LEAFY GREEN + WHITE ROSE + GYPSOPHILA // ROSE TINTED FLOWER CROWN

Rose Tinted Photography

I created this lush flower crown for a sweet soul named Maiya Jane. The intent was to keep it really fresh. I used leafy greens dotted with gyspophila, miniature spray roses, and a couple of white rose buds. It can be worn with the fuller section to the front, or to the side as I have modelled it here. I think the latter suits a simple side braid, or a messy chignon.

For this shoot, I wore this floaty crepe chiffon shirt with frilled sleeves that I picked up from a cute boutique in Shaoxing, China. It was in keeping with the fresh white wall, and it also really suited the style of the crown. I also imagine a cotton white summer dress with eyelet embroidery would look lovely. Perfect picnic date attire!

Special thanks to my hunk of a husband for snapping the photos of me. Also for being patient with my fussiness as I'm much more accustomed to being behind the lens.

ESTHER-FAITH LOVES MATT // A FLORAL FILLED WEDDING LACED WITH GOLD

Rose Tinted Flower Crowns

So although I have crafted many different lovely flower crowns, I must confess that these are still my favourites! A lavish combination of ruby reds, burgundy, seashell pinks, apricots and creams in an array of wild flowers set upon eucalyptus. It was such a delight to create such a challenging and creative design brief from Esther's wild, beautiful imagination. I searched many stores to find the most stunning silk blooms. I looked for orchids, hydrangea, poppies, a peony bud for the feature of the brides crown, wild berries, blossoms and basically anything native and lush.

Can we just dwell for a second on how impeccable those bouquets are? I am still in complete awe on just how well they compliment the flower crowns. Let's be honest they are more exquisite, they have to be. Real flowers are always going to be more beautiful. When paired with those luxurious beaded champagne/gold gowns... oh my! Esther's breath-taking lace gown was custom created by Leanne Day who did a wonderful job. Esther raves about her skills and how great she was at achieving her vision! 

As you can tell Esther-Faith has an incredible eye for detail. Keep watching as I am about to post images of her recent bohemian birthday soiree which she styled like a pro. I started making that particular post and then realized that I HAVE to show you the images of her wedding first because it's beyond stunning.

Please head over to the website of Stephan & Nakita Photography (who are dear friends of mine) to see more images of this darling wedding. Keep an eye out for the gorgeous illustrated stationery designs by Ashleigh Meyer who was a bridesmaid (loooong mermaid hair, swept to the side).

Noteworthy mention is that it was also recently featured in New Zealand Weddings Magazine; Autumn issue, April 2016. If your in NZ, be sure to pick up a copy!

PEACH + CREAM FLOWER CROWNS FOR KHLOE + KRISTINE

Rose Tinted Flower Crowns

Isn't it just absolutely gorgeous when Mama and Babe match? I created these custom Rose Tinted flower crowns for these two beauties to wear at young Khloe's first birthday party. So adorable! Seriously cute! I may have shrieked in delight when I saw this image captured by Kristine's brother.

This woman has a heart of gold and it was such a pleasure corresponding with her via email. She's the kind of person that I instantly clicked with as we bonded over ballerina tulle skirts. She's a joyful, creative and beautiful soul.

Thank you Kristine for asking me to craft these crowns, it brings me great happiness to see them in use.

Rose Tinted Flower Crowns

It's always a real treat to see my custom flower crowns come to life on a gorgeous bridal party. It's also a real joy to get to know my clients as we consult over colours, flowers and designs. I can tell you that Leann is an absolute gem with a real friendly nature. I think her bright smile is evident of this fact. And so she should be ecstatic. She had been with her beau Mike for over 8 years before they tied the knot! Don't you just love a good love story?

She is an absolute visionary and I just love how the look pulls together so beautifully. Those stunning gowns combined with the most incredible bouquets. It's enough to make you sigh.

Rose Tinted Photography & Wild Oak Co. Photography

When I was in New Zealand during February, I got to catch up with this gem [Samantha of Wild Oak Co.] for breakfast and an impromptu photo shoot in this stunning location. We discovered this small dwelling of trees close to her humble abode so we ventured there with a few Rose Tinted Flower Crowns on hand and camera's at the ready.   We took turns photographing one another wearing the new crochet lace cardigan I had bought the day prior.

It's so wonderful to collaborate with creative souls such as Samantha. You should be sure to check out Wild Oak Co. which the creative outlet of Sam and her husband Jonathan.
