Wedding at Stokehouse

Some pics from this weekend's beautiful wedding in the 'Palm Room' at Stokehouse. Using a classic palette of whites and greens, an eclectic mix of vases, bottles and milk jugs were filled with masses of white flowers: lilies, roses, lisianthus, tuberose, tulips, freesias, hyacinth, snapdragons and green persimmons. So simple, but one of my favourite looks. Yum!

The first of the persimmons... ahhh autumn is just around the corner.

Vertical Gardens

I have fallen in love with the idea of a vertical succulent garden for my little courtyard. These are some gorgeous examples by landscape designer Flora Grubb. 

Slightly different but just as stunning are these vertical panels she installed at the Bardessono Hotel using tillandsias (air plants). Not only do they look fantastic, but they only require a misting of water every few days.
