bold with reds, oranges and yellows.

Beautifully formed, round domes for the bridal posies, finished elegantly and simply with satin, organza or grosgrain ribbon. Round, full or hedge guest table centrepieces signify this look for the perfect “Princess Bride”.

Flower girls are too cute with rose pomander floral balls. Bridesmaids can choose classic wrist corsages, which are great for the budget!

Buttonholes are kept simple and clean too, just a singular, perfect rose bloom finished with lush green or soft silver foliage. All the classic blooms are here, roses, David Austin roses, lisianthus, freesias, peonies, hydrangea and ranunculi. Classic Clean inspired floral design is classic, simple design - a style that will never go out of fashion.

A huge trend at the moment is lush, green foliage wielded en masse as hanging features or table runners. Berries, pods, ferns, vines and succulents just to name a few. This organic mix of colours and textures combines to create a look that is inspired by nature, bringing a little bit of outdoors into the indoor reception space.

There is so much variety in foliage now that it has become the focus of many arrangements instead of the filler. From soft silver suedes, to rough prickly sea holly - native foliage too - the combinations can create quite an interesting palette. Succulents themselves come in so many interesting shapes and sizes, a bouquet combination of those mixed with foliage and maybe just a few blooms is a great choice for the bride who wants something a little different.

Succulents and foliage are perfect for the men who shy away from wearing a flower on the big day. “Wild Textured” inspired florals are a great neutral look for the bride and groom who want to move away from the traditional feminine romantic blooms.

Add twine, hessian and timber for a rustic organic look that is just divine!

When choosing your wedding flowers you do first have to consult with the lady who knows it all, Mother Nature. She will decide whether your dream wedding blooms are available at the time of your wedding. Floral supply has come a long way over the years and many blooms are able to be imported from overseas and sent to every corner of Australia, arriving in water, fresh and in beautiful condition. Keeping Australian seasons in mind, here is a quick reference of your favourite wedding blooms and when they are in season.

Wedding flowers can be created in any colour of the rainbow. For many brides, white still is a hugely popular wedding flower choice, especially for the bridal bouquet, as it is classic, timeless and elegant. The colour palette for the wedding usually starts with the choice of bridesmaids dresses and then this plays an important role when choosing blooms to either complement or contrast with the dress colour. Pinks, apricots and purples, in all their range of hues from soft pastels to bright hot tones continue to be a great option for wedding floral blooms with so many gorgeous varieties in those colour examples to choose from.

Bridal bouquets come in an array of designs, flower varieties, sizes, shapes, colours and finishes. Depending on the personality of the bride and groom and wedding style, there is a bouquet to suit everyone’s taste. Here are just a few of the most popular and fabulous bridal bouquets for inspiration……

Modern Textured Bouquets

For the bride who wants something a little different, a little edgy, a modern textured bouquet would fit this brief. These bouquets are only limited by imagination. Amazingly colourful or soft muted tones, these bouquets include everything: succulents, flowers, foliage and even edibles such as herbs or artichoke can be used in amazing combinations. These ‘wow factor’ creations will definitely leave your guests with something to remember and talk about!

garden posy bouquetsThe Garden Posy Bouquet

This has to be the most popular look at the moment. Brides are loving relaxed, unstructured bouquets that give the sense of being just picked from the garden.

Beautiful seasonal blooms are often used: David Austin roses, dahlias, tulips, sweet peas, peonies, ranunculi, jonquils, paper daisies to name just a few. Foliage is often lush, textured and whimsical, like wheat, natives, amaranthus and ivy. They can be varied in size, from small petite posies to overflowing wild, cascading bouquets. Sometimes full of blooms, others with only a few blooms but more foliage. Finishes can include twine, hessian, lace and thick, luxurious ribbons. A gorgeous natural look perfect for a pretty garden setting or rustic vineyard.

classic round bouquetsThe Classic Round Bouquet

The classic round posy bouquet is timeless and loved by brides. It is simple, clean and elegant in its styling.

Suitable to complement any style of gown, it looks fantastic when carried by the bridal party. All your beautiful classic blooms are here: large-head, elegant roses, spray roses, freesias, lisianthus, carnations, gypsophila, sweet peas, tulips, hyacinth and gardenias and orchids. The foliage can be green: camellia or ivy berry or gorgeous soft silver suede foliage.

Traditionally, classic round bouquets use a single variety of flowers like roses or only a few mixed varieties framed with foliage, but a modern take on the design includes grouping individual varieties together to create a bouquet that is pleasing and interesting to the eye. The colour palette can vary from elegant white to soft pastels to bright tonal hues, with stems often bound in satin ribbon and secured with classic pearl pins.

buttonholes

Gone are the days of the traditional white rose buttonhole secured with a pearl pin. These days, buttonholes are little works of art. Skilfully crafted by wedding florists and made from an array of flowers, foliage and textures, think billy-balls, berries, succulents and natives. Finishes include rustic twine or gorgeous, elegant ribbons. Pops of colour are also popular for buttonholes. Magnetic buttonholes are perfect for the guys on the day - so easy to attach. Traditionally, they are worn on the left lapel but if you want to try something different why not opt for a bow-tie buttonhole, like this example from Bodaflora Designs.

Ceremony florals really set the scene and have come such a long way in recent times. More than just a simple scatter of rose petals, some brides choose to go all out and create a truly magical setting in which to wed.

Popular floral designs for ceremonies include: aisle flowers, feature arrangements, signing-table flowers and huge statement pieces like floral arches and wreath hearts. When these large installations are adorned with garden blooms and cascading foliage, they become a real hero piece and focal point for the ceremony.

Many other elements can also be adorned with florals for the wedding ceremony, such as a garden swing, perfect for bride and groom photographs after saying “I do”. A direction sign, for guests to find the ceremony location, can be decorated with florals and even a ladder can be can be transformed into a pretty floral feature.

wow your guests!

The use of florals for a reception space can really transform a room. They can take a space from being quite plain to something about which, upon entering, guests will stop and think “wow”. They give a room a sense of style, warmth and purpose; their colour and pretty softness can really set the scene for the love and celebrations to come.

The choices with wedding reception florals are limitless. They can utilise any flower variety and colour - and the scope of possible designs is just as huge. Most commonly, guest tables, the bridal table, the wedding cake and perhaps the entrance or gift table have flowers as a feature.

47 48

wow your guests!

Guest tables can feature anything from a small posy of flowers in a simple vase or jar, to huge, tall floral spheres or long floral hedges that extend the length of the table and incorporate many blooms.

A popular current design trend takes the luxury one step further: hanging floral installations, which are breathtaking in their creation and abundance of flowers and foliages.

floral trends

Just like with fashion, flower trends are ever-changing and evolving. Two current, stand-out trends in wedding floral design are the hanging floral installation that is transforming venue spaces everywhere and the beautifully feminine floral crown.

hanging floral installationsHanging floral installations are an amazing statement piece for your wedding reception space at either an indoor venue or marquee space. Designs vary from an informal garden look with lots of different textures, foliage and pretty, colourful blooms scattered throughout, to clean, modern designs of one flower variety en masse. With the many blooms that are needed to create such a look and the labour required to execute the designs, these huge, beautiful statement pieces are usually reserved for brides with a larger budget who want to create that ‘wow’ look.

floral crownsNo longer reserved for the flower girl, floral crowns are becoming a beautiful way for brides to dress up their wedding hairstyle. They are often very textured with a divine mix of flowers and foliage, creating a soft, romantic, relaxed and feminine look. The look can be created in any colour tone, from bright hues to soft pastels.

It can serve as a pretty alternative for the bridesmaids also, who may choose to have a floral crown instead of a traditional bouquet. Or a great way to dress up and have fun at the hens party or kitchen tea!
