The beautiful couple, Zoe and Matt, celebrated their wedding at the breathtaking Campbell Point House in the month of May. Their guests were treated to a highly sophisticated and unforgettable event that perfectly reflected the couple’s style and warmth. For me, it was an honour to walk alongside Zoe through her planning journey and create the wedding flowers that brought her vision to life.
Meeting Zoe
My first meeting with Zoe wasn’t in a wedding consultation, but as a retail customer in our store. From that very first conversation, I felt an instant connection. Over time, that bond deepened as Zoe returned to plan her wedding flowers. It was an incredibly rewarding journey to turn her dreams into reality, and one that I will always be grateful for.
Her brief was not ordinary, and that was exactly what made it so exciting. Whenever we caught up, our conversations were long and creative, brimming with ideas, sketches and inspiration. They say the journey is half the fun, and that was certainly true with Zoe.
Delivering the Bridal Flowers
The morning of the wedding is one of my favourite moments as a florist, when months (and sometime years) of planning finally become reality. Delivering Zoe’s bridal bouquet was an emotional experience I will never forget.
As I walked into the bridal suite with the bouquet in hand, I was shaking with excitement. When Zoe saw her flowers, she placed her hands over her mouth, completely overwhelmed. Within seconds we were both in tears, then bursting into laughter and hugging. It was a beautiful, human moment that reminded me why I do what I do.
A Bespoke Bridal Bouquet
Zoe’s bridal bouquet was designed to be as unique as her. It was not an ordinary bouquet, but one that was bespoke, extravagant and absolutely unforgettable. It had to make a statement alongside Zoe’s exquisite Valentino lace gown, sourced from Le Louvre, while still feeling harmonious with her look and palette.
We built the bouquet with layers of seasonal foliage, cascading strands of green amaranthus, fragrant ivory garden roses, pure white cymbidium orchids and lush white hydrangeas. The result was dramatic yet elegant, sculptural yet romantic. It reflected Zoe’s sophisticated taste while remaining deeply personal.
Styling Campbell Point House
Campbell Point House is a masterpiece in its own right. The sweeping views and European-style architecture are breathtaking even without flowers, but when dressed with florals, the estate transforms into another world entirely.
For Zoe and Matt, we wanted the flowers to feel lush and immersive. No space was left untouched. Mantelpieces were adorned with masses of greenery and blooms that cascaded down like living tapestries. The reception tables were dressed with dense glass urns filled with hydrangeas, creating a sense of abundance and sophistication. From every angle, guests were surrounded by beauty.
We worked carefully to ensure that neither the couple nor their guests could see the installation while it was underway. Revealing the complete design as they walked into the reception made the surprise all the more magical.
A Cherished Couple
Some weddings remain with you forever, and Zoe and Matt’s is one of those for me. Their warmth, trust and creative spirit made this an unforgettable collaboration. To play a role in such a significant moment in their lives was an honour I will always cherish.
In Zoe’s Words
After the wedding, Zoe sent me a message that still touches me deeply:
“Your work on the day (and in the months and months leading up to the wedding) was incredible and I will forever thank you for the hard work you put into our wedding. The comments we received from guests and suppliers about the florals is a testament to you and the extraordinary business you have created.
I still cannot believe the bouquet you presented me with. My sister Mia still talks today about what masterpieces they are. We feel so privileged that you created them for us. I feel so fortunate that you have been my florist, Kate. It has been a pleasure and I look forward to keeping in touch and purchasing my flowers from you in the future.”
Zoe’s words reflect exactly why I love being a Melbourne wedding florist. Flowers are not just arrangements; they are experiences, memories and emotions captured in bloom.
Closing Reflections
Creating Zoe and Matt’s wedding flowers at Campbell Point House was a journey filled with creativity, trust and joy. From the first bouquet delivered to the final reception reveal, every moment was rich with emotion.
If you are planning your own wedding and are dreaming of bridal flowers that feel personal, luxurious and unforgettable, I would love to help bring your vision to life. As a wedding florist in Melbourne, it is my honour to guide couples through this journey with care, creativity and heart.
